Patent Asset Development

Experience that sees the commercial possibility.


A patent may protect a technology used far beyond the market its owner originally had in mind. Recognising that opportunity, and knowing how to develop it, is the starting point for Buerbank & Munch.

Our role

We take responsibility for the work ahead.


We identify promising patent positions and lead their commercial development. Our team brings technical findings, specialist legal advice, financial expertise and market knowledge together to shape a viable licensing or monetisation project.

You have a team that understands your objectives, coordinates the specialists and keeps the work focused on the commercial outcome.

Our network

The right expertise around the table.


Our founders’ long-standing relationships connect us with patent attorneys, IP litigators, technical laboratories, licensing specialists and financial experts. We draw on the capabilities each opportunity requires.

Where appropriate, licensing networks offer an established route to relevant markets.

Routes forward

The owner’s priorities set the direction.
