CONSULTING & SERVICES
Reports tell you what is worth doing. Consulting does it.
Where a journey involves legal work — opinions, agreements, enforcement, litigation — that work is performed by DeepLaw LLP, or by your own counsel working collaboratively with Inventiply, under a separate engagement.
Most clients begin with a report. The report shows whether deeper work is justified. If it is, our consulting work organizes and executes it. Clients may choose Modules that activate specific workstreams.
Everything a report can surface — a likely infringer, a valuation range, a proof gap, a broadening path — consulting exists to pursue.
Inventiply reports and consulting engagements are decision-support analysis, not legal advice. Where legal work is required, it is performed by DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel under a separate engagement.
Five journeys cover the work that follows a report.
Each journey is named for what it does. Reports show which journey is warranted; journeys organize the execution.
Invention Broadening & Co-Invention
We co-invent alongside you, expanding a single invention into variants, embodiments, and patent families — a claim space that is harder to design around, more licensable, and more valuable at exit. Led by Gary Shuster, named inventor on more than 262 patents.
Defensibility & Evidence Building
We turn a promising invention into structured, defensible evidence: claim-to-function mapping, a forward-looking read on where the law and the technology are both heading — the same futurist lens we apply to the invention itself (legal conclusions through DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel), and an expansion map that separates what is protectable now from what never will be. We also stress-test claims against the strongest prior art an attacker would choose, and harden the family against invalidity attacks (validity opinions through DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel).
Portfolio Control & Licensing
We build a moat around what you operate and a toll booth on what others will license — continuation ladders, design-around modeling, and licensing architecture that turns adjacent embodiments into non-dilutive revenue.
Exit & Investor Readiness
We start with the exit goal and shape the portfolio to reach it: a diligence-ready packet, an enterprise narrative, and an IP story that survives sophisticated acquirers, private-equity diligence teams, and legal review.
Monetization & Brokering
A report can find who is using your invention, what they owe, and what the asset would fetch. This journey goes and gets it: we broker sales and licenses, run licensing campaigns on the record the reports build, and defend the valuation in live negotiations. This includes naming potential licensees for technology that isn’t patented at all. Demands, agreements, and enforcement run through DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel.
MODULES
The capabilities inside a journey.
Modules are workstreams, not separate products to choose between. We activate them when a report or a journey calls for them.
Broadening & Expansion
Expand a single invention into a family of defensible claims across variants and embodiments.
Innovation Sprints
Intensive co-invention sessions with Gary Shuster to identify protectable novel territory in adjacent areas.
Infringement Detective
Systematic market review to find who is practicing your claims — and what enforcement or licensing would realistically yield.
IP Strategy & Optimization
Portfolio analysis and roadmapping: which rights to pursue, which to let lapse, and which to leverage for revenue or defense.
Investor / Exit Narrative
Shape the IP story for a financing, acquisition, or diligence process — clear, accurate, and built to survive scrutiny.
Teardown and Evidence-of-Use Planning
Technical product-to-claim mapping that builds the foundation for a licensing program or enforcement decision.
Portfolio-to-Product Mapping
Align your patent portfolio to the products, markets, and revenue lines that matter most for defense and licensing.
Invalidity-Resistance Hardening
Stress-test claims against the prior art an attacker would use, then close the gaps — continuations, reframed claims, added embodiments. Validity opinions come through DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel.
Licensing Campaign Execution
Pursue the money owed from unlicensed use: target sequencing, outreach support, and deal management on the record the reports build. Demand letters and enforcement go out through DeepLaw LLP or your counsel.
Valuation & Deal Support
Defend the number where it counts — a negotiation, a diligence process, a board meeting — with the assumptions documented and the proof gaps named.
Reports first. Consulting when the analysis supports it.
Consulting is scoped to the work — hourly, retainer, or flat fee depending on the engagement. If a report tier is all you need, that is a complete product and there is nothing further to buy.
If you want bespoke work, a short conversation scopes it. We do not take every engagement. When the fit is right, we say so clearly. We help you figure out which business strategy makes sense — before you ask your lawyer to confirm and implement it.
Inventiply reports and consulting engagements are decision-support analysis, not legal advice. Where legal work is required, it is performed by DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel under a separate engagement.
Consulting engagements are scoped by conversation.
