Our IP consulting services are based on more than 30 years of sensor specific experience and are uniquely focused on sensor technology, products, applications and markets. Although we can help you understand the value of your IP from a sensor engineering point of view and bring unique impact during the early stages of product development, we are not registered patent agents and will coordinate with your existing agent/attorney or recommend a legal partner as appropriate. Our business model does not include IP ownership and our clients retain ownership of any relevant IP we might generate during consultation.
