Our Approach
A revolutionary approach to patent strategy and portfolio architecture
MPP takes a fundamentally different approach to patent strategy, focusing on architectural design rather than just patent drafting.
Traditional patent law firms excel at drafting individual patents but often lack the strategic vision to build a cohesive, valuable patent portfolio. We this gap by functioning as your patent portfolio architect.
Traditional Patent Firms
- Focus on individual patents
- Reactive approach to protection
- Limited business strategy alignment
- Measure success by patent count
- Often produce low-quality patents
MPP Approach
- Holistic portfolio architecture
- Proactive strategic planning
- Business-aligned protection strategy
- Measure success by portfolio value
- Ensure high-quality, enforceable patents
Our 6-Step Strategy Process
Deep Tech Dive
- Mapping of technology at the fundamental and potential use levels
- Identification of technical challenges and future inventions
- Prediction of potential future applications for technology
- Current patent quality assessment
Calculate Levels of Protection
MPP calculates the number of inventions/patents you need based on:
- Technology lifecycle in market
- Competitors' patenting proficiency and aggressiveness
- Level of potential disruption / magnitude of innovation
- Desired/attainable level of control based on budget and business goals
Calculate Patent Value / Level
Patent value = market size × market impact × how well patent protected
Internal
- Mapping of technology at the fundamental and potential use levels
- Identification of technical challenges and future inventions
- Prediction of potential future applications for technology
- Current patent quality assessment
Market
- Technology lifecycle in market
- Competitors' patenting proficiency and aggressiveness
- Level of potential disruption / magnitude of innovation
- Desired/attainable level of control based on budget and business goals
Create Patent Portfolio Plan
- 5 – 7 year plan
- Domestic and international
- New patent filings (timing & location)
- Patent prosecution
- Patent issuance
- Patent maintenance
Result: patenting activity is weighted for maximum ROI
Track Execution
- Track patents by tech categories
- Find gaps by comparing actual patenting with optimal patenting
- Drive near-term patenting based on competition and plan
- Monitor competitors
Periodically Update Plan
Keep current with changes in:
- Technological developments
- Product evolutions
- Market shifts and adaptations
- Evolving competitor landscapes
