I structure every project around clear phases that link vision to market needs and support product launch.
Phase 1: Preparation
• Market research and product analysis
• Define innovation scope and file provisional disclosures
• Set portfolio strategy, including patents versus trade secrets
Phase 2: Research and Analysis
• Literature and patent landscape review
• Internal and external SWOT assessments
• Identify technical gaps and priority claims
Phase 3: Concept and Drafting
• Sketch and draft provisional patent applications as business tools
• Map key claim elements and data requirements
• Establish trade‑secret controls where needed
Phase 4: Validation and Documentation
• Conduct reduction‑to‑practice: record test plans, data logs and results
• Compile demonstration reports and whitepapers for stakeholders
• Refine claims based on test outcomes and market feedback
Phase 5: Expansion and Delivery
• Extend literature and patent searches to support new opportunities
• Update IP strategy and prototype specifications
• Deliver final technical manuals, filing‑ready applications and launch‑ready documentation
Deliverables include market reports, patent applications and claims analyses, test reports, whitepapers, prototype specifications and IP‑management plans.
