The IP protection lifecycle

Eight stages, from identifying an asset to strengthening a portfolio.

The usual order rather than a fixed one: not every asset needs every stage. The first three come before anything is filed.

  1. 01

    Identify

    What intellectual property and commercially valuable intangible assets exist?

  2. 02

    Assess

    Which assets are protectable, distinctive, novel or strategically important?

  3. 03

    Strategize

    Which protection mechanism, filing route, jurisdictions and timing are appropriate?

  4. 04

    Protect

    Prepare and file the relevant patent, trademark, design, GI, PVP or other rights.

  5. 05

    Prosecute

    Manage examination, objections, technical issues and prosecution toward registration or grant.

  6. 06

    Maintain

    Track renewals, annuities, deadlines, ownership, legal status and portfolio records.

  7. 07

    Monitor

    Watch markets, registries, competitors and potential unauthorized use.

  8. 08

    Strengthen

    Identify portfolio gaps, new filings, international expansion and commercialization opportunities.
