Our Mission:

Help companies unleash the power of their intellectual property

Innovation Asset Group

 

Founded in 2002, IAG is an award winning intellectual property management software and services company headquartered in the Silicon Forest corridor of Oregon.

IAG was formed at a time when companies were just beginning to realize that patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets are not just legal rights that lawyers care about; they are strategic business assets with a lot of potential value. The world was becoming knowledge-driven, yet there was no real infrastructure to support rapid increases in innovation and IP creation activities.

The early team at IAG - consisting of people with deep backgrounds in IP - saw clearly that systems and tools were needed to help companies actively manage and keep track of their intellectual property. Companies of all shapes and sizes began to adopt IAG's flagship product - Decipher. 

With years of experience working with inventors, Directors of Innovation and R&D, IP administrators & managers, paralegals and in-house counsel, licensing executives and other company leaders, IAG has come to be relied upon not just for its technology but also for the excellence of its services. The company is committed to helping organizations be more successful with their intellectual property.
