Patents
Protect your investment in your products. A United States patent gives you 20 years of exclusive right to commercially benefit from your invention. Without a patent, anyone who wants to copy and exploit your idea can do so, without consequence. FSP can help secure patents on your inventions anywhere in the world.
Trademarks
Protect your investment in your brands. A United States trademark gives you the exclusive right to identify your products or services in a certain way. Without a trademark, others may exploit your good name by using it with their own products or services in certain cases, leading to lost business or damage to your reputation. FSP can help you get trademarks on your brands anywhere in the world.
Enforcement
 FSP can verify patent infringement by complex products, such as consumer electronics, networked devices, and software. Together with our network of technical experts we can analyze devices that are beyond the capabilities of other firms and for lower cost.
Engineering and Manufacturing
Take your idea from concept to prototype, to finished lots. Our strategic partners can assist you with engineering, prototyping, and low-cost manufacturing solutions. We are not an invention marketing firm. We can help design, build, and patent your product ideas, but we do not provide product sales, advertising, or marketing services.
Patent Sales & Licensing
Our sales and licensing associates in Seattle have secured millions in royalty payments on clientís patents. They can help turn your granted patents into revenue (goodwill monetization) through patent auctions and royalty-bearing licenses.
Venture Funding
We offer introductions and advice to selected clients seeking venture funding.
