Advisory Services:

It is well recognized the next generation of technology revolution will create significant impact on
our existing infrastructures, energy, telecommunications, way of doing business and people’s lives.
As we emerge to the next industrial revolution, the global market conditions are increasingly com-
petitive. Facing such a reality, no company can afford to ignore continued research and develop-
ment, let alone the effectiveness and efficiency of the research.

From building a winning brand to developing a cutting-edge patented technology, IP Advantages
provides comprehensive guidance to clients in growing their research projects from “garage” stage
to maturity. Whether be a fortune 500 company or a start-up, we assist you to establish a new mar-
ket niche or break into an existing market with competitive technologies and winning patent portfo-
lios.

IP Advantages has one mission: to assist our clients to promote innovation and gain market recogni-
tion and reward for their scientific and technological breakthroughs. With this mission in mind, IP
Advantages helps companies to assess their IP assets, manage and grow their IP portfolios, identify
opportunities and vulnerabilities and develop an execution strategy that delivers maximum returns
for their research investment. We apply analytical methods based on the technical, legal and finan-
cial expertise of our associates and consultants to assess the breadth, depth and quality of our cli-
ent’s IP assets, in order to identify the areas of most economic growth of their IP focus and invest-
ment.

Facing the competitive nature of today’s market, no one company is immune from the vulnerability
and risks of being attacked by competitors’ patented technologies. This is where IP Advantages can
make a difference. After conducting in-depth analysis, we help our clients to identify the areas of
their business that are most vulnerable to assertion risks and the most likely asserters, and assess the
future market focus of these potential threats. As a result we help our clients to defend their free-
dom to operate through strategic and targeted patent acquisitions, licensing, joint development and
other cooperative programs.

Further, we also assist private equity and venture capital firms who contemplate investments in
technology companies to perform due diligence analysis specifically relating to the IP assets of the
target companies in order to mitigate the risks associated with the investment. Specifically, IP Ad-
vantages assists with the valuation of the IP portfolio including calculating future revenues, profits
and cash flow prospects relating to the portfolio’s strength and growth.



IP Advantages helps high-tech companies to identify opportunities to monetize their redundant or
underutilized technologies and IP assets. We develop an execution strategy that aims to maximize
the value of an IP portfolio through licensing or brokerage programs. Further, we focus on bringing
technologies across the globe to foreign companies who are interested in acquiring research projects
and technologies in different stages of maturity and we assist the acquisition entity to effectively
commercialize the acquired technologies. We believe the next generations of Alexander Graham
Bell, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein will be created without any geographical borders.

Instead of burdening ourselves with a high administration overhead, we maintain a network of fi-
nancial, marketing, technological, and legal experts who possess extensive in-depth experience and
expertise from market analysis, technological development, industry standard, financial assessment
and structure, legal analysis and representation. A fact-based valuation of an IP portfolio, targeted
price and sales or acquisition strategy will be developed in each specific case. Our experienced
networks of brokers and portfolio managers develop compelling, buyer-specific portfolio packages
and conduct an efficient and professional sales process. We also represent buyers in acquiring key
patents to solidify their portfolio and gain freedom to operate positions. In each situation, we nego-
tiate the best possible outcome on behalf of our clients.

We are active in the global markets and have brokered and negotiated deals ranging from over 500
patents to as few as a single patent. In addition to getting the high end of what the market will bear,
we have also been able to negotiate deals that include free Grant Back licenses to sellers so they can
remain in business and can often get a percentage of the licensing revenue.

To promote and facilitate the unprecedented economic growth in China and other emerging markets
such as India, we are actively developing a practice that is specifically designed for the high-tech
boom in these emerging market economies. Our objective is to help high-tech companies and ven-
ture firms who focus on these markets to navigate through the complexities and risks of managing
and commercializing IP assets in order to maximize their ROI. Most global technology leaders op-
erate in extremely complex and multi-faced systems with commercial and competitive dynamics
that require in-depth knowledge base and sophisticated business acumen. IP portfolio management
often requires taking nuanced approaches based on in-depth strategic analyses, which call for a
combination of skills and discipline ranging from scientific, technical, legal, finance to policy
judgment. This is where IP advantages’ unique market knowledge and experience can help you.
Our proprietary IP portfolio management method not only serves to maximize the commercial val-
ues of innovations from the East and the West, but also helps to increase IP awareness and reduce
infringement of IP rights in emerging markets.

We focus on advising strategic acquisitions of cutting-edge technologies and IP portfolios, manag-
ing and growing them organically to create asset values and commercializing them by way of stra-



tegically building companies to develop and manufacture products based on these technologies. In
addition, we also advise IP asset owners to strategically assert, litigate and license their IP assets in
order to maximize its market value.

Further, we assist clients in establishing the core business terms of a transaction in addition to advis-
ing on intellectual property rights allocation, licensing terms, warranties, indemnities, damage dis-
claimers, limitations of liability, and the like. We also actively assist clients in creating new busi-
ness models. We regularly work with clients in industries as diverse as hardware, software, semi-
conductor, biotechnology, medical devices, telecommunications, financial services, Internet and E-
commerce, entertainment, video games, and chemicals.

In addition, we serve as Chief IP counsels for young and growth type of high-tech enterprises that
may not wish to allocate legal expenses while growing its business. In this capacity, we step into
the shoes of the company and provide comprehensive services relating to all areas of IP practice,
from trademark registration, patent procurement, trade secret protection measurement to strategi-
cally structure a strong intellectual property portfolio that can fend off all assertion of alleged in-
fringements from competitors. More importantly, we help emerging market companies to commer-
cialize technologies developed in-house or through collaboration.

Specialized skills are needed to negotiate transactions involving the development, purchase, sale, or
licensing of technologies and technology focused businesses. Expertise in both intellectual property
and commercial law is required, as well as business acumen, technical savvy, and knowledge of in-
dustry best practices. Typical examples of counseling we provide are:

• Development, manufacturing, and commercialization agreements
• Intellectual property and technology acquisitions and divestments
• Joint ventures and strategic alliances
• Patent and technology licenses, including in adversarial contexts
• Sourcing arrangements, including off-shoring and BPO
• Distribution, supply, and OEM agreements
• Technology procurement
• Software licensing
• Internet law
• Open source development and distribution
• Reverse engineering projects
• Intellectual property management and audits
• Branding and marketing arrangements



IP Advantages helps investors eliminate or ameliorate intellectual property risks. We value their
investments properly and identify opportunities to strengthen the IP assets underlying the invest-
ment. We provide accurate and thorough freedom-to-operate assessments; evaluations of the
strength of an investment’s proprietary technology position; and targeted advice to address key
business risks and opportunities in a venture investment’s licensing and partnering portfolio, includ-
ing possible litigation outcomes.

We also leverage our IP related experiences in traditional industries to the emerging area of clean-
tech sector. We assist venture capitalists and other alternative energy entrepreneurs and investors to
perform intellectual property due diligence on investments relating to technologies that rely on or
promote renewable and sustainable resources. We work actively in both start-up ventures and es-
tablished companies within the Cleantech sector in the creation and protection of patent portfolios
and property. We are currently actively involved in several projects ranging from coal to liquid,
coal gasification, batteries, mobile communications and solar technologies.

Services we provide typically include:

• Conducting due diligence;
• Evaluating and analyzing intellectual property portfolios;
• Developing and strengthening patent and technology portfolios;
• Strategically advising on how to deal with overlapping patent and technology positions;
• Identifying the competitive aspects of an investment’s technology;
• Performing detailed and complex freedom to operate analyses;
• Assessing business risks and challenges in licensing and commercialization agreements and
providing practical advice on addressing them;
• Strategically advising on how to best position a business through partnering and licensing;
• Creating innovative solutions to ameliorate IP impediments;
• Collaboration with experienced and insightful IP litigators to assess possible litigation out-
comes;
• Evaluating inventorship issues;
• Providing guidance on legal issues involving academia and institution oriented technologies;
• Identification of potential licensing opportunities.



Patent litigation is believed to be extremely costly, time consuming, whether asserting your own
rights against an infringer or defending from an alleged assertion. This is where IP Advantages ex-
cels. It uses its expertise in patent prosecution, litigation and licensing to monitor and manages the
entire litigation. We structure a cost-saving litigation plan with a strategically selected litigation
firm, and we manage and oversee the entire litigation process to ensure that cases are handled in the
most efficient and cost-effective manner for all aspects of the litigation from discovery to trial or
settlement negotiations. The end result: money saved, case won!

Having conducted numerous patent and technology licensing negotiations and patent litigations, we
recognize that outcomes in licensing negotiations are often intertwined and affected by the antici-
pated outcomes in a related litigation. Accordingly, we believe the most efficient use of skilled ad-
vocacy is to prevent, rather than conduct, litigation. Essentially, adversarial patent licensing nego-
tiations are settlements of litigations that have not yet been brought, and the key factor in settlement
calculus is to make and advocate reliable predictions about what would happen if litigation ensues.
This rationale results to our philosophy of developing an active, diverse and inclusive practice in
adversarial patent assertion, litigation and licensing negotiation.

The types of negotiations we conduct cover a broad range - from comprehensive cross-licenses of
hundreds or thousands of patents between large, multi-national electronics companies to negotiation
of settlements with individual inventors conducting licensing campaigns on an industry-wide basis,
to highly specialized bilateral negotiations over a single patent. The issues involved in such nego-
tiations have ranged from traditional validity and infringement evaluations, to issues concerning the
measurement of damages and reasonable royalties, to issues from legal specialties other than intel-
lectual property - such as antitrust - that sometimes affect licensing terms and strategies.

IP Advantages helps clients wade through the complexity surrounding various patent licensing is-
sues. We bring together the core expertise in patent portfolio evaluations, market analysis, reverse
engineering, proof package and claim chart construction to develop a strategy that will result in the
greatest value for its client’s patent assets. Additionally, we support our clients by actively assisting
them in the execution of monetization strategies.



Legal Practices

The firm provides an innovative and cost-efficient legal service mechanism as compared to tradi-
tional type of law firms. Instead of imposing a stringent hourly fee, we stand in client’s position,
and wear the business hats. Thus, we work together with clients in achieving their objectives in a
much more efficient manner. First, we structure an action plan based on client’s business objectives;
second, we propose a creative compensation plan for our legal services; third, we act with high effi-
ciency and business acumen to protect clients’ rights. We have played many significant roles in the
creation and protection of many significant patent portfolios in the areas of telecommunication,
semiconductor, wireless technologies, information technologies, and life science industries. In our
past experiences, we have worked with clients such as the Alcatel-Lucent technologies, IBM, Sony,
Computer Associates, Nokia, other fortune 500 companies.

Our patent prosecution and counseling service is unrivaled in its depth of experience, industry and
technical expertise and international scale. We are particularly skilled in strategic planning of patent
portfolios in alliance with business and market penetration, including drafting broad and in-depth
patent applications to capture complex technical intricacies and novel creations, in anticipation of
any possible future challenge to the validity of the patents.

We work closely with companies from the earliest stage of their technical development, offering
valuable advice on how to protect their inventions and ideas in view of business strategies. We are
called upon to advise clients on complex licensing, patent clearance, and adversarial matters, as well
as to provide strategic business counseling regarding the development of products or technologies
that may allegedly infringe patents held by competitors or require the negotiation of royalty pay-
ments.

When necessary, we assemble a network of experienced patent attorneys, patent litigators and tech-
nical experts to address unique business or IP issues that may arise in the US, China and the rest of
the world.

With the network of lawyers virtually associated, our services encompass a broad spectrum of tech-
nical fields, ranging from information and networking, software, Internet, telecommunications,
semiconductors, electronic storage media, digital signal processing technologies, as well as pharma-
ceutical and bioscience technologies. Along with the development of new age green technologies,
we are actively involved in the field of clean-tech, nanotechnologies and related alternative energy
technology development. Equipped with a network of experts in these emerging technical fields,
our practice is tailored to provide cutting edge patent prosecution and counseling advice.



We also represent clients in a wide range of trademark-related matters, including:

• Trademark clearance, registration, counseling and enforcement;
• Trademark oppositions and cancellations;
• Trademark due diligence;
• Negotiation of licenses and co-existence agreements;
• Trademark and domain name disputes and litigation;
• Transactional trademark issues in connection with the formation, operation, financing, and
sale of businesses.

We help clients develop and protect the value of their trademarks and service marks by preparing,
filing, prosecuting, and maintaining trademark applications and registrations; conducting trademark
searches; working with clients to develop trademark protection strategies and to manage portfolios;
negotiating trademark licenses and co-existence agreements; and handling opposition and cancella-
tion proceedings. We can also represent clients in opposition and cancellation proceedings before
the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Collaborating with various established firms around the
world, we handle trademark filings, oppositions, cancellations, and litigation outside of the US. As
such, we help clients to develop internationally renowned marks.

The most valuable assets of a company typically include its intellectual property (“IP”) and confi-
dential information, and the employees entrusted with this information. Both IP and employees can
be highly mobile. We advise clients on how to protect against the theft of their IP from both exter-
nal and internal threats by implementing trade secret protection and information security programs.
Often, trade secret protection includes employee agreements and/or proprietary information agree-
ments, which contain restrictive covenants (e.g., non-competition, non-solicitation and non-
disclosure agreements). In today’s global economy, we assist clients in tailoring the appropriate re-
strictive covenants under laws that vary widely by state and international jurisdictions. With the
proliferation of technology in the workplace, we also assist clients to design and implement effec-
tive information security programs and policies to prevent intentional or inadvertent loss of data.

Our copyright practice focuses on firm is particularly experienced in the area of computer software,
including issues relating to the scope of copyright protection and business arrangements for research
and development, consulting, and licensing. Our network of of-counsels provides valuable advice
in all other types of copyrighted materials, including motion pictures, visual art, sound recordings,
and other literary, musical, dramatic, sculptural, pictorial, and architectural works.
