Strategic Planning & Risk Assessment

Based on your business goals and competitive landscape, we develop a customized IP strategy that aligns protection efforts with commercial objectives. This includes freedom-to-operate analysis, competitive intelligence gathering, and risk assessment to ensure your innovations don't infringe on existing rights while maximizing your own protection.
