Frequently asked questions
-
We work with a wide range of climate tech and sustainability-focused startups. If your technology aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve resource efficiency, enhance climate resilience, or contribute to a more sustainable future, it likely aligns with our mission.
-
Schedule a free consultation: We’ll use this call to learn more about your technology and goals.
Engage with us: If there's mutual interest, we'll send you an engagement letter outlining the scope of our services.
Strategic planning: We'll then schedule a strategy call to define the timeline and subject matter for your patent applications.
-
The earlier, the better! Reach out as soon as you have a clear idea of your business model and R&D plans — even if they're still evolving. This allows us to develop a comprehensive patent strategy from the outset, which we can continue adapting as your business and technology mature.
-
We believe in transparency and predictability, which is why we have a flat-fee structure for all projects with deliverables: patent drafting and prosecution (both provisional and non-provisional applications), patent searches, office action responses, and PCT applications. Consultations, strategy sessions, filing fees, drawing fees, and edits are all included in the flat fee.

-
We typically complete provisional patent applications within one month of your invention disclosure. For non-provisional applications, we recommend engaging us at least 8 weeks before your target filing date.
-
If you decide to work with us, we can seamlessly transition your patent portfolio and coordinate the document transfer from your current counsel. We generally don’t co-manage patent portfolios with other firms to minimize liability.
-
One of our biggest priorities is fostering a strong network within the climate tech ecosystem. We connect our clients with relevant accelerators, VCs, and other mission-aligned service providers.
