Grants
We look for public programs that match the shape of the work, including federal small-business research programs such as SBIR and STTR, and state or industry programs. An application is a separate piece of work. An audit is not an award.
Audits
A clear audit of intellectual property you already have.
We review a company and write down what looks like IP, what may be unused or already promised away, and where a grant, a funding path, or a patent conversation might fit. The findings are a commercial reading, not a legal opinion.
What we review
The scope is agreed before the review starts. It can cover one product or a wider slice of the company. The length follows the amount of material.
- Products and features on the market or in development
- Software, internal tools, and technical processes
- Names, written material, and brand systems
- Research records and know-how
- Contracts that already assign, license, or limit rights
The findings note
You leave with a note in ordinary language:
- Items that look like intellectual property
- Items that may be patent candidates
- Grant and funding programs that appear to fit
- Rights that look unused, unclear, or already given to someone else
- Anything that should go to a lawyer or patent agent before you rely on it
What a review can surface
Grants, funding, and patent candidates
We point at the fit. We do not award money, prepare claims, or file anything.
Funding
Some work fits a grant. Some fits another funding path. We name the ones that appear relevant and the reason they appear relevant. We do not promise capital, and we do not take a tax position.
Patent candidates
We flag inventions that may be worth a patent conversation. A patent agent or patent attorney decides whether something can be patented and prepares any filing. We do not practice before the patent office.
How it moves
Four steps, scope first
-
01
Tell us about the company
What it makes, what it is building, and the question you want answered.
-
02
Agree on the scope
Which products, records, and contracts are in. We do not start from a blank request to “look at everything.”
-
03
Review the work
We read the material against IP, grants, funding, and patent candidates.
-
04
Receive the findings note
You decide the next step: a license conversation, a funding lead, counsel, or nothing further.
Ask what a review would cover.
A few sentences on the company are enough to start.
