IPH provides intellectual property services through its subsidiaries, covering patent filing, prosecution, enforcement, management, design, trademarks, and more. Its diverse client base includes multinationals, public-sector research organizations, and local businesses across various industries such as healthcare, finance, engineering, and technology.
The lengthy life cycle of intellectual property protection and IPH’s lower reliance on litigation work allow it to generate revenue from clients over extended periods, minimizing revenue volatility.
The lack of (1) pricing power, (2) significant barriers to entry, and (3) client contractual terms, alongside the largely transactional nature of IPH’s revenue streams, results in the risk of client defections.
