PATANSWER
IPR Services Made in Germany
OUR VISION
DESKTOP INNOVATION
Today, many successful innovators work in large corporations that back huge research and development investments. Tomorrow, innovators will increasingly work in small entities with little capital. Strategic use of patents will reduce innovators' dependence.
GLOBAL IPR MARKETPLACE
Today, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights are assets notoriously difficult to trade. Tomorrow, a global market place, transparency and low transaction costs will bring many more participants to the market and substantially increase liquidity of these assets.
OUR MISSION
LEAN INNOVATION
Directing innovators' efforts to success, ideally, needing no more than a desktop while leaving big investment to legacy "dinosaur companies" that seem anyhow doomed.
PROFITABLE PATENTING
Strategic patenting. These days, the dinosaur companies invest a lot of money in patent protection that eventually goes to waste. This need not be. We provide strategic counsel aiming to maximize the return on your investment in patents.
MANAGEMENT BY MARKET
Clever patent portfolio management: Dinosaur companies invest heavily in finding out about the value of their patents - and typically get it all wrong! We assist in finding the true value of your patent in the market.
