agencyIP represents the intellectual capital, including patents and technologies, underutilized by corporations, developers and venture capital backed companies which becomes our raw materials for unlocking the untapped value through repurposing, packaging, selling or licensing into new fields of use.
agencyIP also represents established Trademarks and Brands which enables us to create unique opportunities for both the licensor and licensee.
There are a variety of areas where we harvest “underutilized IP.” These areas create a rich environment for further innovation and development.
Corporations hold tremendous amounts of Patents, Technologies, and Trademarks some of which have historically been under-utilized, and some have been forgotten. Additionally, opportunities exist outside the parent corporation’s core areas.
agencyIP is cataloging and creating a library of “underutilized” IP as well as repurposing, marketing and discovering new fields of use, integrating technology and creating opportunities for the owner.
We are an agency that represents your technology and intellectual capital assets including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and know-how. We represent our clients to maximize value through licensing, sales, repurposing and exploring new fields of use.
Represented packages may contain any mixture of IP properties; from patents combined to create a portfolio to complete, patent-protected implementations of products with branding, industrial, software and hardware designs.
agencyIP offers cutting edge solutions and worldwide representation in the areas of:
Catalog and database of intellectual capital assets from a variety of sources
Experienced product professionals to package and enhance the properties for maximum value
Licensing, Sales, Manufacturing and Distribution Relationships
Retail Relationships
Product Designs for License/Manufacture
Worldwide licensing, marketing and sales team
Many owners of IP lack the resources, motivation, time, relationships or know-how to creatively explore and develop new markets as well as repurposing certain IP. agencyIP has the multi-client view and worldwide experience required to fully maximize and monetize your IP.
At times, our Product Development team may create new package combinations from the available properties in the agencyIP catalog or our Refinery Partners. Additional intellectual capital may be created or sourced to enhance these opportunities as well as repurposing IP.
Integration or improvement of the original intellectual capital, also creates “new IP opportunities.”

Intellectual Property Considerations in M&A TransactionsRiveles Wahab LLP
M&A transactions often live or die on the basis of well thought out and executed legal due diligence. Indeed, due diligence often shapes core deal terms, transaction structure, and whether the deal itself even moves forward. For traditional businesses with physical assets, due diligence may come with reasonably obvious do’s and don’ts. However, in M&A deals where intellectual property (“IP”) is the key or sole asset, due diligence becomes even more critical yet far less obvious in terms of best practices.
In such deals, often unique and powerful transaction structure and drafting considerations come into play that are unfortunately overlooked as practitioners often make unwarranted assumptions regarding IP ownership and/or curing defects. Moreover, there are often misconceptions about the applicability of ordinary representations, warranties, and other M&A provisions to IP as a “one-size-fits-all” solution to the often unique array of defects and other “wrinkles” attached to the IP. In these cases, valuing and structuring the transaction can be adversely affected, the post transaction operations of the target business can be compromised, and the rights of both purchaser and seller can be significantly undermined.
This course, presented by Kaiser Wahab, partner in the law firm of Riveles Wahab LLP, which is dedicated to M&A transactions in the private equity space for IP driven early-stage/mature companies, is designed to arm the practitioner with the vocabulary, skill set, and overall understanding of best practices in IP driven M&A transactions.
