Fractional Intellectual Property Management

A full suite of IP services

through one provider

  • Invention Management

    Routine meetings with inventors to identify patentable materials, manage invention disclosures, and interface with legal counsel . We work to optimize key metrics like days to invention disclosure, time in drafting, prosecution analytics, and more.

  • Searches and Landscapes

    Piedmont Innovation handles all your routine searches as part of the service, including patentability, state of the art, freedom-to-operate, and competitive landscapes. Because these are managed in-house, turnaround is days to weeks, not weeks to months.

  • Portfolio Management

    We track your portfolio from invention disclosure through patent maintenance, working to optimize costs according to your commercial strategy. As part of this, we work hand-in-glove with your commercial teams to drive preferred outcomes.

  • Strategy

    We work with you to develop or update your IP strategy, ensuring that it is properly aligned with your commercial strategy. This includes big picture items as well as setting appropriate KPIs for your innovation teams.
