CASE STUDIES

Examples of our intellectual property law work:

Providentia Augments a Client’s Patent Due Diligence Process With Experienced IP Secondees

Providentia recently assisted a client with a patent due diligence process with a nearly two-year-long backlog of unprocessed requests. Once engaged, Providentia went to work immediately assembling a team of secondees specializing in due diligence. The secondment team, already familiar with due diligence processes, was able to quickly integrate with the client’s existing internal legal counsel, thereby minimizing any delay associated with traditional methods of increasing legal staff. With Providentia’s help, the backlog was cleared within six months. Now, the secondment team continues to accelerate the due diligence process so that new due-diligence requests are processed more quickly than ever – increasing rapport with engineering and other internal clients. Now, the client is able to solicit a greater volume of requests from their engineers and maximize the value of every engineering dollar spent.

Protecting your brand and your brainchild

We have established trademarks for our start up clients, and successfully prosecuted software and medtech patents for tech companies in the US and abroad.
