This client approached us for help in getting the IP Program under control. The moderate size patent portfolio was multiplying by the month with an active Continuation practice spinning-off new applications weekly, at a pace way beyond the organization’s budget and time. We spent 2 months mapping, ordering and tracking the client’s IP activities and expenses and were able to offer a plan: first aid paralegal and IP cost control support, together with IP consulting on-demand, managed through a series of periodic IP decision making conference calls. After an additional 3 months, the CTO was able to calmly return to leading the product development, with not much more than 2 hours a week of investment in IP management, and the IP expenses were been reduced by 20-40% monthly.
