Licensing

When imagination becomes innovation!

To give you an idea about our work and how SciXess’ consulting activities are structured we have briefly summarized a typical process of an out-licensing deal. SciXess ® brings in hands-on professional experience throughout the whole licensing process . At SciXess ® , the identification of potential licensing partners is just the start of a successful partnership with our clients. We do also support you during the due diligence process, perform technology / patent valuations and conduct licensing negotiations which finally end in the closing of one or more licensing agreement(s) corresponding to your expectations.

The out-licensing cascade typically starts with the preparation of a Non-Confidential Information Package (NCIP). Such a "teaser" presents the technology, its application and its unique selling proposition in clear and persuasive words, but without providing confidential information. SciXess’ contribution: • Discuss the objectives and needs with our client company. • Define the licensing / M&A strategy with our client company. • Prepare an attractive Non-Confidential Information Package / Investment Proposal.

In our opinion valuation is not just putting a price tag on a patent. We strongly believe that only the combination of a qualitative and a quantitative approach - a procedure which is well established and characteristic for credit ratings - leads to the “real” value of intellectual property. SciXess’ contribution: • Perform a qualitative and a quantitative IP-rating. • Discuss the IP-rating result with our client company. • Define a licensing strategy according to the client company’s financial and / or operational needs.
