Offering you peace of mind when it comes to IP protection

We’re focused on providing innovators like you with strategic and hands-on intellectual property support that’s in line with your business objectives. It’s not just about filing patents – it’s about providing you with a virtual IP management service to help you:

Achieve your maximum valuation

VIPM will align your IP strategy with your organization’s objectives to help you achieve maximum valuation and leverage IP assets.

Close financings or acquisitions

With VIPM your IP portfolio is always ready for due diligence scrutiny or for reporting to boards and investors.

Mitigate risks

VIPM provides you with proactive IP protection that reduces your risk of litigation, loss of funding and opportunities.

Save time, money and resources

VIPM gives you quick and easy access to the information you need when you need it. No stress and hassle of file and data management.

We’ve worked with Stratford’s IP Management team since 2018 and their VIPM offering works well for us as they provide advice on strategy, assist with filing and prosecution, optimize maintenance costs, and provide monthly check-in and status reports. It frees up my time to focus on our product while maintaining a healthy IP program.
