Vision & Strengths
We do not stop at the certificate. We work so the right can actually be used.
How we work
Intellectual property earns its keep not on the day the certificate arrives, but when the right blocks a competing product, supports a funding round, or wins a dispute. We draft claims with that use in mind from the outset.
So the first consultation is not only about the technology. We ask what product ships and when, who the competitors are, and whether you plan to go abroad. The same invention calls for a different filing strategy depending on those answers.
Because prosecution and litigation sit in the same firm, the person who made the call at the filing stage is still the person handling it if a dispute follows.
