Direct to Consumer Product Marketing
This
was a classic case of the American Dream starting off with a
shoe-string budget, a bright idea, and a lot of sweat and clever
execution to make it happen. We initially provided a cost effective, yet
very high quality patent application that enabled him to initially
protect his pet care product idea (a gentile/safe grinding pet nail
trimmer) with enough left over for effective product development and
marketing. Along with our intense guidance and consultations, the
product became a blockbuster
known across the world, yet despite our marketing success, the USPTO
rejected all his patent claims, and after months of back-and-forth
prosecution, it looked like an impossible dead-end. A
large predatory marketing company began knocking off his winning
product, however, with no awarded patent, he could do nothing about it.
With millions of dollars at stake, we were charged to redouble our
efforts and win the patent at all costs within two months. Then, we
conjured very creative and clever claims and a sophisticated legal
argument strategy, which coupled with a very intense (and tactful)
direct negotiations with the Examiner ultimately, and very quickly,
resulted in winning the patent. The inventor made millions and the
product has revolutionized the pet nail trimming industry. An even
larger global marketing company ended up buying out the patent and his
company, and the rest is marketing history....

Funding/Deal
Broker
A serial inventor and avid entrepreneur invents many
innovative ideas, yet only has enough resources to bring one to market.
After we won patent protection he could not find commercial interest
and gave up on it. He decided to focus on his efforts the other
innovations. Based on our intuition, we believed this product could
have a significant market and be highly lucrative to the right kind of
product launching firm. So, we took the initiative to ask for review
by the right type of marketing firm in our network. This
particular firm was unique in that it has high risk money and an
in-house product design and marketing team to bring products to directly
market very quickly, with high impact and results. They were very
interested after we articulated the potential; however, the structure of
the deal was in question especially since the inventor wanted much
greater control, participation, and compensation than the firm was
initially willing to offer. Based on building a basis of mutual
trust along with skilled, highly nuanced negotiations, we were able to
strike a lucrative deal that made both sides very happy. The
product was successfully redesigned and re-purposed for a more optimal
market.

Infringement Defense
Fortune 500
companies constantly
launch new products and implement new technologies, which not only need
protection, yet, almost more importantly, must not result in patent
infringement- that can be a product/service roll-out "show stopper". For
some of the largest corporations in America, we helped them avoid very
costly infringement lawsuit. |

High-Tech Start-up
A Hi-Tech Start-up
in
the fab-less semiconductor chip space must file many
patents on limited budget to support venture funding. They received
very limited Series A funding, which was just enough to cover their
burn-rate on opening four offices, R&D, and product launch, yet very
little was available for patent portfolio protection of their IP.
However, as a prerequisite to the Venture Partner (i.e., the critical
Series B funding), their survival depended on first achieving broad
patent protection of their IP. When first tasked to provide a
solution to their difficult situation we performed an IP portfolio
assessment and triaged their IP into various categories of priority and
quality requirements relative to business and Venture Capital (VC)
goals. Once this IP assessment was completed we then applied our
proprietary "right-sizing" approach to most effectively allocate
resources to optimally align their real-world patent/product protection
needs with their limited budget, thereby striking the optimal balance
between contradicting requirements of a broad patent portfolio with
strong core IP protection on a limited fiscal budget. As a result,
they were able to achieve nine patent application filings that later
were won as full patents, which was enough to get life saving Series B
VC funding. In our experience, this successful approach is very
effective for most hi-tech start-up situations.
