A second reading of your own results
Research is written to convince reviewers. Inventions are written to define boundaries. The same work often supports both, but the inventive part is rarely the part a paper emphasises. This review reads your work with the second question in mind.
- Who it is for
- Professors and research groups approaching publication
- You provide
- A non-confidential summary of the work and its results
- You receive
- A shortlist of candidate inventive elements from your own work
Who this is for
- Professors and research groups approaching publication
- PhD and Masters researchers with results in hand
- Institutional innovation cells triaging disclosures
What you provide
- A non-confidential summary of the work and its results
- What was surprising, difficult, or better than expected
- Publication, conference, thesis submission, or funding dates already fixed
What you receive
- A shortlist of candidate inventive elements from your own work
- For each: the technical effect and why it may be distinguishable
- Publication-timing risks flagged against your calendar
- A written invention architecture for the strongest candidate
- A recommended search and protection sequence
Process
How this work runs
Each step has an output you can read. If a step changes the answer to "stop here", we tell you at that step rather than at the end.
-
01
Read
We work through the results, methods, and anomalies rather than the narrative.
-
02
Separate
We split what is knowledge from what is a repeatable technical effect.
-
03
Structure
We describe the strongest candidate as a problem, mechanism, and variants.
-
04
Sequence
We align next steps with your publication and funding dates.
Not all research contains a protectable invention, and we will say so when that is the honest answer. Public disclosure before filing can affect rights differently in different countries — bring your dates early.
Often taken next
- Prior-art search — Structured searching of patent and non-patent literature, with the strategy documented.
- Invention disclosure development — Turn a concept or result into a complete, drafting-ready invention disclosure.
- Questions people ask before starting

Describe the situation and we will name the step that answers your question first — even when that step is not one of ours.
