"When we reached out to Stratford for help with our IP strategy, we were looking for insight into how we could use our IP to create value and build our competitive advantage. Sitting down with several of their IP experts, we discussed our current strategy and the opportunities we were looking to prioritize as we continue to grow. In doing this, Stratford provided several recommendations to put us on the right path to achieving our goals while optimizing our strategy at the same time. I highly recommend taking advantage of their IP Strategy Review, it’s ideal for organizations who may not know where to focus their efforts when it comes to their IP. It is also falls under services that are eligible for IP Assist funding, which we were able to take advantage of. Following the recommendations from Stratford, we are confident that all our bases are covered when it comes to IP policies, and we have a clear path forward to ensure that best practices are enacted. "

We originally engaged with Stratford Intellectual Property because we were looking for a professional assessment on the strength of our current IP strategy and to identify ways we can be more proactive with its application. The assessment was funded by the IRAP IP assist program. Stratford’s IP Strategy Review has helped us identify risks and opportunities related to our intellectual property. Being a small company, this has been instrumental in strengthening our bids to secure funding and make ourselves attractive to investors. We are extremely pleased with the results from the team at Stratford, having already begun implementing their recommendations and we will use this IP Strategy Review as a reference during the next stages of our project. We plan to work with Stratford IP for our future IP needs.

“As a young company looking to start another round of funding in the new year, a review of our current IP and business strategies was recommended, so we reached out to Stratford to help. Through working with their team, we were able to identify the things that we were doing well and opportunities we could prioritize as we grow. We are confident that we have the best strategy in place that protects our innovation and demonstrates our value to shareholders and potential investors. We were able to take advantage of the IRAP IP Assist funding program to help offset the cost of the review, which was a real bonus to the whole process, and a great resource for companies looking for IP support.”
