IP filings & Portfolio Management

An electric vehicle deep-tech start-up company that has raised multiple rounds of multi-million-dollar funding and grown steadily has entrusted us with the job of strategically guiding and supporting them in navigating the complexities of intellectual property rights. We've built a patent portfolio that sets them apart from the competition and gives them a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market for EVs.

• Client: A fast-growing electric vehicle deep-tech start-up
• Challenge: Validate and showcase their technological strength against their competitors, in order to attract funding.
• Solutions:
  • Visualized and mapped their technical capabilities against their competitors.
  • Identified IP opportunities and built a patent portfolio that gives them a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market for EVs.
• Outcome: Leveraging the patent portfolio, the client was able to raise over $40M USD in Series B financing.

Innovation Management for a Small Enterprise

Our association with a leading manufacturing enterprise involves evaluating the potential of their research outcomes, providing comprehensive due diligence and analysis to identify promising ventures with innovative ideas. We've enabled them to make informed decisions that optimize their innovation potential while minimizing legal risks, thereby empowering them to make informed investment decisions, support sustainable innovation, and foster a thriving research ecosystem within the organization.

• Client: A jewelry manufacturing enterprise entering new product segments globally
• Challenge: Identify the right technological capabilities required to grow in a new geography.
• Solutions:
  • Conduct white space analysis to identify the closest technology area related to "electroforming" that would spur the growth in the new culturally diverse and lucrative market.
• Outcome: The popular sub-technologies were identified, patents were filed, and the enterprise is successfully growing in the UK and the EU.

Corporate Training & Workshops for a deep-tech startup

When a leading medical devices company ventured into new product development and wanted to create internal systems and processes for cultivating a culture of innovation, we provided them with tailored programs, hands-on training and workshops that not only created awareness, but has also resulted in actionable patenting activity in the organization and has accelerated their growth.

• Client: A commercial bio-technology firm specializing in medical devices
• Challenge: To build IP capability in-house
• Solutions:
  • Offered workshops and trainings which created awareness to the company's staff on the IP best practices.
• Outcome: Helped the organization to use patents as a research tool to identify areas to invest resources to improve their technological capability.

IP Scouting & Technology Landscape for a large enterprise

When a prestigious space organization wanted to identify potential collaborators and understand their position in the landscape of a specific technology under Global Navigation Satellite System, we delivered a patent landscape analysis report to classify the sub-technology domains and then identify the right technology owners. This research helped in avoiding pitfalls like duplication of efforts and unprofitable research investments, thereby saving cost for the organization.

• Client: A national space research agency
• Challenge: Identify Potential Collaborators and Their Positions
• Solutions:
  • Revealed the potential academic and industry collaborators through patent analysis which also provided the market position of the organization with respect to the technology.
• Outcome: Helped the organization to narrow-down their focus on the technology area which would offer competitive advantage globally and find the right strategic partners for collaboration.

Technology Landscape & Innovation Management for an Academic Institution

A top management school wanted to venture into the domain of Ed-Tech. Apart from identifying growing trends in the domain that they could adopt, the institution was also interested in understanding industry trends for creating and curating relevant vocational courses that the institution could offer.

• Client: A globally renowned management institution
• Challenge: Offer courses on as-need basis in ed-tech space, apart from their traditional full-time management courses.
• Solutions:
  • Identified several target groups who would need their vocational courses and advised the kind of course offerings that could be offered for all these groups.
• Outcome: Initiated discussions for collaborations, provided workable strategies, and enabled them to establish successful partnership.
