The Sage Group℠ to release the IP Path to Value℠
Forms a Strategic Alliance with The Juhasz Law Firm, P.C.
The Sage Group, Bellevue, Washington – November 20, 2009 – The Sage Group the authors of the Path to Value℠ methodology for driving personal, professional and corporate value, announced today a strategic alliance with The Juhasz Law Firm, P.C. for wide release of a Path to Value for intellectual property in January 2010.
“Sage assists companies facing a business inflection point around “value”: how to see “value” more clearly, how to grow “value” more effectively, and how to realize “value” more predictably”, said Ron Worman, Managing Director of The Sage Group. An important part of this value process is for our clients to understand how their company assets line up with the business drivers of the company. We found the traditional patent process does not provide a compelling analytical framework for giving our clients a clear understanding of the value of their patents, which is critically important to being more competitive. The IP Path to Value is designed to fill that gap.”
Using a Heart of the Company℠ assessment, designed by Paul R. Juhasz, as a starting point, The Sage Group and Juhasz have co-developed an IP Path to Value suite of products and services that provides businesses with a nine stage process for strategically identifying, growing, and realizing patent value.
“In addition to the Heart of the Company assessment, clients can realize significant value from the Patent Quality℠ assessment, the Market Opportunity assessment and the Patent Adoption℠ assessment early in the process,” said Tom Miller, the Sage IP Path to Value Practice Leader. “However, Sage clients can enter the IP Path to Value suite of products and services at any stage. The strategic alliance of The Juhasz Law Firm and The Sage Group have perfected solutions in support of these assessments within their respective areas of practice. The analytics behind the assessments will enable this process and thereby give our clients more predictability in their strategic thinking around patents.”
“The Juhasz Law Firm is committed to helping clients of the firm better understand their patents and potential value, how those patents may be protected, and how they may be positioned to realize business objectives,” said Paul R. Juhasz, founder of The Juhasz Law Firm, P.C. “The IP Path to Value suite of products and services is available to clients of the firm as yet another tool to assist them to think more strategically about their patents – not just when it comes to asserting their patents through downstream licensing programs or in litigation, but at every upstream step of the patent process. The IP Path to Value suite of products and services provides clients of the firm with certain strategic patent thinking options that nicely complement the traditional patent lawyering services that are provided by The Juhasz Law Firm.”
The IP Path to Value suite of products and services is currently being selectively offered to qualified clients but is scheduled for wide release in January, 2010.
