Work with us

Introductory call

Often we hear from leaders that know they’re inventing and solving problems but can’t afford to slow down and capture ideas.

Schedule a quick call with our team to see if a more structured approach to IP capture and development would help you reach your goals, like fundraising, entering a strategic partnership, finding a home for your business, and matching the value of your enterprise assets to the pace of innovation in your organization.

Invention session

You know you have valuable ideas and want to capture them to support your strategy. Next, we invite your team to an invention session to prioritize them, understand their potential market value, identify the key developments to protect, and build a twelve-month IP strategy.

We also share best practices like:

Creating a light touch idea disclosure process for your team
Identifying the key people in your company that can support the IP strategy without it becoming a burden
Reviewing vendor and partner agreements in light of your key technical differentiators and plans

Invention sessions are an energizing way to kick off our work together, and we continue to hold them often with you after key moments like design reviews, to address a desired feature with a protectable invention, or as creative, aligning activities that give engineers a different perspective.

Engage

With important ideas to protect in hand, we engage with senior leadership to finalize the IP strategy, set up key contacts and meeting cadences, and get to work growing your enterprise value.

During our engagement, we continue to focus on our pillars of: best in class patent claims, strategically-aligned portfolio, and internal invention culture, so you can do this without us as you grow. Some of the activities we’ll work on together include:

Regular invention sessions with executives and engineering teams to continue building the ideas list
Align with the C-suite on business goals like future financings, partnerships, customers, enterprise value
Draft detailed invention disclosures in co-working sessions with engineers
Collaborate with our network of world-class subject matter experts to contribute to invention development and commercial value
Conduct prior art searches to discover white space, improve on competing designs, and assess the novelty of captured ideas
Support fundraising and partnerships by conveying value of IP portfolio through materials and in due diligence meetings
