Drafting Provisional Patent Application

Provisional Patent Application - Strategy and preparation of provisional patent application 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 along with PCT application under international phase. This strategy can protect innovative technology and products across multiple countries.

Patent Strategy for Small Business Owners, Tech Startups and Entrepreneurs

While launching a mobile application or tech product embodying Internet-of-Things (IoT), patent strategy can help in protecting the intellectual property rights associated with such business models. Software aspects combined with hardware features provided to users in a cloud based system architecture can be protected by way of patents, which are filed nationally and internationally using PCT route.

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.

Best Regards,

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.

Patents

Invention

CPG Industry

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.

Startup Consulting

Seed Capital

Equity Funding

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.

Rahul is a detail-oriented manager who watches the fine details of project without losing sight of the macro level strategic objective. While working with him to start and set up IP team , I found him self motivated and willing to walk that extra mile to participate in the success saga of the team.
I wish him all the best for his promising career ahead in future and expect much more to come from him in his professional life.

Rahul is my X colleague at BioXcel Corporation. Throughout his stay in BioXcel corporation he has been very dedicated employee. Rahul is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about. He pays attention to even the minute details of his subject and produces his report in a very articulate and self explanatory manner. Working with him has been a great experience and learning. I wish him all the very best for all his future endeavors!
