Revenue model

1. IP consultancy fees (professional services): Core revenue from fees charged for obtaining, maintaining, evaluating and defending IP rights (patents, trademarks, designs, copyright) for clients, delivered by certified industrial property consultants. Includes filing, prosecution, opposition and litigation support.
2. IP valuation and technical-legal expert services: Revenue from economic valuations of patents, trademarks and know-how (using income, cost, market and option methods), expert witness opinions, and technical-legal assistance including drafting of assignment, license and confidentiality agreements.
3. Prior-art searches and surveillance (recurring): Revenue from ongoing trademark and patent watch/surveillance services, which by nature are recurring engagements monitoring competitor filings over time.
4. MyIP Software access: Access to the proprietary MyIP Software platform for portfolio management, available via personal credentials provided by the firm; expected to function as a recurring/managed-service add-on for active clients.

Core offering

Brunacci & Partners is an Italian IP consultancy firm specialized in obtaining, maintaining, evaluating and protecting intellectual and industrial property rights. Its core offering consists of professional services across patents (Brevetti), trademarks (Marchi), industrial designs (Design), copyright (Diritti d'Autore), technical-legal assistance (Assistenza Tecnico Legale), and prior-art searches and watch services (Ricerche e Sorveglianze), delivered by certified industrial property consultants. These are complemented by MyIP Software, a proprietary client-facing platform that lets clients centrally view and manage their trademark, patent and design portfolio through an interactive map and detailed list views.

Product overview

Brunacci & Partners is an Italian IP consultancy firm offering a portfolio of professional services rather than a single unified software product. The offering is structured as a set of specialized consultancy practice areas — Brevetti (Patents), Marchi (Trademarks), Design, Diritti d'Autore (Copyright), Assistenza Tecnico Legale (Technical-Legal Assistance), and Ricerche e Sorveglianze (Prior Art Searches and Watch Services) — complemented by MyIP Software, the firm's proprietary client-facing platform for centralized management of registered IP rights. The consultancy services and the MyIP Software platform are tightly integrated: the firm files and registers IP assets through its practice areas, while MyIP Software provides clients with an ongoing dashboard to monitor, visualize on a map, group into families, and export status reports of those same assets. All services are delivered through a national office network including Modena, Milano, Perugia, Trento, Bolzano and the newly opened Padova office.
