A Patent Tells the Story of Innovation

The first figure in a well-crafted patent, FIG. 1, provides the foundation for the story of innovation and equips the reader with an immediate insight into the ideas protected by the patent. With this foundation, the patent can be used to protect the innovation as laws and technologies evolve during the many stages of the patent’s life: from prosecution, to enforcement, to valuation. Our name tells our story. We put patents first by investing in the people, tech, and infrastructure needed to build strategic patent portfolios for companies that change the world.
