What working with Stake looks like.
Our 3-step process keeps securing your IP simple and efficient.
Strategy
We start everything here. No matter whether you are hiring us for a specific project or to find out what you need, we'll first take some time to get to know your company and your strategic IP needs. If it looks like Stake might be a fit, we'll provide a proposal for our initial work.
Initial Projects
If you want to move forward with Stake, we'll provide a Statement of Work for our initial work. Once you execute the Statement of Work (which typically requires an accompanying deposit), and we accept it, you'll become a Stake client and we'll get started on the initial work.
Ongoing Support
Any time something is needed on one of your cases or an update to your IP portfolio becomes prudent, we will submit a recommendation to you for approval, complete with what the task is and what it will cost. You can also submit requests to us as you determine work is needed.

Our relationships are built on trust & communication.
