What Comes With The Check

Not just
a wire. A full
moat strategy.

Four capabilities most seed and Series A cap tables simply don't have, all under one roof, aligned to your outcome - because our returns only land if your IP actually becomes valuable.

Patent
Preparation
& Filing

A working product is not protected IP. The only thing that protects your invention is a filed patent claim. We identify what's patentable from day one, draft claims with strategic breadth, and file before your competitors know what you're building.

Most founders wait until Series A. By then the window for the broadest claims has often narrowed. We file early - sometimes before you've finished building - so the broadest possible claims are preserved.

What We Deliver

IP audit and patentability assessmentReview technology stack and identify novel, non-obvious, useful claims.
US provisional application filingEstablishes your priority date, patent-pending status on record immediately.
PCT international filing strategyMap markets where protection matters, file ahead of your international deadlines.
Continuation and portfolio architectureDesign a patent family that grows with your product, protecting each major feature evolution.

Protection

A competitor registering your product name in a key market isn't hypothetical - it happens constantly to startups that grow fast without protecting their brand. Through Trademarkia - a global IP platform serving 120,000+ clients across 80+ countries - we file, monitor, and enforce your marks in every market that matters.

What We Deliver

Clearance search and risk assessmentBefore launch, verify your name is clear of conflicting marks in priority markets.
Continuous trademark monitoringAutomated monitoring for confusingly similar applications with rapid-response opposition filing.

IP
Enforcement
& Litigation

Most startups with strong patents don't enforce. Not because they don't want to - but because litigation costs $2–5M and takes years. Meanwhile the copycat keeps growing. Our model solves this.

Because we're investors as well as counsel, we can pursue enforcement actions that pure law firms can't justify. Our skin is in the game alongside yours. We don't charge legal fees out of operating capital for enforcement during the investment period - our returns come from outcomes, not hourly rates.

How It Works

1
Monitor and detect infringementContinuously monitor for competitors practicing your patented claims or using your marks.
2
Issue cease & desistA well-crafted C&D from credible IP counsel resolves most situations before litigation.
3
Negotiate licensingStructure licensing arrangements that generate revenue rather than burn capital on litigation.
4
Litigate or pursue ITC actionFor persistent infringement - district court litigation or ITC import exclusion orders.
