Offspring brings the next generation of technologies to life by creating new start-up companies, licensing intellectual property and providing technology commercialisation services. Offspring generates revenue in three ways:
- building a diversified portfolio of IP Innovation Licences that will deliver both upfront lump sum payments and long term annuity revenues;
- investing in IP related to early and late stage ventures and start up companies with subsequent revenue realisation of equity stakes through company trade sale or stock exchange listing; and
- generating revenue by selling strategic services to IP owners relating to the management of intellectual property, intellectual capital and innovation.
Our clients include leading national research institutes such as the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), National Information and Communication Technology Australia (NICTA), numerous Australian Universities, Co-operative Research Centres (CRC’s), Venture Capital firms, Companies and individual inventors and entrepreneurs.
Offspring is part of the ipernica group of companies (Australian
Stock Exchange code :IPR) and draws upon ipernica’s expertise
to assist with the Offspring commercialisation programs. ipernica was previously known as QPSX Ltd.
The core business of the ipernica group of companies is extracting
value from intellectual property.
There is widespread recognition that the vast majority of enterprise
value is generated by ‘intellectual’ assets rather
than ‘physical’ assets. Worldwide, companies generate
approximately US $150B in royalties from inventions each year and
this is forecast to grow at 30% per year. The development, protection
and trading of new innovations is a fundamental part of this revolution.
IP ASSERTION:
ipernica manages a portfolio of ‘IP Assertion’ programs,
where ipernica assists companies and research institutions to ensure
that IP rights are protected and that any unauthorised use is prevented
or alternatively, some consideration is paid to the owner.
Many companies go to significant effort and incur substantial
costs to protect their valuable IP. Unfortunately, few companies
have the resources, capability or appetite to assert those IP rights
against unauthorised users or infringers of their IP.
ipernica's management includes lawyers and licensing professionals
with extensive experience in undertaking negotiated or litigated
resolutions of IP disputes in the US, Europe, the UK and Australia.
