Overview

Intellectual property is a valuable asset that often gets overlooked in the hectic schedule of everyday business. Intellectual property is an asset that is included in the company's "balance sheet" and provides additional, if not the primary, valuation to the company.

This value-added asset can be sold, bought and traded as a part of everyday commerce. Intellectual property includes patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, and trade secrets.

It is important for a company to know what, if any, intellectual property it has and how to enhance the company's intellectual property position.

MVS Solutions Incorporated (MVS) will provide instruction and assistance in developing an intellectual property portfolio and program that is designed for your company's specific needs.

We respect your need for confidentiality. Please ask about a Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement when you contact us.

Intellectual Property Audit

MVS will conduct an intellectual property (IP) audit at the company's facilities. The IP audit includes a review of your in-house intellectual property documentation, review of the company's processes, technology and products as well as company literature and marketing information. Following the audit, MVS will provide a report summarizing the audit including suggestions and recommendations concerning how you may enhance your intellectual property asset base.

Assembling and Managing the Intellectual Property Portfolio

MVS will organize and assemble your company's intellectual property into a single file or portfolio and act as a liaison with your Patent Attorney or Agent in order to maximize the technical and business gains for your company. MVS can assist in the identifying of an appropriate legal resource, if required.

MVS will also, per your directive, initiate and conclude procedures and documentation leading to the filing of patents, trademarks, service marks and copyrighted material.

MVS will also provide you with valuable insight and procedures on how to protect your company's intellectual property as you deal with other companies, competitors, employees, clients and customers.

Training and Education

MVS will conduct on-site training and education for you and your employees. This training includes a seminar on intellectual property including handouts addressing such issues as:

What is patentable?
How do I patent my idea?
Who owns the patent rights?
What is a trade secret?
How do I maintain trade secrecy?

MVS can also implement company procedures to ensure protection of your ideas for patenting as well as a document disclosure program for establishing the priority date for your invention.

Intellectual Property Archiving and Record Keeping

Science Due Diligence - Technical Due Diligence
