IP Consultation
Assist a cleantech startup by providing a consultation to discuss how best to protect their intellectual property.
Referred by:
The team at ChemFinity has created a new material platform for molecularly selective separations with applications in critical mineral recovery and water remediation, building off an existing patented technology that has been licensed from the University of California, Berkeley. They are now seeking a comprehensive consultation, to discuss how best to develop and protect their intellectual property. Importantly, they’d like to discuss whether filing for a patent or protecting this invention as a trade secret is most appropriate at this time. Should they move forward, they would appreciate assistance with the IP protection itself (e.g., filing the patent application or providing guidance on maintaining a trade secret). However, this is a secondary request.
