South Africa: Primed for IP outsourcing

IP outsourcing is not new. Very few organisations are large enough to enjoy the benefit of an in-house team managing their intangible assets. It has become the domain of external law firms and increasingly, tech firms containing lawyers. The management, prosecution, enforcement and sometimes development and commercialisation of IP has, consequently, been outsourced for decades. The nature of outsourcing has however, gradually changed and expanded to include outsourcing some or all these services, or parts of them, to different countries.
