Patent Portfolio Strategy for Growing Tech Companies
The patent approach that works at the seed stage stops working once a company has real revenue, real competitors, and a real exit on the horizon. At that point a portfolio works as a portfolio only when every filing is doing something identifiable for the business — and the relevant decisions span what to file, what to let go, how to budget, and how to be ready when an acquirer asks to see the IP.
Lynch LLP works with growing technology companies across software, AI, energy, and consumer products on exactly that: building and pruning portfolios with intent, coordinating foreign filing, freedom-to-operate tied to product and financing milestones, post-grant strategy, and IP diligence for financings and M&A. What the right shape is for a given company depends on its technology, stage, and competitive environment.
