Context
A global technology company was separating its hardware and software divisions into two independent business units.
IP was deeply integrated across both, and the company needed to allocate ownership and licensing rights so both businesses remained commercially viable.
What we did
- Mapped key patents, software IP and proprietary algorithms across both business units
- Assessed the economic contribution of shared IP to each division’s projected revenues
- Developed a licensing framework giving both businesses access to critical IP assets
- Prepared valuation analysis to support internal governance and board approval
Impact
The restructuring completed with a clear split of IP ownership and licensing, and both businesses could operate independently.
