Drafting Provisional and Non Provisional Patent Applications

Provisional Patent and Non Provisional Patent Applications - Strategy and preparation of patent applications to secure a priority date. Assistance in filing provisional patent application in required jurisdiction by connecting with patent attorney authorised to practice in such jurisdiction.

Provisional patent application allows usage of “Patent Pending”, which can be converted to non-provisional (complete) patent application with strong patent claims along with PCT application under international phase.

This strategy can protect innovative technology and products across multiple countries.

Digital Content Strategy for Niche Topics

Based on my extensive research and writing experience, I work closely with clients to develop digital content strategy and digital marketing strategy for niche topics, including software, blockchain, consumer apps, fintech, gaming, data analytics, metaverse, virtual reality, augmented reality, life sciences, biotech, cryptocurrency, data security and data privacy.

I conduct thorough research using technical literature, research publications and patents to prepare high quality digital content work products, including, web copy, professionally written articles, press releases and blog posts.

Product Clearance | Freedom to Operate Search (FTO Search)

I conduct freedom to operate search for product clearance to review the patents in a specific geography. This review of patents covers the active patents that can create obstacles during the launch of new products. Companies interested in new product launches opt for conducting FTO patent searches to avoid a scenario of potential patent infringement. The main difference between an FTO search and other patent searches is that the FTO analysis is aimed at a particular geography or jurisdiction. This is so because patent rights are territorial in nature and accordingly, companies opt for multiple freedom to operate searches depending on the various countries where new products are to be launched.

Utility Token Legal Opinion Letters

I prepare legal opinions on utility tokens for blockchain technology companies to be submitted at international cryptocurrency exchanges.

With expertise in blockchain technology, I prepare legal opinion to determine if tokens qualify as utility tokens. Legal opinion is an extensively drafted consultation on the activity or specific queries of a client. The document is needed to review and assess an undertaking from a legal standpoint.

The legal opinion report for blockchain utility tokens is prepared after considering various aspects, like, identifying the legal framework of a token, selecting a suitable jurisdiction, and resolving the hassles of taxation. Additionally, the opinion must gather some important documents including Token Sale Agreements, Terms of Conditions of the ICO, Privacy Policy, and Anti-Money Laundering Policy (AML). The AML policy lays down the activity of the undertaking and focuses on countering money laundering and terrorist financing.

Writing Technical Whitepaper Document

I regularly write blockchain legal opinion letters and comprehensive white paper documents as per global standards.

From the perspective of blockchain and global business community members, a business white paper is the most important document that a team can present to its potential stakeholders. Technical content sections of blockchain or cryptocurrency white paper document need thorough business research writing skills.

This is true for any business that either uses blockchain to launch its own cryptocurrency tokens, or uses any other technology (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science etc.) to propose a next-generation business model. A lot of discussion is happening around Web 3.0, which is proposed as the future of internet wherein users operate on a decentralized architecture without a central giant like Facebook to control the majority of operations.

The Web 3.0 is aimed at providing users with an intelligent internet that is capable of human like conversations, and cryptocurrency along with blockchain is bound to play a crucial role in near future.

Accordingly, as a technical blockchain cryptocurrency white paper writer, I provide white paper writing services to ensure that all the technical aspects of advanced business models using blockchain or crypto tokens are covered properly.

Should tech start ups with a sole owner/founder/inventor (patent pending) filing an LLC License or Assign patent rights into the newly formed LLC?

As a general practice, it is advisable to license the patent rights instead of assigning the complete patent. This way, you will have control over the invention (technology) and in case anything does not go the way it was expected to go with investors, you will retain the patent rights and corresponding license rights can be revoked.

Obviously, such licensing will require a suitable patent licensing agreement, including provisions related to scope, term, royalty, and the like.

In case you wish to discuss this further, feel free to get in touch.

Patent Strategy

Rahul Dev answered

I have an idea for a simple household kitchen product (under $5). Where can I get good advice on the process of bringing it to market?

Given the broad nature of question, I would suggest talking directly to consumers and see their reaction towards such product. It may require some modifications based on consumer's feedback.

Once you zero in on what is exactly required, you can talk to industry experts with regards to launching the MVP and an IP Lawyer to protect corresponding rights.

Hope this helps.

Rahul Dev answered

How does one raise funds for a business subsidiary without selling ownership of the "brand" identity?

In addition to valuable suggestions made by Tom, you can also consider protecting various brands by way of trademarks and create a strong trademark portfolio. Once done, you can easily exclude trademark ownership rights from investment, and include licensing or assignment as and when required, along with appropriate terms and conditions.

Hope this helps.

Rahul Dev answered

My friend and I started a new business to patent and license a new piece of equipment. What kinds of pitfalls should we avoid?

Both the founders should have clarity with regards to ownership of the technology, product, corresponding IP (patents, trademarks) and terms of licensing.

One way is to assign all rights to the company, file all patents, trademarks on behalf of the company, and the execute licensing agreement as a legal entity (company) and not individually.

With a view to safeguard interest of each co-founder, you can also execute co-founders agreement among yourselves that will define all terms of collaboration, and what will happen in case one founder decides to exit midway.

Hope this is helpful. For further advice, feel free to get in touch.
