Whom We Serve

SotoIP demystifies the patent process for innovators, and partners with clients to identify and protect strategic IP opportunities.

Solo Entrepreneur/ Pre-Seed Startups

Read

First and foremost, we validate whether a founder’s innovation is patentable then ensure an understanding of the patent process. Patentability often leads to the filing of a Provisional Patent Application at this stage as it gives early founders a one-year lead time to further develop their innovation and/or pivot. Upon conversion to a Non-Provisional Patent Application, we then assist in developing a client’s IP strategy to guide their future patent portfolio growth.

Scaling Growth Companies

Read

At this stage, we become clients’ outsourced IP partner, holding quarterly discovery sessions to mine and capture new innovations and manage the growth of a strategic Patent Portfolio. A strong Patent Portfolio not only helps to increase the overall valuation of a company, but often becomes an acquisition magnet as well.
