What is Innovation IP?

Innovation IP^® gives innovative and ambitious New Zealand businesses the knowledge, capability and confidence to leverage their IP and intellectual assets to enable growth and reduce risk.

How will Innovation IP help you?

It will show you how to: 

• manage infringement risk
• learn how to avoid losing valuable IP
• find out how to identify important IP assets such as patents, trademarks, know-how and copyrights
• discover how to leverage IP value for faster growth and contractual arrangements.

However, Innovation IP won’t suddenly turn you into an IP expert. It’s not a service for registering patents and trademarks, or defending copyright. And it definitely won’t ignore all your existing know-how and expertise!

What our customers say about Innovation IP

Innovation IP completely changed how we looked at our business…We can now see how we fit in the eco-system and how we can monetarise the things we’ve done instead of trying to hide them.
