Maximize IP Value

Most companies dramatically undervalue their IP. Not because it isn’t worth more — often it is — but because they haven’t done the work to understand what they actually have, protect it correctly, and position it strategically. A patent sitting in a folder, a trademark that isn’t being policed, a trade secret program that exists on paper but not in practice — these are assets that generate no returns.

The gap between what most companies are getting from their IP and what they could get is significant. Closing it is operational, not abstract.

Turn Ideas Into Strategic Assets

IP generates returns through four channels: competitive moats (making it harder and more expensive for competitors to replicate what you’ve built), licensing revenue (monetizing IP in markets you can’t fully exploit yourself), blocking competitors (preventing competitors from patenting territory adjacent to your technology), and transaction value (acquirers pay premiums for clean, well-constructed IP portfolios).

Most one-off patent applications don’t think strategically about any of these. They protect what the inventor showed the lawyer — and nothing more. A comprehensive IP strategy uses continuation patents, divisionals, and strategic prosecution around competitor products to extend the competitive value of an initial invention. Gary Shuster has used exactly these techniques across hundreds of his 262 patent applications.

What We Offer

The starting point is an honest inventory: what do you actually own, what is it worth, and what is it doing for your business? We conduct IP portfolio assessments that answer those questions and identify the specific next steps — prosecution, licensing, enforcement, trade secret program implementation — that would move the needle.
