Rouse Consulting

Increasingly the competitive advantage of businesses is underpinned by their intellectual assets and innovation rather than their physical assets. Rouse Consultancy aims to utilise a flexible and informal approach to assist businesses to identify, capture, manage and protect their innovations and intangible assets. The bespoke Rouse IP Online Toolkit helps UAE businesses to discover all the different types of intangible assets they have and review the main opportunities (and risks) associated with each of them – www.rouseconsulting.com

Our UAE office acts as hub for the region, providing services across the Middle East and in Northern Africa through our dedicated team of multi-lingual speakers and network of agents.

Advising on IP strategy has been a key offering of Rouse for many years. Building on our deep experience in providing multi-national clients with advice on the full range of intellectual property advice, we have built up a strong reputation internationally, particularly in complex and emerging markets. Rouse Consultancy brings together the strategy experts from across the business under one umbrella to deliver strategic IP consulting services as a discrete proposition.
We help clients to protect and extend their competitive advantage developing processes to help clients find the most effective strategy, tactics and management solutions to their problems. Rouse Consultancy is closely aligned with the downstream IP services needed to ensure that these solutions are properly delivered.
The goal of establishing Rouse Consultancy is to offer a service that is first and foremost focused on the needs of businesses. Rather than providing intellectual property advice in the traditional sense, constrained within a conventional legal framework, we aim to utilise a far more flexible and informal approach to assist our clients to capture and manage innovation and IP. We have the ability to spend time in a business and the skills, borne of seniority and experience, which enable us to ask the right questions and bring the necessary stakeholders together to draw IP into alignment with business strategies and goals. Our structure allows us to be dynamic and responsive to client needs, so capable of delivering bespoke services tailored to the business related issue at hand.
Rouse Consultancy advises:
• Start-ups needing to evidence their technologies and frame their IP story to potential investors;
• SMEs looking for opportunities for technology development and further market expansion without significant IP issues;
• Multi-nationals and Government.
