Everyone’s experience is unique – let us use ours to help your business grow

From idea inception to implementation, and further to protection and enforcement, Innovare IP works with ambitious entrepreneurs, high-growth businesses, investors and universities to guide them through evaluating, articulating and protecting their Intellectual Assets and Intellectual Property Rights.

Our mission combines both the values that inspired us to found Innovare IP (helping innovators and their businesses to make the most of their Intellectual Assets and Intellectual Property Rights) and the values that contribute to sharing and commercial exploitation of knowledge (serving entrepreneurial communities in the UK).

Because we care about Intellectual Assets and IP Rights, our approach is different and unconventional – we offer IP solutions, and not just IP services!

A customer-focused approach

We work closely with our customers and listen to their expectations and the challenges they are facing. We only start working with the customers once we have a clear understanding of how we can best help them meet their expectations and overcome their challenges.

A business-focused approach

Often businesses struggle to get hold of or articulate their value-adding IP data. We work with them to map relevant IP to commercial targets. We guide businesses to demonstrate the value of IP to their stakeholders and teach them how to use ‘storytelling with IP data’ to bring IP Portfolios to life and viable commercial exploitation.

One-stop shop

IP is a wide-ranging subject with many facets. We help clients with their innovation and IP strategy, IP landscaping, IP drafting, filing & registration, monitoring, enforcement, IP clauses in relevant agreements, valuation, auditing, freedom to operate and evaluation.

A worldwide network

Irrespective of our clients’ markets, we can secure relevant IP rights through our extensive network of foreign associates.

A legal tech incubator

We are digitising selected IP services which can be offered in an agile and cost-effective manner to our clients.

Our story

 

As an unconventional and ambitious IP practice, our story began in 2019. After having worked in several countries and industries, and with a passion for entrepreneurship and innovation, our Founder Dr. Claudia M. Duffy , a former Scientist turned European Patent Attorney, decided to work on an idea she envisaged for quite some time - to deliver innovative and pragmatic IP solutions and tools aligned with the needs of high growth businesses and entrepreneurial communities. So, by the time she founded Innovare IP, Dr. Claudia M. Duffy had built a deep understanding of the needs and challenges of high-growth businesses, and decided to integrate seamlessly, acting as a valued extension and trusted member of their management teams.

Having already pivoted twice (in 2019 and 2020), Innovare IP is in the process of mapping its third pivot in 2021 consisting in scaling up the practice by means of developing a Hybrid Model - IP Service Provider (the standard approach adopted by traditional patent and trademark attorney practices) and IP Product Developer  (a novel approach aiming to digitise selected IP services into web-based applications). The vision is for the two complementary business elements to run side by side, with the Product Development element being continuously informed by changes implemented in the delivery of the IP services.
