Years of IP innovation leadership
Our IP strategy consulting methodology is anchored in a proven process refined over 2,000+ client engagements.
Not sure where your IP stands? Surface the issues that drive every decision.
Blind spots in your market? Our IP landscape analysis maps patent positions and reveals competitive whitespace.
IP disconnected from business goals? Align strategy, tactics, and workflows.
Inventions going undocumented? Surface and capture them before they slip away.
Need to fill portfolio gaps? Generate novel IP through guided workshops.
Weak documentation exposing your IP? Draft disclosures and trade secret programs.
Unsure what your patents are worth? Our patent valuation methodology delivers rigorous, defensible results.
IP sitting idle? Our IP monetization services turn patents into licensing revenue and strategic leverage.
Most companies treat IP as an afterthought. As a leading IP consultancy, we spent 25 years building a methodology that ties every patent, trade secret, and licensing decision directly to business strategy. From IP portfolio assessment through monetization, your portfolio drives revenue instead of collecting dust.
Every engagement is driven by rigorous data analysis—but our team also holds thousands of patents. We don’t just study innovation, we practice it. That combination is the difference between a report and a breakthrough.
Other IP consulting firms handle one piece. We cover the entire IP management consulting lifecycle from landscape analysis through invention, protection, valuation, and patent monetization.
Every engagement produces tangible deliverables—invention disclosures, landscape maps, valuation models, and strategic recommendations. Not slide decks and theory.
We don’t practice law and we don’t compete with your patent counsel. We make their job easier by delivering the highest-quality invention documentation and strategic context they’ve ever received.
Our practice is technology agnostic. Over 25 years, ipCG has delivered IP strategy across virtually every technology vertical. Our cross-industry pattern recognition gives clients insights that single-sector specialists simply can't provide.
From early-stage startups defining their first IP strategy to Fortune 500 enterprises managing portfolios of thousands of patents.
Free tools and thought leadership to begin optimizing your IP strategy before the first conversation.
ipCG builds and operates proprietary agentic AI systems designed by our own staff. Client data never enters any platform that trains on your information. AI amplifies our experts—it does not replace them. We built these tools because nothing off the shelf meets our security or capability standards, and we strongly advise clients against putting confidential IP into publicly accessible AI systems. When it matters, we prefer direct conversation over AI-intermediated communication.
