We help technology companies develop patent portfolios that increase the value of their business
Creating barriers-to-entry with a minimal number of patents that protect & defend your value proposition
Creating barriers-to-entry with a minimal number of patents that protect & defend your value proposition
Most technology companies create patents that protect their technology and not their business. These patents give a false sense of security while leaving the opportunity space open to competitors. The solution is to create patents that support the business strategy and increase the value of a business. Taking this approach to creating a patent portfolio can facilitate new business opportunities.
Furthermore, by extending your development team with seasoned inventors you’ve broadened your scope and ability to reach new technologies and vertical markets. Our unique process enables your business to quickly and effectively create a strong wall of protection using patents that are centered around your Value Proposition.
This tactical move frees up your team to focus on accomplishing your business goals while we design and execute a strategy to protect and increase your value.

Creating a strategic, business-centric patent portfolio protects and can even increase the value of a business. We help you do this by developing a patent portfolio that creates a wall of protection against your potential competitors while minimizing the number of patents required to accomplish this target.
