CLIENT PROBLEM
An aspiring entrepreneur came to Patents Integrated with an innovation in a highly litigious sporting goods space. Being a solo inventor, he was concerned about protecting his innovation in an industry known for competitors suing each other in court.
PATENTS INTEGRATED SOLUTION
We were able to identify a benchmark patent, which had just expired and around which all key competitors had been innovating for the past 20 years, thus carving out a niche patent claiming strategy for the client.
RESULT
His company was acquired by another established sporting goods company, and the founder was acqui-hired in the process, resulting in a mutually beneficial exit.
