Comprehensive IP strategy development, policy formulation, and advisory services aligned with business objectives

Strategy development, policy formulation, valuation support, and licensing guidance.

Practice Overview

The IP advisory and strategy practice at BananaIP Counsels provides comprehensive guidance to help organisations align intellectual property activities with business objectives, including developing IP strategies, formulating policies, and making informed decisions on protection, commercialisation, and risk management.

A well-formulated IP strategy plays a critical role in enhancing the business value derived from intellectual property assets. Our advisory services help organisations understand where their valuable IP resides, assess gaps in protection, evaluate risks, and develop actionable plans for IP portfolio development and commercialisation.

Beyond strategy development, we provide IP opinions and reports for decision-making, risk clearance assessments for product launches, valuation support for transactions, and licensing strategy guidance. Our approach focuses on practical, implementable recommendations aligned with client capabilities and resources.
