The Melling Group International is headquartered in the United States and with offices in England, Germany and Japan. The four Senior Partners of The Melling Group direct the company's efforts in assisting companies, universities, development laboratories or individual inventors to commericialize their inventions. The most frequent road to commericializatrion for the clients' products or technology is that of licensing or otherwise establishing a collaboration to market the product or service with another third company in a targetted country or world region. This process most often requires a technical or market research presentation to the companies identified by The Melling Group as high potential marketers of similar products or within market niches or segments in the target area. To do this frequently means that the owner of the intellectual property will need assistance from experts in the geographical region or country in locating such companies, establishing interest and negotiating a collaborative business relationship and contractual agreement to share future revenues gained from sales of the product or technology. The Melling Group is uniquely qualified to assist in this effort, as all of TMG's principals are internationally experienced with many years of experience in licensing drug, device and diagnostic inventions. Hurdles such as regulations, country or regional customs, language, familiarity with the industry workings and pitfalls, travel routing, building relationships with decision-makers within target companies, planning to meet predetermined budget goals and other aspects of maximizing the value of intellectural properties across borders and cultures are all made easier through our teams in each area of the world health care, particularly pharmaceuticals and health-related devices. For example, about 80 percent of world pharmaceutical sales are concentrated in just 7 countries. Our team has experience and can readily assist clients to achieve their goals in each of these major markets by identifying suitable prospective partners, securing an agreement to collaborate and assting in getting the concept to the market. Our services include market assessment, development of contacts, presentation preparation, securing interest of one or more future partner companies, establishing principles of agreement and assisting in negotiations.
Interested parties can contact the headquarters office or go directily to the other three international offices if this seems more convenient or comfortable. Our goal is to help our clients maximize the worth of their inventions and technologies through win-win agreements with overseas companies who can make the venture timely and profitable for the companies involved.
