GreyB

Patent searches, validity and drafting of patent applications is absolutely essential for startup companies. In many cases, inventions exist only as ideas and an intellectual claim is the first step in getting a business running.

Patent drafting, prior art and innovation management services show startup companies exactly where and if their ideas can be legally claimed. The advantage of working with a research company like GreyB is that the employees also have an engineering background. This education and work experience brings a different level of understanding to patent validity searches and technical information that is specific to a startups’ industry.

Research and consulting services can do more than prove the validity of an idea and help file patent claims paperwork. Conducting an extensive mapping campaign can show the startup company exactly how their idea fits into the marketplace. This information can then be used in many areas, including the development of a business plan, courting potential investors and finding product licensing opportunities.

GreyB works in a variety of patent markets such as the United States, Europe, India, China and other emerging technology markets. Our knowledge of different areas can help even if startup research is limited to one geographic area. For example, a startup company in Israel may only want information related to its country, but our team also reports pertinent information drawn from US patent databases.

Many startup companies often do not have the required resources to perform a thorough patent search, patent validity or prior art campaign. At GreyB, we pride ourselves on delivering full-scale research and analytics that are world-class and competitively priced. GreyB understands that startups are sensitive to hidden and escalating costs related to patent work and are therefore frequently more involved in the process.
