Uniquely integrated: patent attorneys, IP lawyers, valuers, insurance advisers and dealmakers all in one team.

Leverage IP is the advisory arm of Integrated IP. The same firm that protects your IP can value it, insure it, and sell it.

Our Services

With three integrated service lines, we help you understand the value of your IP, cut the risk of holding it, and help you earn money from it.



Value Quantified

Know what your IP is worth. We value it with evidence you can show a board, a buyer, or the tax office.

Generic valuation methods often fail to consider the function, legal, and financial characteristics that make intangible assets different. Whether the valuation is for M&A, tax, litigation, or fundraising, you need analysis that holds up to scrutiny.

How we help

Our IP valuation specialists value technology, brands, data and businesses that depend on intangible assets. Every valuation integrates the functional, legal and financial characteristics of the IP, and is used for M&A planning, financial reporting, tax compliance, fundraising, litigation and value optimisation.

Our understanding of the IP landscape and IP economics also supports defensible royalty opinions for licensing, dispute and transfer pricing matters.

Licensing can add incremental earnings or drive a company’s whole profit line. Either way, a successful licensing program depends on the right royalty pricing and structure.

You cannot set the right value or royalty rate without knowing the commercial strength of the asset.

How we help

We use best-practice methodologies and advanced assessment tools to give a structured, evidence-based view of how attractive an IP asset is. The assessment combines two questions: can the asset generate and sustain earnings, and what legal, technical and commercial risks could limit that value?

Two tools do the work. The IIP SnapShot Score gives an indicative assessment; the IIP Rating goes deeper. Either can run as a standalone technology review or sit inside valuation, royalty, licensing or transaction work.

Can you help us report or defend the value of our IP with confidence?

Yes. Our lawyers, technical specialists and valuers work together, and we set out the assumptions and evidence so you can explain the number to anyone who asks.


What underpins a royalty opinion?

A supportable royalty opinion usually needs more than database evidence. We consider the legal strength of the IP, technical contribution, commercial context, comparable transactions and deal structure.


Can you support licensing negotiations?

Yes. We support licensing discussions with valuation analysis, royalty analysis (including benchmarking) and deal-structure advice that help clarify what is commercially justifiable before positions become entrenched.


What is the best way to align IP strategy with how the business actually creates value?

We map each IP asset to the products and revenue it supports, so decisions about protection, licensing and risk follow the money.


We have IP assets that are not producing revenue. Are there practical ways to unlock value?

Yes. We find dormant IP and test the realistic routes to value: licensing, partnership, redeployment or sale.


Can you help us understand and quantify risk across the IP portfolio?

Yes. An audit shows where the exposures are, what they would cost you, and which to fix first.


What should we do to prepare our IP position for a transaction or diligence process?

We find the issues a buyer will test, ownership, strength of protection, key risks, and fix them before they cost you in the deal.


Can you review whether our IP ownership structure is fit for future growth and transactions?

Yes. We review who owns what, and flag anything that would cause friction or a discount in a transaction. 


What is involved in obtaining IP insurance that reflects actual exposure?

We present your IP risk clearly to insurers, so the cover you buy matches the exposure you actually have.


How do we connect legal, financial and technical perspectives on IP inside the organisation?

Our lawyers, valuers and technical specialists work on the same engagement, so each tests the others' assumptions. That tends to find problems, and opportunities, that single-discipline advisers miss.


Can you help prioritise which IP assets deserve further investment?

Yes. We rank assets by strength, relevance and commercial potential, so budget goes to the IP that matters.
