Rouse Consultancy aims to utilise a flexible and informal approach to assist businesses to identify, capture, manage and protect their innovations and intangible assets. The bespoke Rouse IP Online Toolkit helps UAE businesses to discover all the different types of intangible assets they have and review the main opportunities (and risks) associated with each of them – www.rouseconsulting.com

Advising on IP strategy has been a key offering of Rouse for many years. Building on our deep experience in providing multi-national clients with advice on the full range of intellectual property advice, we have built up a strong reputation internationally, particularly in complex and emerging markets. Rouse Consultancy brings together the strategy experts from across the business under one umbrella to deliver strategic IP consulting services as a discrete proposition.

Rouse Consultancy is closely aligned with the downstream IP services needed to ensure that these solutions are properly delivered.
The goal of establishing Rouse Consultancy is to offer a service that is first and foremost focused on the needs of businesses. Rather than providing intellectual property  advice in the traditional sense, constrained within a conventional legal framework, we aim to utilise a far more flexible and informal approach to assist our clients to capture and manage innovation and IP. We have the ability to spend time in a business and the skills, borne of seniority and experience, which enable us to ask the right questions and bring the necessary stakeholders together to draw IP into alignment with business strategies and goals. Our structure allows us to be dynamic and responsive to client needs, so capable of delivering bespoke services tailored to the business related issue at hand.
Rouse Consultancy advises:
•	Start-ups needing to evidence their technologies and frame their IP story to potential investors;
•	SMEs looking for opportunities for technology development and further market expansion without significant IP issues;
•	Multi-nationals and Government.

Rouse Consultancy Services. As our awards and accolades demonstrate, Rouse truly is an international leader in intellectual property.  Our key consultancy services reflect our expertise.
Innovation and Intellectual Property Identification Services The bespoke Rouse IP Online Toolkit helps UAE businesses to discover all the different types of intangible assets they have and review the main opportunities (and risks) associated with each of them. The online toolkit seamlessly generates reports which identify key intangible assets, flag risks to them and recommend action points, enabling businesses to more easily secure their intangible assets so contributing to their competitive advantage. Reviewing intangible assets and innovations in this way can for example help determine whether they are patentable, capable of registration as a design or whether they should be protected via other methods such as a trade secrets policy. It can also assist newly constituted businesses to identify where they need to perfect ownership of their intangible assets for example by requiring assignments from developers or consultants.

Development of Sustainable Innovation Management Strategies

Through formulation of a sustainable innovation management strategy Rouse Consultancy can assist businesses whose value lies in their innovations to gain competitive advantage by adequately protecting their intangible assets so that they can be used to underpin revenues and forecasts. This enables businesses to differentiate themselves from competitors who lack equivalent intangible assets, put up barriers to competition and maximise the value of their business prior to fundraising. The key to success is in identifying the most valuable intangible assets; ensuring they are properly owned and protected as intellectual property rights; and ensuring they can stand up to investor diligence. Where start-ups and SMEs need to protect their intellectual property but slow the burn of their cash reserves we can assist with methods to achieve this. We can also provide strategic recommendations for activities focused on driving profitability through the exploitation of intangible assets.

Transaction Focused Intellectual Property and Innovation Management Strategies

Rouse Consultancy can assist businesses to implement robust trade secret safeguards and ongoing protection in collaborations and joint ventures. We can also guide businesses through IP related commercialisation and licensing initiatives assisting them in generating new revenue streams and maximising the return from their IP assets.

Intellectual Property Commercialisation Services

Rouse Consultancy can advise on the optimal IP commercialisation approach in order to fully realise the value of a businesses’ Intangible assets.
