Portfolio Strategy Process
02
Map milestones and exposure points
Discuss launches, fundraising events, diligence checkpoints, and disclosure risks that should influence filing timing.
03
Prioritize what deserves protection first
Separate high-value core inventions from lower-priority ideas so budget and legal attention go where they matter most.
04
Build the filing roadmap
Turn the strategy into a practical sequence covering near-term filings, deferred decisions, and resource planning.
05
Use the roadmap as the company grows
Update the portfolio logic as new products, diligence pressure, or competitive realities change what protection matters most.

Plan the next year of protection intentionally
A stronger portfolio usually comes from better sequencing, not just more activity. The value is in deciding what matters now, what can wait, and what deserves deeper investment.
