BwiseIP is a consulting company that meets the intellectual property management requirements of R&D start up entities, technology companies, research centres and universities. BwiseIP implements IP management and conducts commercialisation of IP from a business perspective using its combination of technology based, market based and business based management skills. The result is an IP management function that augments the business objectives. BwiseIP focuses on Business Integrated Intellectual Property Management, because this leads to greater scope for return on investment.

BwiseIP specialises in managing the intellectual backbone of the commercialisation process, that is: granted patents, patent applications, inventions, trade secrets, know how; and extracting the optimal value from the IP.

The long term projects for BwiseIP at NSi include establishing IP management infrastructure, managing strategic IP protection and conducting focussed IP mapping/landscaping exercises. Shorter term IP projects include IP evaluations, IP audits, working with NSi to extract value from the IP and managing specific commercialisation projects.
