European Patent Attorney for chemistry / materials / life sciences startups: (1) smart patent drafting, (2) commercialization support and (3) AI-accelerated technology & IP intelligence.

(1) Patent drafting and related services

Intellectual Property (IP)—primarily patents that protect the unique ideas and technologies of a startup—can represent more than 90% of its total value. Strong IP is one of the most critical factors influencing fundraising and long-term success.

That’s why it is essential to get it right: clearly distinguish your inventions from existing knowledge (prior art) in the relevant technical field and secure granted patents. This is often a challenging process, and I know how to guide you through it.

I bring extensive experience as an industrial researcher, inventor, and technology analyst & consultant across various technical fields, with a focus on chemistry and materials science. I am a certified European Patent Attorney with years of experience at a major company.

See examples of my patent drafting, prosecution, and opposition work:

(2) IP commercialization support

Beyond getting patent protection for own inventions, several other factors are crucial for a startup to successfully commercialize, sell or license its technology. These include:

• Understanding the competitive landscape and the value of own IP (see here example of basic competitive IP portfolio analysis in the field of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) ).
• Adequate presenting company’s strengths to potential investors, sellers, licensors
• Finding creative workaround strategies for third party’s IP
• Identifying new potential market niches and application areas
• Identifying suitable funding opportunities.

(3) AI-accelerated technology & IP intelligence

(4) Beyond

In the section IP for sale / licensing, I offer some patent applications for sale or licensing. If you intend to sell or license your IP, I can help you to find and contact potential buyer / licensor, prepare an appealing technology / IP offer and support in negotiation process.
