Innovation Sprints & Invention Mining

Your inventions are hiding in roadmaps, architecture decisions, workflow shortcuts, and performance optimizations. Your team invented solutions without realizing they were patentable.

Innovation Sprints harvest and structure them. But we go further than typical invention mining firms. We surface what exists, score it for value and defensibility, route it toward protection decisions, and produce drafting-ready outputs.

How Innovation Sprints Work

We install a repeatable pipeline: harvest ideas, triage for highest ROI, convert to IP. We show you how to surface latent inventions, score them, route them toward the right protection method (patents, copyrights, trade secrets), and produce structured disclosures.

What Makes Our Approach Different

Typical invention miners search for what exists within the team’s stated domain. But innovation doesn’t respect silos. A breakthrough in one area can have utility in entirely unrelated fields.

Gary Shuster on Confirmation Bias: “If I invent a substance that keeps helium from escaping through balloon walls, I’m going to look for balloon-like infringers. But the claim reads: ‘A composite substance capable of slowing the flow of small atoms or molecules.’ A non-inventor thinks: Where else do people need to limit the escape of small atoms? Medical uses. Rocket seals. Wearables. We break that confirmation bias systematically.”
