POTENTIAL SPIN-OUT
PatentVest, Inc.
CO-FOUNDED: 2003
PatentVest is the first technology commercialization intelligence platform to assist technologists, advisors, venture capitalists, and established companies to optimize technology commercialization.
Our process, which we have named “innovation in a box,” feeds from our proprietary patent database and turns inventions and intellectual property from a complex legal process into a manageable, measurable, business process. Our process clearly defines the boundaries of an invention by providing context on previously developed ideas and analyzing how the invention, and therefore patent claims, differs from the discovered prior art to rationalize the essential distinctions that are the key drivers of value.
Understanding these boundaries, and how protectable and valuable they are, is essential to better guide strategic business and patentability decisions. In our experience, this process answers the most important questions for a technology platform; how we innovate, how do we improve our ideas, and how do we deploy these ideas where they matter most.
