IP Portfolio Management is the strategic administration of all intellectual property assets owned by a business or individual. It involves identifying, protecting, maintaining, monitoring, and commercially exploiting IP rights including trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs, and trade secrets to maximize business value and competitive advantage.
What is an IP Portfolio?
An IP portfolio is the complete collection of intellectual property rights owned by your business—registered trademarks for brands, patents for inventions and innovations, copyrights for creative works and software, industrial designs for product aesthetics, domain names and digital assets, and trade secrets and proprietary information.
Why Portfolio Management Matters:
As businesses grow, IP assets multiply and become complex. Without systematic management, critical renewals are missed, unauthorized use goes undetected, licensing opportunities are lost, and enforcement becomes reactive rather than strategic. Professional IP portfolio management ensures your intellectual assets remain protected, valuable, and aligned with business objectives.
Our Portfolio Management Services:
IP Audit & Strategy: We conduct comprehensive audits identifying all your IP assets, assess protection gaps, evaluate portfolio strength, and develop customized IP strategies aligned with business goals.
Registration & Prosecution: We handle trademark registrations domestically and internationally, patent applications and prosecution, copyright registrations, and industrial design filings across multiple jurisdictions.
Maintenance & Renewals: Track renewal deadlines for all IP assets, ensure timely payment of renewal fees, maintain IP registrations in active status, and handle all administrative formalities.
Monitoring & Enforcement: Watch for infringements and unauthorized use, send cease and desist notices, file opposition and cancellation proceedings, and litigate IP infringement cases when necessary.
Commercialization Support: Negotiate licensing agreements, handle IP assignments and transfers, advise on franchise and technology transfer, and structure IP-backed financing arrangements.
Centralized IP Asset Management Single-point control of all intellectual property across jurisdictions, brands, and IP types, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Prevents Loss of Rights Systematic tracking prevents missing critical renewal deadlines, oppositions, or use requirements that could result in loss of valuable IP rights.
Maximizes Commercial Value Strategic portfolio management identifies monetization opportunities through licensing, franchising, or selling unused IP assets.
Cost Optimization Evaluate which IP assets truly drive business value, maintain essential rights, and abandon non-strategic registrations, optimizing IP investment.
Risk Mitigation Early detection of infringements and conflicts allows proactive enforcement, preventing market confusion and brand dilution.
Global Protection Strategy Coordinate international IP filings strategically based on business expansion plans, ensuring protection in key markets without redundant costs.
Competitive Intelligence Monitor competitor IP activities, identify market trends, anticipate competitive moves, and adjust strategy accordingly.
Enhanced Business Valuation Well-managed IP portfolios significantly increase business valuation for investments, mergers, acquisitions, or IPOs.
Step 1: Initial Portfolio Assessment (1-2 Weeks) We conduct comprehensive review of your existing IP assets, business operations identifying unprotected IP, competitive landscape analysis, and current IP management practices.
Step 2: IP Audit & Gap Analysis (2-3 Weeks) Our team performs detailed audit documenting all IP rights, ownership verification, validity assessment, identifying protection gaps, and evaluating infringement risks.
Step 3: Strategic IP Plan Development (1-2 Weeks) We develop customized strategy covering priority IP assets requiring immediate protection, international filing strategy, enforcement priorities, budget allocation, and short/long-term IP roadmap.
Step 4: Portfolio Organization & Documentation (1-2 Weeks) We create centralized IP database with all registrations, applications, deadlines, and documents; establish renewal tracking systems; and organize ownership records and assignment documentation.
Step 5: New IP Filings (Ongoing) Based on strategy, we file new trademark applications, patent applications for innovations, copyright and design registrations, and international applications under Madrid/PCT systems.
Step 6: Monitoring & Surveillance (Continuous) We implement trademark watch services for brand protection, patent landscape monitoring for technology space, competitor IP activity tracking, and marketplace surveillance for infringements.
Step 7: Maintenance Management (Ongoing) Our team tracks all renewal deadlines, manages renewal payments, handles post-registration compliance, and maintains use requirements for trademarks.
Step 8: Enforcement Actions (As Needed) When infringement detected, we send legal notices, file opposition or cancellation proceedings, negotiate settlements, and litigate infringement cases.
Step 9: Commercial Exploitation (Ongoing) We assist with licensing agreements negotiation, IP valuation for transactions, franchise and technology transfer documentation, and IP due diligence for M&A.
Step 10: Regular Portfolio Review (Quarterly/Annual) Periodic portfolio health assessments, strategy adjustment based on business changes, cost-benefit analysis of maintaining specific rights, and recommendations for portfolio optimization.

Costs vary based on portfolio size, number of jurisdictions, and services required. Basic management for small portfolios starts from ₹25,000-50,000 annually. Comprehensive management for large multi-jurisdictional portfolios can range ₹2-10 lakhs annually. We offer customized packages—pay only for services your business needs. Consider it investment protection—proper management prevents costly losses from missed renewals or undetected infringements.
Minimum annual comprehensive review recommended, with quarterly monitoring for active enforcement. Additionally, conduct reviews when launching new products/services, entering new markets, during mergers or acquisitions, after significant business model changes, or when competitors launch similar offerings. Regular reviews ensure portfolio remains aligned with evolving business strategy and market conditions.
Most jurisdictions offer grace periods (typically 6 months) with additional fees. If grace period expires, rights are lost and registration cancelled. Competitors can potentially register your mark. Re-registration isn’t guaranteed—someone else might file first. Patent rights once lost cannot be restored. This is why professional management is crucial—we maintain comprehensive deadline tracking preventing such expensive losses.
Not necessarily. Strategic approach considers actual business presence and revenue, likelihood of expansion, enforcement environment and costs, risk of counterfeiting or infringement, and budget constraints. We prioritize key markets—home country, major revenue sources, manufacturing locations, and high-risk markets. Madrid Protocol and PCT facilitate cost-effective international protection without filing everywhere immediately.
We implement continuous monitoring through trademark watch services flagging similar filings, marketplace surveillance on e-commerce platforms, customs recordation preventing counterfeit imports, and competitor intelligence tracking. Upon detection, we send cease-and-desist notices, file oppositions or cancellation proceedings, negotiate settlements or licensing, and litigate when necessary. Early detection through systematic monitoring prevents infringements from becoming established market presences.
Absolutely. Investors and acquirers conduct thorough IP due diligence. Well-managed portfolios with clear ownership, no gaps or conflicts, documented protection strategy, and evidence of enforcement significantly enhance valuations. We prepare IP due diligence reports, clean up ownership and documentation issues, demonstrate revenue potential through licensing, and position IP as key business asset. Strong IP portfolios can increase exit valuations by 20-40%.
