IP & Patent Support

For inventors and small technical teams who need their invention protected as strongly as it deserves.

A six-week, high-stakes intervention for founders building non-trivial work who want consequence, claim, and hierarchy stabilized before scrutiny.

Most patent problems aren't legal problems — they're translation problems. The inventor knows exactly what they built; the disclosure doesn't capture it, or the response to an office action undersells it. That gap is expensive.

What this includes:

• Inventor interviews and invention disclosure drafting
• Patent application drafting support
• Office action response drafting
• Plain-language explanation of what's actually being claimed, and why

Note: registration to practice before the USPTO is in progress. Current engagements are drafting and support work; full independent prosecution will be added as registration completes — clients are told exactly where things stand before any engagement begins.

Best fit: independent inventors, small materials/aerospace/deep-tech companies, and academic labs with real IP and no in-house counsel.

Technical Consulting

For technical teams who need an outside expert who can also communicate.

This is failure analysis, instrumentation, and process work — the same work I do in the lab day to day — available as an outside engagement, plus the ability to translate the results for whoever has to act on them: a customer, an executive team, or an investor.

What this includes:

• Failure analysis and root-cause investigation
• Instrumentation setup and method development
• Process auditing and efficiency review
• Technical reports written for the audience that has to use them — including investor- or board-ready translations of technical results when that's what a project needs

Best fit: small materials, energy, or aerospace companies who need PhD-level technical work without a full-time hire, and technical founders who need their results explained credibly to people who aren't scientists.
