Who we help
Same method. Six very different starting points.
What changes is not the process but the first question: whether you are looking for the invention, testing it, writing it down, or checking whether someone else already owns the space.
Students and early-career researchers
01
What you usually have
A dissertation topic, a lab project, or a field you are getting good at.
What you usually need
To find out whether anything you are working on could become an invention, without spending money to find out.
Professors and research groups
02
What you usually have
Results, methods, datasets, prototypes, or an unexpected finding — and a publication date approaching.
What you usually need
A read of the work through an invention lens before disclosure closes options.
Independent inventors
03
What you usually have
A concept, sometimes a working prototype, and a lot of unanswered questions.
What you usually need
Honest evidence about what already exists, and a sequence you can afford.
Startups and founders
04
What you usually have
A product close to launch, investors asking about IP, and limited runway.
What you usually need
Protection where it matters and a clear view of other people's patents in your markets.
R&D and product teams
05
What you usually have
Continuous engineering output and inventions that never get written down.
What you usually need
Landscaping, white-space analysis, and a repeatable way to capture disclosures.
Universities and institutions
06
What you usually have
Many researchers, occasional disclosures, and no consistent triage.
What you usually need
A system for education, disclosure intake, triage, and filing support.

Business owners, creators, and clinicians reach us too — often needing trademark, design, or copyright support rather than a patent. Describe the situation and we will point you at the right route.
