Building an IP Portfolio from Scratch
The Challenge
AI Solutions, a seed-stage startup, needed to build a comprehensive IP portfolio to attract Series B investors. They had innovative AI algorithms but no patent protection. Investors specifically requested IP documentation as a funding prerequisite.
Our Solution
We developed a strategic IP roadmap covering their core AI technology, filed provisional patents immediately to secure priority dates, and created a multi-year filing strategy. We also advised on trade secret protection for certain algorithms and helped establish IP policies for employee inventions.
The Results
Within 9 months, AI Solutions had 8 patent applications filed, 3 granted patents, and robust trade secret procedures. This IP foundation was instrumental in securing a $30M Series B round, with investors citing the IP portfolio as a key value driver.
"As a startup, we needed IP counsel who understood both the legal and business sides. Dynamic Nexus delivered beyond expectations. They built our entire IP portfolio from scratch and it became key to our Series B funding success."
