Innovation harvesting and workshops
Ideas are born in the minds and hearts of your people. When your company lacks the time to channel these ideas and turn them into protectable assets, I will gladly come to you – for a few hours, a few days or for as long as it takes.
Scope of services
What I do for you
-
Listening on site
Conversations with the people who develop, build and sell your products – in the design office, in the lab, on the shop floor.
-
Identifying assets
What is new, what is valuable, what would a competitor like to copy? Together we bring to light what has gone unnoticed.
-
Business assessment
With management and product management, we clarify which protection is worthwhile – and which is not.
-
Comprehensive protection
Patent, utility model, trade mark, design: combined to fit and implemented swiftly.
-
Workshops for your teams
Your staff learn to recognise inventions in their day-to-day work, to report them clearly and to deal with third-party IP rights.
My assessment
The best inventions are not always found in an invention disclosure.
Sometimes they are hidden in solutions that, seen through the company lens, are taken for granted. Those who recognise such ideas early and protect them – or take steps to keep them confidential – can stay one step ahead of the competition.
