Use Cases
Valigne supports a range of consequential commercial relationships. These six representative use cases illustrate the kinds of situations a guided evaluation can address. Other arrangements, including consulting engagements, white-label agreements, distribution partnerships, and education collaborations, can be evaluated as well.
Licensing
Define what you license, to whom, and under what terms.
Licensing arrangements are among the most common and most complex commercial relationships. The scope of rights, exclusivity, field of use, territory, and ownership of improvements all need to be defined clearly. The same asset can be licensed in many different ways, each with different implications for ownership, revenue, and future flexibility.
Learn moreJoint Ventures
Structure shared ownership with clarity and confidence.
Joint ventures require careful structuring. Ownership splits, governance, intellectual property contributions, and exit strategies all need to be defined before the venture begins. Multiple parties contributing different kinds of value to a shared entity creates questions about control, ownership, and what happens if the relationship changes.
Learn moreStrategic Alliances
Align organizations around shared objectives.
Strategic alliances require deep alignment between organizations with shared goals, coordinated roadmaps, and mutual commitment. From co-marketing to co-development, alliances take many forms, and the scope of collaboration can expand or contract in ways that change the value for each party.
Learn moreTechnology Partnerships
Structure technology collaborations with clear IP boundaries.
Technology partnerships involve integrating platforms, sharing capabilities, and co-developing solutions. Each party needs to know what they own, what they can use, and how the collaboration creates value. When technologies are integrated, the boundaries between what each party owns and can use can become unclear.
Learn moreStrategic Investment and Corporate Development
Evaluate investments that also involve strategic collaboration.
Corporate development opportunities often combine strategic fit, commercial rights, intellectual property, operating dependencies, and long-term organizational commitments. When an investment includes an ongoing commercial partnership, the strategic and commercial questions can be as important as the financial terms.
Learn moreResearch and Institutional Collaborations
Collaborate on research with clear IP and publication rights.
Research collaborations, particularly with universities and research institutions, involve complex IP policies, publication rights, and commercialization terms. Institutional policies, contributor roles, and the distinction between academic and commercial use can create ambiguity about who owns the results and how they can be used.
