How We Work
Scale Your Business and Limit Risk
Disrupting a deep-tech industry opens your business to risk. Competitors can copy your product and kill your business before you can scale. Protecting your idea is key. That’s where Stake comes in. We work with your team to build a 5-year IP Playbook, outlining the patents, trademarks, and copyrights you need to protect your ideas — all so you can scale your business and limit risk.
IP Playbook
We’ll work with your team to create a 5-year playbook, complete with timelines and costs.
Implementation
Our team implements the patents, trademarks, and copyrights laid out in your playbook.
Management
We manage, review, and provide recommendations for scaling your IP portfolio.
