Intellectual Property Management for Sports

It seems like a full-time job to manage an athlete's online assets. There is so much IP to acquire for every one of your firm's athletes.

Avantla can help:

Automatically find web domains, trademarks and other assets that should be acquired, or are being squatted.
Acquire and manage multiple Social Media accounts: Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Flickr.
Keep track of registrars, vendors, contacts, passwords, and accounts.
Keep up with the avalanche of up-and-coming social media site: Orkut, Yahoo360, Xanga, MiGente, etc.

Failure to keep up with the online trends means that your athletes could lose out on valuable product advertising and promotion opportunities.

Avantla goes far beyond competitive products by managing all your athletes' online properties, not just web domains and trademarks.

Avantla tracks everything related to your clients' brand and online presence:

Track Intellectual Property. Athlete's often don't have the time, or the inclination, to acquire domain names, social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc), trademarks, and copyrights. Even if there are no current plans to use the IP, it's important to acquire it to prevent problems with cyber-squatters.
Track Infringement. Archive correspondence related to each brand: DMCA Takedown notices, Cease & Desist orders, UDRP arbitration, and more.
Track Vendors. Track Contact lists, web designers, artists, registrars and more for each web property.
Secure Password Management. Secure "single-sign-on", so you don't ever lose the client's social media passowrds. Avantla can also give web access to your employees and vendors, without disclosing critical passwords (Registrars, etc).
Find Missing Assets. Quickly find available assets such as domain names, social media accounts, and more. Quickly identify squatted assets.
Reports and Auditing. Most importantly, Avantla provides customizable monthly reports and audits so your can prove to your clients that you're actively managing their intellectual property -- and so that you can bill accordingly.
