Patent Sense is a business that helps individuals, start ups and larger companies with their Intellectual Property needs. We enable clients to understand IP by providing practical, prompt strategic advice, giving clients a competitive edge.
Know the Intellectual Property you have and your new Intellectual Property when it is created.
Protect your brand + ideas to increase your company’s value and competitive advantage.
Even sometimes keep a few things secret!
If you have an existing portfolio, if you are new to IP, or if you are between the two extremes, we can assist you and your company to evolve and to grow.
