C4C can help you develop a comprehensive IP strategy to support your commercialization efforts and differentiate your business offerings from the competition. C4C can also help you pursue IP protection to facilitate the next phase of the innovation continuum.  

Identify your IP

The first step in developing your IP strategy is to conduct an IP audit and identify the IP associated with a particular service or good. An audit can also help de-risk the use of third-party IP by understanding the terms and conditions around its use for commercial applications.  

Identify your competitor's IP

C4C works with you to navigate the competitive landscape by identifying key players within your direct market. By creating a deeper understanding of the competitive IP landscape, you can identify gaps and opportunities to inform your strategic decision-making and minimize the risk of infringement.   

Position your IP for success

To position your IP for success, C4C works with you to develop a compelling value proposition that will set your business apart from competitors.  

Assistance with IP filings

When it comes to protecting your IP, the process can be intimidating. C4C can assist you with the filing process by coordinating with a patent lawyer. Additionally, C4C can help identify the inventive feature and capture it in a descriptive text that can be beneficial for patent filing.
