Intellectual Property Consulting

IP has become a critical dimension of value in the network economy. Technology has made copying and duplication easier than ever; trade secrets, trademarks and especially patents give companies much-needed protection for their innovations.

We address IP several ways.

Technology Expertise Services

Socratech is currently providing technical expertise for a major patent litigation suit. Details are of course confidential, but our services have included prior art research, claim chart analysis, expert witness reports, rebuttal reports and frequent counseling and training to our clients.

The competence most frequently noted is our ability to convey complex technology concepts - frequently in visual form. Our study of quantitative visuals, as well as animation and visual design, are brought to bear to help our clients gain a deeper conceptual grasp.

Business IP Portfolio

Are you protecting your key ideas? An imbalanced IP portfolio makes no more sense than a day-trader's financial plan. Making effective use of patents (provisional, utility & design patents), trademarks and trade secrets is critical for growth businesses.

We're not patent or trademark attorneys. We bring a pragmatic, experienced business value framework to IP portfolio review. (With 9 US Patents & multiple granted trademarks to our credit, we think we've learned a bit about the process).
