IBIDEM is a medium-sized, highly-focused, very innovative company that specializes in Intellectual Property Rights. We are passionate about intellectual property, which is why are so motivated and disciplined about our work.
The business model of traditional intellectual property agencies focuses on “volume” of sales of registrations or administrative procedures (opposition, maintenance payments, etc.). Unlike these agents, we aim to align intellectual property portfolios with business strategy from a cost-effective point of view, for more efficient, lighter IP Portfolios, which are easier and less costly to manage.
At IBIDEM we have a different view. Our company sees intellectual property as a marketing mix tool, connected to the business strategy area rather than to the operations area. To achieve this, many of our members have been specifically trained in marketing and hold MBAs that give them a thorough understanding of the business world.
We focus on knowledge transfer and on creating value for our clients.
