Biotech FTO & prior-art searches, sized for small teams
You’re building serious science with a small budget. We help small biotech teams and boutique firms answer the questions investors and partners will ask about their IP—without big-firm overhead.
- Early-stage biotech focus – discovery through preclinical and early clinical programs, platform and single-asset companies.
- Right-sized projects – from fast red-flag screens to deep-dive FTOs that stand up in diligence.
- Bench-to-patent fluency – PhD-level understanding of the biology plus experience with patentability, FTO and competitive landscapes.
Who we’re for
Venture-backed biotech startups, university spin-outs, and small patent firms that need a specialist IP search partner—not another generalist vendor.
Freedom-to-Operate (FTO)
Before you put serious money behind a program—or show it to investors—we map the patent landscape around your target, modality and delivery.
We highlight potentially blocking rights, white-space and areas where licenses, design-arounds or claim-narrowing might be needed.
Prior-art & patentability sweeps
We survey the prior art around your invention so you and your patent counsel can shape claims that are both defensible and realistic.
The goal: avoid spending limited cash on patents that won’t survive examination or investor diligence.
Competitive & IP landscapes
Concise, slide-ready views of who else is in your space, how they’re claiming it, and where your story fits.
Ideal for fundraising decks, BD discussions and internal portfolio decisions when you can’t afford a full consulting project.
Getting ready for a raise, term sheet, or license?
We help small biotech teams walk into investor meetings, BD calls and partner diligence with clear answers about FTO and prior art—not hand-wavy assurances.
