Smart Intellectual Property Services, Tailored to Your Business
At Grassi IP, we offer comprehensive intellectual property services designed to support your business through every stage of innovation. From initial idea to international protection, our services are built on scientific precision, legal excellence, and commercial insight.
Each service is flexible, modular, and can be delivered independently or as part of an integrated IP strategy. Whether you’re an early-stage founder, a scaling SME, or a law firm requiring technical expertise, we tailor every engagement to meet your specific goals.
Business-Oriented IP Strategy
Transforming Innovation into Competitive Advantage
Effective intellectual property begins with strategy. We help clients identify how IP can protect not only their technologies, but also their market position, investor appeal, and long-term value.
Our approach begins with understanding your technology pipeline, market landscape, and business objectives. We then design an IP roadmap that reflects both your commercial trajectory and your budget constraints. This service is particularly well-suited for startups, R&D-heavy SMEs, and early-stage ventures seeking to build a defensible IP position without over-investing too early.
What this includes:
01.
Patentability assessments to evaluate the strength of your innovations
02.
Tailored IP strategy based on current R&D, commercial plans, and long-term goals
03.
Cost-optimization plans aligned with funding rounds and product cycles
Patent Drafting and Prosecution
Scientifically Accurate. Legally Robust. Commercially Aligned.
At Grassi IP, patent drafting is both an art and a science. Every application is prepared by a qualified European Patent Attorney holding a PhD in natural science and possessing broad, hands-on experience across a wide range of technical fields. This ensures that your patent application is not only technically robust, but also strategically positioned for grant and future enforcement.
Each drafting project begins with a deep technical interview and a review of the invention in its commercial context. We work closely with inventors, in-house counsel, and executive teams to craft claims that are clear, defensible, and aligned with your business goals.
To enhance our clients’ outcomes, we also collaborate with carefully selected law firms that bring decades of experience in patent law and litigation. This network allows our clients to benefit from high-level legal insight and enforcement readiness, all while maintaining competitive and flexible cost structures.
With Grassi IP, you get more than a well-drafted patent — you gain a strategic IP asset built for long-term value.
