What we do?
For startups, the following are needed:
(i) An aggressive patent application strategy to block
competitors from using the client’s proprietary technologies or to manage royalties; and (ii) A
defensive patent application strategy to move away from the threats of competitors (e.g.
multinational corporations) with numerous patents in the relevant technology field.
-
Aggressive strategy- Establishment of a portfolio
Rather than having a large-scale patent portfolio strategy that can be expensive, we establish a targeted patent portfolio just to cover as much as possible the company’s core technologies and proceed with and manage the patent application process.
-
Defensive strategy – IP risk management
We offer our strategic opinion to apply for a defensive patent that can cost less than an aggressive strategy but address claims of patent violation coming from a competitor.
Defensive patents include the following(i) Patents for prompt settlement, (ii) Patents for counter-attacks, (iii) Patents for cross-licenses.
-
Linking with IP-related projects
By leveraging government initiatives that sponsor patent expenses (e.g. RIPC initiatives or startup vouchers), companies can receive patent consulting and apply for patents at a minimal cost.
-
Attraction of IP-based investment
Leveraging the patent acquired through optimal strategies, we help attract investment from venture capital funds.
