About Us

“When large companies hold intellectual property rights, they are typically managed by a senior IP counsel that runs a dedicated IP operations department. While not every company has an in-house IP counsel, every innovative business will have at least one person whose job description includes managing the company’s IP. This usually includes implementing the company’s patent strategy, meeting deadlines, completing and submitting documents and any other IP management that may need to occur. “

Startups tend to have very little in the way of IP responsibilities, only requiring the filing of a patent application or two. IP management is usually left to outside counsel, but IP management will quickly become a more difficult task.

However, you can always obtain assistance with IP management from dedicated companies such as Levin Consulting Group. We offer a wide range of IP Management Services such as IP Strategy Development, IP Strategic Implementation, Patent Optimization, Patent Drafts, Patent Licensing, and more. If you are looking to file a patent or need professional patent management services, get in contact with us today.
