Our profession: Innovation Consulting
Brandon Valorisation is a pioneer in the field of innovation consulting. The experience gained during more than 30 years of activity has given us a unique expertise in this profession we helped to create.
It is by constantly and attentively listening to our customers’ needs and questions that we have been able to develop our offer and provide a large range of services perfectly suited to meet the needs of start-ups, SMEs, research laboratories and project holders.
A major development concerns industrial property!
Convinced that the consultant in innovation must master industrial property law, we acquired an IP consulting firm, now known as Brandon IP.
The Brandon Group, innovation consultants, offers both the protection and defense of your intellectual property rights, with Brandon IP, and the economic and financial valuation services for your innovations with Brandon Valorisation. Our field of action extends worldwide, regardless of the field of activity or the location targeted.
Our unique approach to the profession of innovation consulting consists of considering the protection and valuation of innovation as a whole, complementary and inseparable.
Indeed, if the protection of your inventions is a compulsory step, it remains an investment which must from the start be part of an operating strategy and thus a strategy of profitability. We then speak of economic valorization.
A patent, a software, a trademark, a know-how, etc., are intangible assets. Our profession of innovation advisors means supporting you in your strategy of management and financial valuation of these intangible assets, which often constitute an important part of the value of your business project, whether you are a start-up or SME. So, whatever the stage of development of your innovation, our consultants are at your disposal and advise you in your strategy of valorization.
