Support Your Founders With Strategic IP Guidance

We partner with investors and accelerators to help founders build defensible, investor-ready patent strategies without wasted spend.

The Why: Strategic IP Matters Early

For technology startups, patents can accelerate valuation—or drain time and money if misaligned. Novitas works with early-stage companies to make intentional IP decisions that support product direction and funding milestones.

Patents shouldn’t be a reactive checkbox. We help founders align IP with business goals from day one.

Our Difference

Led by a Former USPTO Examiner

We combine legal precision with examiner-informed insight to:

Reduce Rejection Risk

Especially in complex technologies like AI and software.

Integrate IP Planning

Directly into the startup’s growth strategy and roadmap.

Avoid Mistakes

Prevent common filing errors that undermine due diligence later.

How We Partner With You

Flexible Collaboration Options:

Strategy-led office hours for your portfolio or cohorts
IP readiness workshops tailored to early-stage teams
1:1 advisory or targeted support on critical filings
Referral or co-counsel models with outside firms

We support, not compete. Our role is to enhance the founder’s strategy, not replace legal counsel.

When Founders Work With Us

They’re unsure what or when to patent
Early filings don’t reflect their core value
