Innovation & startups, your questions answered
When should a startup start thinking about IP?
As early as possible, ideally before any public disclosure, pitch or launch. Filing first protects your priority date. Even a short strategy session early on can prevent costly gaps later.
What's the difference between a patent and a trade secret?
A patent gives you a time-limited exclusive right in exchange for publishing how your invention works. A trade secret protects information by keeping it confidential, with no expiry but no protection if it leaks. We help you decide which fits each part of your technology.
Can you help with our R&D agreements and inventor assignments?
Yes. We put the right confidentiality, IP-assignment and ownership terms in place so the rights in work done by founders, employees and contractors clearly belong to your company.
Do you offer fixed fees for early-stage startups?
Yes. We work to transparent, fixed-fee plans so you know the cost upfront, and we'll prioritise the filings that give you the most protection for your stage and budget.
Can you support an incubator or accelerator cohort?
We do. We run IP clinics and reviews for cohorts and provide ongoing support to portfolio companies, get in touch and we'll tailor a programme.
