Orthopedic IP Catalog

A world-renowned orthopedic institute requested Upstream’s assistance in identifying their intellectual property (IP) assets and to value these assets for commercial purposes. The institute has developed proprietary software, operational platforms and protocols that provide data-driven process improvements that optimize operations and lead to greater efficiency.  The developments have also demonstrated improvement in the patient experience from initial contact with the patient to discharge.

The institute’s assets span a broad range, including software, proprietary algorithms, copyright protected workflow guidelines, and trademarks. Upstream prepared a comprehensive IP Asset Catalogue and advised on protection mechanisms for the institute’s know-how, material suitable for copyright protection, and trade secrets.

Upstream also valued the IP portfolio and has advised the institute in IP licensing and collaboration initiatives.
