The full service model provides all aspects of the well defined
process for packaging and selling an IP + Technology bundle. The
buying process is simply a mirror image.
Package definition,
Potential buyer sourcing and analysis,
Potential buyer contacting,
Making the sale,
Making the deal in detail,
Transferring the technology,
Following up on obligations (royalties, performance).
17. CHOICES FOR HONG KONG
IN IP & TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
1. Form a commercial IP trading hub
(have no control and accept whatever small risky market is present)
2. Create a true IP+TT Trading Centre to
facilitate IP+TT transactions from the
World into China and from China into the
World (which can also do (1)).
(be in control and build the market in co-operation with China and the World)
