Patent strategy
Identify the technical advantage worth protecting, assess the commercial purpose of a filing, and prioritize the work within your budget.
PATENT SERVICES
Protect the invention.
Support the business.
A focused patent plan connects your research to the product, licensing opportunity, or commercial relationship you want to build.
BUILD YOUR PLAN
The right work, in the right order.
Prior-art assessment
Investigate relevant existing disclosures and examine how your invention differs. Use the findings to inform your protection strategy; a search cannot guarantee patentability.
Application preparation
Develop the invention disclosure, claims, and specification. Agree on application type, technical scope, drawings, review, and filing responsibilities before work begins.
Office Action support
Review the examiner’s objections and cited references. Develop arguments and amendments with the practical value of the resulting claims in view.
Portfolio planning
Plan subsequent filings, prosecution milestones, and budget decisions as your technology and commercialization goals develop.
Commercialization perspective
Consider how the protection strategy supports partners, licensing discussions, investment diligence, and future product development.
