How it started…
Concept IP was set up by Danny Butler and Flo Bazant after spotting a market opportunity to combine IP management with patent attorney services.
There may be several inventive concepts in a product. This provides multiple options for protection, and some protection options are more cost-effective than others... …and this provides an opportunity for managing protection better.
“Different [patent] claims can, and generally will, have different inventive concepts.” (UK Manual of Patent Practice, Section 3.34)
Early days
After a few months of brainstorming sessions, Concept IP started trading in 2019. One of our first clients joined straight after an ad-hoc conversation at a trade show, seeking help with an immediate business need.
The client is still with us and has even referred other clients to us!
Since then, we have grown through direct enquiries and through client referrals, keeping us busy…
…how it’s going
We secured granted, patent-office approved patents for over 50 clients in over six continents.
Today, we are:
- advising over 120 clients,
- managing over 400 patents globally for our clients,
- growing through repeat business and referrals.
