Case Studies
Client:
The client is the technology transfer office of one of the top Universities in Europe active in the mental health industry. The research group had been working on the diagnostics and assessment of mental health and had active collaborations with various Pharmaceutical corporates.
Problem:
The client required an evaluation of their patent portfolio mental health assessment technology to determine the potential and options for its monetization. The client was further interested in identifying companies that would be interested to license their patented technology. Overall, the client wanted the market due diligence and technology monitoring to understand the licensing opportunities
Solution:
Objective:
The analysis was divided into two segments, Technology Evaluation & Licensing Strategies
Technology Evaluation:
- Technology study and domain study for understanding the unique features of the technology
- Secondary Market Research to identify application areas and major players active in the area.
- Potential Infringement Study to identify any products in the market that could infringe the patent
Competitive analysis to identify and understand alternate technologies in the markets and thus assess the potential for commercialization
Licensing Strategies:
After identifying no infringement for the patent, Sagacious followed the technology licensing approach
- Identifying companies that have patent filings in the same domain to capture players working in the domain.
- Identifying Start-ups/Technology companies developing products in the domain to understand the needs
- Searching for companies in peripheral domains that have interest/research areas in the domain for technology transfer opportunities.
- Monitoring newly launched products, potential product pipelines, new patent filings, seminars and public events to check continued interest, and market activities such as M&As, collaborations, R&D announcements. (Deliverables shared for a span of 18 months)
Outcome:
Impact:
