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.

At a glance
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.

  1. 01

    Read

    We work through the results, methods, and anomalies rather than the narrative.

  2. 02

    Separate

    We split what is knowledge from what is a repeatable technical effect.

  3. 03

    Structure

    We describe the strongest candidate as a problem, mechanism, and variants.

  4. 04

    Sequence

    We align next steps with your publication and funding dates.

Limits of this work

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.
