IPEG Consultancy (Intellectual Property Expert Group)

What IPEG Consultancy (Intellectual Property Expert Group) does

IPEG Consultancy (Intellectual Property Expert Group) is a privately held intellectual property consultancy established in 1994 and headquartered in Europe, delivering expert IP advisory and expert witness services across patent litigation, IP management, IP risk management, IP valuation, IP transactions, trade secret management, IP strategy, and digital identity and access control. The firm operates through a curated network of senior technical experts spanning physics/electronics, wireless communications, biology/pharmacology, embedded systems, consumer electronics, and communications protocols — including named specialists Dr. Tim Moulsley, Prof. Bruno Clerckx, Dr. Holger Klapproth, and Prof. Dragan Kukolj — with Managing Partner Severin de Wit overseeing publications and thought leadership.

The firm's core offering is bespoke professional services: technical expert opinions for patent infringement, invalidity, claim construction, and damages matters, alongside strategic IP consulting for established enterprises, startups/scale-ups, and legal counsel in litigation. IPEG does not operate a proprietary technology platform; the single software artifact disclosed is a trade secret asset management tool developed by consultant Donal O'Connell. Delivery capacity is augmented through a formalized 2022 partnership with RT-RK's Patent Core Team (University of Novi Sad, Serbia), which provides 300 engineers for patent portfolio technical analysis, management, and claim-chart generation.

The business model is sales-led, direct-engagement, quote-based professional services with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue derives from IP consulting and expert witness engagements, with named anchor relationships including Coller Capital (long-term monetization of 250+ consumer electronics patent families) and RT-RK. Marketing is primarily organic — an active insights/blog, academic publications (e.g., World Patent Information), book reviews, and a LinkedIn company page — positioning IPEG as a thought leader in European and cross-jurisdictional IP matters, including emerging areas such as AI and patents, AI-generated prior art, and patents as geopolitical instruments.
