Downstream Agentic IP
Downstream Agentic IP: Turn your provisional into a 12-month strategic asset.
An AI-powered, expert-reviewed service that activates your provisional patent from Day 1 through Month 11: market positioning, competitive monitoring, coverage checks, deal targets, and a data-driven filing decision.
A provisional gives you 12 months of patent-pending protection, but most companies do nothing with it. No marketing leverage, no competitive monitoring, no product alignment checks. When the deadline arrives, the decision to file or abandon is made under pressure with incomplete information. Downstream Agentic IP changes that. Six structured tools, each timed to the right moment in your provisional year, are generated by AI that reads your provisional and your website, then reviewed, validated, and delivered by an ipCG consultant. You receive publication-ready documents, not raw AI drafts. To start, we need three things: your filed provisional, your company website, and a 30-minute kickoff call.
Typical Outputs
- Patent Pending web page and press release
- Quarterly competitive and prior art intelligence
- Ranked licensing and acquisition targets
- Data-driven filing decision brief

Why it matters
The provisional year is the cheapest window you will ever have to position an invention, watch the market, and decide what is worth patenting. Used well, it signals innovation to customers and investors from Day 1, catches product changes before they become coverage gaps, gives you three quarters of structured competitive intelligence, lines up licensing and acquisition targets before the deadline, and replaces guesswork at Month 12 with a data-driven filing decision. Every report and template also becomes the starting point for your ongoing IP management.
Core Workstreams
Day 1: a Patent Pending web page with publication-ready copy that establishes your market presence
Week 1: a press release announcing the filing to customers, press, and investors
Months 3, 6, and 9: quarterly prior art and product watch on competitors and new filings
Months 1, 3, 6, and 9: a product alignment tracker that catches feature drift before it becomes a coverage gap
Months 6 to 9: a ranked list of 10 licensing and acquisition prospects
Months 9 to 11: a filing decision brief that brings the whole year's data to your go/no-go decision
