In situations where inventors are unable to pay their Patent Prosecution Attorneys (“Patent Prosecutors”) for the patent prosecution services required to properly protect their inventions so that licensing can ensue, Oso IP, LLC (“Oso IP”) secures financing to use “continuation” practice to procure patents that will meet the high standards required to maximize value via the inventor’s patent portfolio.

Patent prosecution is expensive, and not all inventors can afford to prosecute their patent application, let alone do so in a manner that sets the stage for maximum returns via licensing. This is especially the case in situations where inventors are building a business around their invention, or have other cost pressures. In these cases, patent prosecution can sometimes fall victim to tough decisions involving budget allocations and/or cuts. In worst case scenarios, inventors sometimes get behind on their patent prosecution bills, leaving both the inventor & their Patent Prosecutor in an uncomfortable situation.

Patent Prosecutors are typically not willing to take on a prosecution case on contingency. It is for this reason that Oso IP has built a business around filling such gap in the market, not just to get a patent and be done, but rather to build a robust patent portfolio that is equipped to serve as a basis for a lucrative licensing campaign that maximizes returns.
