TechInsights executives recognized as outstanding IP Strategists

OTTAWA, Ontario, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TechInsights, the preeminent provider of sophisticated intellectual property consulting, technical services and patent brokerage, announced today that two of their senior executives have been named to the IAM Strategy 300 – the World's Leading IP Strategists 2014. The IAM Strategy 300 is a guide to globally renowned creators of IP value, published since 2009 and designed for executives working within IP-owning organizations.

Business challenges such as shortened technology cycles, the demand to monetize IP rights and the pressure to drive business value from the investment in IP mean that an effective IP strategy is crucial to meeting objectives. Developing these strategies requires experience and access to timely and appropriate facts to enable decision making. Successful execution relies on access to the right patent management tools and technical analysis.

"The IAM Strategy 300 identifies individuals who offer top flight services related to the development and implementation of strategies which enable IP owners to maximize the value of their rights portfolios." says Joff Wild, IAM editor. "Many people call themselves IP strategists; far fewer can devise game-changing plans and then deliver on them. Those who can, however, are worth their weight in gold."

Mike McLean, with twenty years of engineering and intellectual property rights management experience, is part of an exclusive group having been recognized in IAM's list of the World's Leading IP Strategists every year since it began. This is the third year in a row for Art Monk who has over 30 years of high-tech product and executive management experience and is a leader in portfolio analytics and brokerage.

"We are thrilled that two of our executives continue to be recognized for their accomplishments and named to the IAM Strategy 300 list." said John Day, TechInsights' Chief Executive. "TechInsights' best practices in IP strategy have been gained from a quarter century of advising and supporting some of the largest patent holders in the world; Art and Mike have a deep understanding of how to leverage patents to meet business objectives and they continue to lead within our industry."
