A PATENT AGENCY FOR INNOVATIVE CLIMATE TECH STARTUPS
Patent support aligned with your mission
Patents shouldn't be a barrier to tackling climate change
Since 2018, the venture capital market has raised over US$260 billion for climate tech. To compete for this limited investment capital, patent representation is a must for any growing climate tech startup. Yet, these services are often prohibitively expensive.
That’s why we launched the Climate Patent Collective. By offering affordable and high-quality patent support, we help you focus on solving the big problems.
We help bring your ambitious ideas to market
We provide comprehensive patent support to help you increase exit valuation, attract additional investment, and protect your technology. Beyond these services, we also leverage our strong network in the climate tech space to support our clients in areas outside of patent law.
