NEW (Oct/24): I'm now offering AI services in partnership with my good friend and expert data scientist Brandt Belson. We look forward to helping you with your AI projects.---------------------------------------------------I love tech startups. Since 2007, I've been serving tech startups in the areas of patents and law as a consultant. Prior to that, my work and education experience -- covering math, computer science, law, and patents -- prepared me well for this consulting work. My patent experience includes development, transactions, and litigations; my law experience includes corporate law, tech litigation, licensing IP, and drafting patents. I have worked at seed stage companies, multi-national corporations, and every size in between.The services that I deliver to tech startups -- provisional patenting, patent fencing, technology licensing, and fractional in-house counseling -- emerged from this experience of mine, and serve crucial needs of tech startups. Moreover, as a consultant, I am able to structure my payments as a combination of equity and cash in way that serves my clients optimally given their stage.Below is a brief description of these four services:provisional patenting: for early-stage (seed or series A) startups (hardware, ai, and/or blockchain), we draft and file a provisional patent covering their core invention plus some future aspects of it, in order to own the IP of their inventionpatent fencing: for later-stage (series A or later) startups (hardware, ai, and/or blockchain), we drive a process for identifying, drafting and filing patents that address the 5+-year futures of their markets, in order to protect themselvestechnology licensing: licensing technology to speed up development is core to most every tech startup; we help startups draft and negotiate these important agreementsfractional in-house counseling: we help startups on legal issues of all types that crop up before they can afford the terms offered by big law firms
