Intellectual Property (IP) has often been viewed as a cost centre. Companies invest significantly in protecting and amassing IP assets to gain a competitive advantage. However, for some companies, significant revenue can be generated through the exploitation of research, technology transfer, and value generation from IP Licensing and Monetisation.

We work with operating companies, non-practising entities (NPE), patent brokerage and advisory firms to connect them with the best talent in the IP Licensing and Monetisation space across the US, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Rene Chung from the Adamson & Partners team came highly recommended to us when we sought to hire our first IP Licensing Executive. This meaningful position would guide the initiation and build out of our licensing program and practice. From the moment of first discussion, it was clear Rene was determined to make our search for the right candidate a success. She sought out to intimately understand our needs and our business in order to help deliver a professional service and good outcome. The AP team did a marvelous job with guiding us through the defining process for the role, setting the attributes to seek from the position and working in alignment with various teams within our organization, including our talent acquisition function. With her thoughtful marketing plan for the position and the reach of her network makes it clear that Rene is terrific for supporting any enterprise looking to make a meaningful executive hire. I would highly recommend her and AP for their services.”
