It's not about filing paperwork, it's about knowing what to protect, how, and when.

IP Strategy
Why IP strategy?
The strategic IP approach looks at all of an organization's potential intellectual assets, and uses every possible IP tool, legal and procedural, formal and informal. Filing patents, trademarks, and copyrights should just be one basic tactic in your total strategy. I help you create and implement an effective long-term management strategy, including uncovering assets you may not even know you have.
Why? Because it makes it easier for you to accelerate, expand, and monetize your business development (while reducing legal fees). A better IP strategy can strengthen market positions, increase valuation, assist with funding and VC, energize deal making and strategic partnerships, and even improve hiring, marketing and sales. It benefits early stage startups as much as small, medium and Fortune 100 enterprises, as well as those who finance them, such as VC's and private equity.
The ROI on IP strategy is outstanding, because it leverages a company's most critical assets in the global economy of the 21st century: ideas and creativity.
