Patent & IP Strategy • USPTO Registered

Don't just build it. Own it.

Patent and IP strategy for founders and engineering teams — turning your technology into assets that are defensible, fundable, and acquirable. The same Sword, Shield, and Bridge framework we bring to manufacturers, tuned for startups.

Sword — enforce your moat Shield — de-risk before you raise Bridge — the asset investors underwrite

The Framework

Sword, Shield, and Bridge

IP isn't a filing cabinet. It plays three roles in a company's life — and the patents and trade secrets are just the tools.

Sword

Go on offense

Claim the space and keep bigger players out of it.

Offensive filing to stake your claim before incumbents do
Cease-and-desist letters and enforcement strategy
Defense against patent-troll assertions and demand letters
Design-around analysis when you're the one being threatened

You're here when: "A bigger company is shipping our feature."

Shield

De-risk

Clean up the IP before diligence does it for you.

Freedom-to-operate analysis before launch and before you raise
Inventorship and assignment cleanup (the diligence killer)
Trade-secret and invention-capture hygiene
Non-infringement and validity opinions

You're here when: "Diligence is coming and our IP is a mess."

Bridge

Capture value

Build the asset investors and acquirers actually underwrite.

A portfolio that supports your valuation and your story
IP positioning for fundraising and M&A diligence
Licensing and standard-essential (SEP / FRAND) strategy
Continuation strategy that grows with the product

You're here when: "We're raising — or getting acquired."
