A systematic approach that maximizes value while maintaining confidentiality and protecting your interests throughout the commercialization journey.
Patent or application number, a short background on the inventor or IP owner, LinkedIn, company page, or other public sites, development stage, any test evidence, and confirmation that an upfront-fee engagement is possible.
About 30 minutes to get to know each other: you, the technology, ownership of the IP, the evidence available and your expectations. No commitment on either side.
If both sides see a fit, IPGB shares the scope, deliverables and fee structure (upfront fee plus success fee). Work starts only after a written agreement is signed.
Timeline: 1-2 weeks
The baseline engagement is a close collaboration of at least 3 months, so fit matters on both sides: the technology, my availability and the expectations of both parties.
