IP Strategy & Portfolio Optimization

A portfolio isn’t a moat. A strategy is.

This module maps invention and IP to real business value: product, revenue, competitive dynamics, and risk. Without strategy, companies over-file, under-protect, misallocate budget, and fail due diligence.

What IP Strategy & Optimization Includes

• Portfolio-to-product mapping — what actually protects what. Most companies cannot answer this clearly. Investors notice.
• Patent vs. trade secret decisions — how to avoid protecting the wrong thing the wrong way.
• Defensive strategy — including acquisition logic where appropriate.
• Licensing and sale strategy — that preserves competitive edge.
• Risk concentration analysis — where you’re strong and where you’re brittle.

GDP Maximizer: International Filing Strategy

Filing in just four countries — the US, China, Germany, and Japan — covers more than half the world’s GDP. But a simple “add up the GDP” strategy fails because enforcement and valuation vary dramatically by jurisdiction. We build international filing strategies that maximize coverage per dollar spent.
