Patent protection strategy

Not every idea is worth patenting, and not every patent is worth the cost. This service decides what to protect, where and how. We run a patentability search as input, then agree the strategy with you and manage the process from there, working with qualified patent attorneys where filings follow. If you need a detailed search and a written report on what already exists, see Prior art search and reporting.

Who it’s for

  • You have an invention and do not know if it can be patented.
  • You are about to show your product to manufacturers, partners or investors.
  • You want to plan patent costs around your launch markets and timeline.

What you get
