01
Provisional applications
Establishing your priority date quickly while you refine the invention — giving you 12 months before a non-provisional filing is required.
04
Patent analysis
Understanding what you have — and what it's worth — is the foundation of any smart IP strategy. BIPA conducts freedom-to-operate analyses, patentability searches, validity assessments, and competitive landscape reviews to give you an honest picture before you commit resources. We translate technical findings into business language so decisions get made with clarity, not guesswork.
02
Non-provisional applications
Full drafting and prosecution of US utility patents, including office action responses and appeals through the USPTO.
05
Freedom to operate
Launching a product in a crowded market without a freedom-to-operate analysis is a risk most businesses cannot afford. BIPA reviews existing patent landscapes to identify potential obstacles early, giving your team the room to move confidently. When design-arounds or licensing are the smarter path, we tell you that too.
03
International prosecution
PCT applications and national phase entries coordinated across the UK, EU, China, India, Japan, and other key jurisdictions.
06
Portfolio strategy and licensing
A patent portfolio is only as valuable as the strategy behind it. BIPA helps clients build, prune, and monetize IP assets aligned with their actual business goals — whether that means licensing to generate revenue, structuring assignments for an acquisition, or identifying gaps before a competitor does. We work as strategic partners, not just filing agents.
