Patient Care Model and Program - Sale of Assets
BACKGROUND
Upstream's client, a university-based initiative, developed an evidence-based patient care model that was internationally recognized. The client and university sought to transition the program and IP assets to a commercial partner, to meet the needs and demand of the marketplace.
OUR ANALYSIS
Upstream led the IP monetization efforts, which involved the following:
Developing the value proposition and marketing materials for the program's training, education and related services;
Identifying parties with potential strategic interest in assuming the program;
Negotiating with 10+ interested parties, and structuring the final agreement terms.
OUTCOME
The university sold the program and its IP assets within six months of Upstream’s engagement.
