Acquisition creates expanded value offerings to the IP services industry.
Rouse has announced the acquisition of Konsert Strategy & IP, a management consultancy blending business strategy and Intellectual Property. The acquisition, completed in July 2024, is aligned with Rouse's strategic objective of greater integration and alignment of IP services globally.
Combining Rouse's global integrated IP service model with Konsert's 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.
The move also bridges a crucial market gap by offering C-suite, Board and IP stakeholders a single source for both strategic IP consultancy and IP services execution.
Konsert will remain an independent brand within the Rouse group, preserving its unbiased, high-trust advisory model.
"We are seriously excited to be joined by Jens and his team," said Luke Minford, Chief Executive Officer at Rouse. "They are some of the brightest minds in the IP industry and in Konsert they have a consulting capability that is truly unique, enabling clients to compete and win in critical areas of technology and innovation. This merger is going to result in the exchange of so much critical know-how and insight that I have no doubt of its benefit to our clients and people across the Rouse group."
"This merger with Rouse marks a transformative step for both us and the IP services industry," said Jens Bördin, Co-Founder, Partner and Chief Executive Officer at Konsert Strategy & IP. "By combining our technology-driven competitiveness and management consulting capabilities with Rouse's core services and global reach, we are setting a new standard for integrated IP services. We are super-excited to start working with Luke and our new colleagues at Rouse as we jointly move toward becoming the world's first truly global and integrated IP firm."
