Who we help
Inventors, startups, research institutions and established businesses – each with different questions about their intellectual property.
We work with people at every stage of the innovation journey. The questions differ, but the goal is the same: make sure good ideas are protected and reach the market.
Inventors
You have an idea or prototype and want to know whether it can be protected, what that would cost and how to approach companies without giving it away.
- An honest view on whether to file, and what it is likely to cost
- How to talk to companies safely, including NDAs
- Options to license your invention rather than build a business around it
Startups and scale-ups
Investors will ask what you own and how it protects your position. We help you build an IP position that supports fundraising and growth.
- IP strategy aligned with your roadmap and funding plan
- Founder and contractor IP assignments put right
- Investor-ready IP register and due diligence preparation
Universities and research institutions
Turning research into impact needs clear processes and good agreements. We support technology transfer teams and researchers alike.
- Invention disclosure and assessment processes
- Licensing, option and collaboration agreement support
- Spin-out planning and commercialisation strategy
Established enterprises
Larger organisations need portfolios that earn their keep, and confidence in the IP behind every deal.
- Portfolio reviews and renewal decisions
- In-licensing and out-licensing programmes
- IP due diligence for acquisitions, investments and partnerships
