IP Prospecting
What are we sitting on that nobody has thought to protect — and how do we get it registered?
Most of what a business could own never reaches a lawyer. It sits in a process improved on the shop floor, a dataset, a recipe change, a piece of internal software, a name used in the market for years and never filed. Prospecting is the deliberate hunt: we work through your products, R&D notes and operations with the people who actually do the work, and come back with a shortlist of what is protectable, what is worth protecting, and what is better kept quiet. Then we file it — trademarks, patents, designs and copyright, prepared and prosecuted through to registration. Before anything is filed we agree what is being covered and what is deliberately being left out, so the scope of the application matches the shape of your business rather than a template. Every date that matters afterwards goes into a calendar you keep.
