IP strategy
Align what you protect, and how, with where your business is heading.
An IP strategy connects your inventions, brands and know-how to your commercial goals – so that budget goes on the rights that matter, and nothing important is left exposed.
What this involves
- Workshops with founders, R&D and commercial leads to map your intangible assets
- Identifying what is genuinely novel and where competitors could copy you
- Choosing the right mix of patents, trade marks, designs, copyright and trade secrets
- Prioritising countries and timing against your product and funding roadmap
- Setting a realistic budget for filing, prosecution and renewals
What you receive
- A written IP strategy and prioritised action plan
- An IP register listing every asset, owner and status
- Board-ready summary for investors or directors
Who it is for
Startups preparing to raise funds, growing businesses entering new markets, and research groups deciding what to protect before publishing.
Questions we help answer
- What should we protect first, and what can wait?
- Is patenting worth it, or is secrecy the better option?
- Which countries matter for our business?
