Consulting Services
With extensive experience across the IP spectrum and a diverse array of contacts, including in Brazil and the surrounding region, Kellis IP will help your organization develop and implement an IP strategy that advances, rather than distracts from, your business objectives.
Despite the significant impact that intellectual property can have on the ultimate success of a business, many decisionmakers don’t understand key aspects regarding intellectual property protection, whether in the United States or globally. Lack of familiarity regarding how intellectual property works can result in wasted time and money, susceptibility to low-quality advice from IP counsel, and significant lost opportunities.
Kellis IP offers customized training in intellectual property topics. Whether your C-suite needs an IP refresher, your liaison with outside IP counsel needs to be better-equipped to make informed decisions, or your workforce needs to understand what is IP and why does IP matter, Kellis IP can develop a tailored training solution that meets your needs while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
IP Education
IP Strategy
A well-developed IP strategy can alleviate the burden of IP-related decisionmaking, reduce your organization’s exposure to IP-related risk, and harness the power of intellectual property to advance your business objectives.
If you don’t yet have an IP strategy, Kellis IP will craft a strategy that aligns with your business objectives while taking into account the realities of your business as well as the environments in which your business operates. Once your strategy is in place, Kellis IP can help you implement that strategy as well—which means that you’ll be free to continue focusing on your existing duties.
If you already have an IP strategy but aren’t convinced that strategy is contributing to the success of your business, Kellis IP can review and tweak the strategy as needed to ensure that IP works for you - and not vice versa.
Additional Services
Regardless of other services you do or do not need, Kellis IP is available to help your organization:
Raise concerns and seek assistance: Kellis IP can share your concerns with appropriate government authorities or others who have the ability to offer key insights, effect change, and/or provide needed assistance.
Draft public consultation submissions: Participating in public consultations is key to ensuring that your perspectives are considered by government authorities analyzing changes to IP laws that will affect you and your business.
Facilitate meetings: Whether on my own or together with you, I can arrange online or in-person meetings with individuals whose involvement will be critical to achieving the outcomes you seek.
Interact with counsel: Many people struggle to know whether their IP counsel is doing a good job, providing sound advice, or charging a fair amount for services rendered. Kellis IP can help ensure that you are getting your money’s worth.
Monitoring and analysis: If you already have a team in place to implement your strategy, but lack an effective way to evaluate the progress or effectiveness of that implementation, I’ll develop a monitoring plan and prepare customized one-off or ongoing reports analyzing whether your strategy is working and whether any mid-course corrections are needed.
Brazil-related services Whether you represent a U.S organization doing business in Brazil or a Brazilian organization doing business in the U.S., Kellis IP can assist with cross-border communication, understanding, and strategy development/implementation to help you accomplish your goals.
