At every stage.
You bring the award details and your goals. We help make the funding questions, patent decisions, and practical next steps manageable.
WE WALK YOU THROUGH IT
From first conversation
to a plan you can act on.
Review the assistance options
Together, we review your approved TABA arrangement and the agency guidance. We identify questions for your program or contracting contact; the agency determines eligibility and approval.
You leave with: a funding route to confirm.Define the patent work
We discuss the invention’s business purpose, known disclosures, existing filings, and priorities. We propose a bounded scope, deliverables, and fees.
You leave with: a proposed scope and budget.Prepare the next-step materials
Where appropriate, we help prepare a statement of work and provider information for your agency process. You obtain any required approvals before authorized work begins.
You leave with: the information to move forward.Carry out the agreed work
Once the engagement and any required funding approvals are in place, we proceed with the agreed patent work. You review the work and make the decisions with your practitioner.
You leave with: agreed deliverables and a view of what comes next.BEFORE WE SPEAK
A little preparation
makes the conversation useful.
Have your award notice, the relevant solicitation, and any approved TABA scope available. If you already have patent counsel, tell us so that responsibilities can be coordinated.
If a filing deadline or public disclosure is imminent, flag the date when you contact us. A funding review should not delay attention to a patent deadline.
