Entrepreneurship

A filing is not an outcome. Most inventors we meet are strong on the technical question and unsupported on every commercial one that follows it — pricing, licensing, manufacturing partners, distribution and the terms on which they give rights away.

The expert network

We maintain a network of practitioners, academics, IP professionals and entrepreneurs who mentor innovators through exactly those questions. Members of the network give time, not money, and are matched to innovators by subject rather than by geography.

Join as a mentor

If you would like to join, write to us with your area of practice, the stage of venture you are most useful to, and how much time you can offer in a year.

The FIRSTIP letter

A monthly note on IP practice, sustainable technology and the work of our chapters. No more than one email a month.
