IP Strategy & Portfolio Management

What We Do

Most startups treat IP as an afterthought—they file a trademark here, a patent there, and end up with gaps in their portfolio. We take a holistic approach:

• ✓ IP Audit: We review your current assets and identify what's protected, what's not, and what should be.
• ✓ Strategic Planning: We map your tech roadmap to IP protection—what needs to be patented, what needs trademark protection, what needs trade secret status.
• ✓ Portfolio Management: We track deadlines, renewals, and maintenance fees. We handle all USPTO communications.
• ✓ Quarterly Reviews: Every quarter, we review your portfolio, assess new inventions, and adjust your strategy.

Why IP Strategy Matters

Venture investors expect a coherent IP strategy. Acquirers pay premiums for defensible patent portfolios. Competitors reverse-engineer products—but they can't reverse-engineer a well-protected IP position. A strategic approach now prevents costly gaps and enforcement problems later.

What to Expect

We start with a comprehensive audit and strategic session. Then we move into active management: filing new applications as your technology evolves, maintaining existing registrations, and monitoring for potential conflicts. Our quarterly reviews keep your portfolio aligned with your business.
