Patent support for universities & tech transfer
Turning funded research into protected, licensable intellectual property — in step with your technology transfer office and your researchers.
University innovation moves fast, and disclosures rarely arrive on a tidy schedule. As a USPTO-registered patent agent, Ben works alongside tech transfer offices and faculty inventors to protect research outputs before publication or public disclosure puts rights at risk.
How we help research institutions
- Invention assessment. Reviewing disclosures and prior art to gauge patentability and commercial relevance.
- Provisional filings on a deadline. Locking in early filing dates ahead of conference presentations, publications, and grant milestones.
- Nonprovisional drafting. Specifications and claims that capture the research contribution and read on real embodiments.
- Office action responses. Carrying applications through examination under §101, §102, §103, and §112.
- Commercialization-minded strategy. Shaping filings to support licensing and spin-out goals.
Built for the way tech transfer offices work
We're comfortable coordinating with faculty inventors, working within institutional policies, and keeping your office informed at each step. The goal is durable protection that makes research easier to license and commercialize — without surprises on timeline or scope.
