For SMEs

A patent capability, without
a patent department

Your product improves every quarter and the improvements ship unprotected, while competitors file around you. IPGuru makes protection a habit your existing team can run.

Improvements ship unprotected

Your product gets better every quarter, and none of it is captured as intellectual property.

crisis_alert

Competitors are filing

Someone has filed patents uncomfortably close to your product line, and you found out late.

reviews

Reviews contain inventions

Your customer complaints and reviews describe next year's product, and nobody mines them.

Counsel is a project, not a habit

Outside counsel is briefed occasionally, at project prices, while the improvement cadence runs weekly.

What you walk away with

Five gated steps, real deliverables at every one

The FORGE method is proprietary to IPGuru: you approve the evidence at every gate, and a weak Grade loops the work back instead of letting it through.

center_focus_strong

Focus

Each improvement, captured fresh

A structured invention record built in conversation with the engineers who made it, while they still remember the details.

visibility

Observe

A patent map around your products

Prior art and competitor filings across 250M+ patents, so you see what is claimed near you and where the open ground is.

Refine

Visualized and drafted

Figures, 3D models and short demonstration videos for internal decisions and customers, plus drafted claims when it is worth filing.

Grade

A scorecard per improvement

Every candidate graded the same way, so management decides on evidence rather than enthusiasm.

Execute

A growing, deliberate portfolio

Filings where they matter, documented trade secrets where they do not, on one shared evidence file.

StoveGuard Fire Suppressor concept render

From the platform

An existing product, made defensible

The StoveGuard Fire Suppressor is the brownfield path: an existing product and a safety complaint, turned into a rendered, examined improvement worth owning.
