We started working with Stratford IP in 2018. Right from day-one, they brought business sense to our use of intellectual property. They are pragmatic and focused on delivering and creating value for our organization. With their VIPM service, we no longer have to worry about our IP. We know we have a good IP strategy and it is proactively implemented to provide us with better protection and value at predictable cost.
