Intellectual Property

Today’s competitive business environment demands that companies leverage their intellectual assets by seeking to protect and assert their rights. Claims alleging Intellectual Property (IP) infringement are increasing in frequency, visibility and financial risk. The potential exposure associated with large intellectual property damages awards requires experienced, credible professionals with proven and successful track records.

The need for functional expertise and analytical depth often manifests when parties need to address the benchmarks typically required by the courts. The IP professionals of Navigant provide consulting services to IP owners, corporations and their counsel involved in patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and trade dress disputes. We can construct or evaluate economic damages models of various complexities and can address all forms of monetary compensation, including lost sales or profits, reasonable royalties, unjust enrichment, lost value and statutory damages, among others.

Frequently, companies need to address a variety of IP/Intellectual Asset (IA) issues outside the legal arena. We offer services to meet a wide range of client needs, including valuation, royalty recovery, tax/transfer pricing, and fact investigations. In addition, Navigant Consulting’s IP professionals help clients leverage their intellectual assets by reviewing licensing agreements and royalty payments for accuracy, completeness and compliance with contractual terms, performing technology, market and competitive assessments, and examining patent portfolios to find potentially lucrative patented technologies for sale, license, or other opportunities.
