Established in the UK in 1990, with a vision to provide high quality IP support and transparency in the complex emerging markets of Asia, Rouse has since expanded geographically and to cover all aspects of the IP services value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The closely integrated business is made up of more than 800 people working from 17 offices in 12 jurisdictions, offering global services in six key areas (trade mark, patent, enforcement, disputes, digital &amp; commercial and consultancy), providing integrated solutions that help their world leading clients to protect and grow their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About aera<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>aera is one of the fastest growing IP firms in the region and adds critical capability in patents, particularly in the high-growth sectors of life sciences and AI software to the Rouse Group. The Danish-based firm also provides a platform for further expansion in Europe having established offices in Sweden, Germany, Spain and Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Konsert Strategy &amp; IP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Konsert Strategy &amp; IP is a Swedish based management consultancy, blending business strategy and Intellectual Property (IP). Combining Rouse\u2019s global integrated IP service model with Konsert\u2019s technology-based competitiveness and management consulting capabilities creates a unique, end-to-end value proposition to clients not yet seen in the IP services market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cThe Investec team have played an instrumental role in Rouse\u2019s recent development, having originally helped us in receiving investment from MML.
