Colin has an outstanding track record for generating substantial revenues from Intellectual Property enabling ClearViewIP to create tangible value for our clients.

Working with clients to help them identify value in their technology and IP is one of Colin’s favourite activities. It enables him to use his experience of Technology Transfer and patent litigation to accurately assess how the value can be realised. With early stage technologies this will involve all the strands of market assessment and product development whereas more mature IP can often be traded for immediate value. Having identified the value, he has a flexible approach for working with clients; from doing it all for them, to training and coaching their own staff to achieve success in this difficult field.

Before joining ClearViewIP, Colin was Senior VP Technology Commercialisation at BTG where he led the Physical Sciences team. Recognised for his team management skills and patent expertise, he was responsible for revenues of $100m from 2005 to 2007, realised through either licensing, litigating or selling patents in the US and Japan. Colin’s experience spans all stages of the licensing process including settlement of litigations.

Colin is a Chartered Engineer and has a BSc. in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College, London. He regularly presents on Licensing for a range of organisations including Falconbury, Kaplan Hawksmere, IEEPI (France), Licensing Executive Society and Praxis.
