Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need a lawyer?
Yes — AirFrameIP™ is designed to make your conversations with a lawyer faster, more productive, and less expensive. We help you clarify your IP goals, gather the right information, and prepare a strategy so your legal team can focus on execution, not discovery.
What kind of IP does this help with?
AirFrameIP™ covers all major forms of intellectual property relevant to growing and protecting your business — from patents and trademarks to copyrights, designs, trade secrets, agreements, and data. We help you understand which apply to your situation and how they work together in your strategy.
What if I already filed something?
That’s fine! Many of our clients join after filing to ensure they’re covering the rest of their portfolio and aligning it with their growth plans. We can help you identify gaps, strengthen protection, and avoid costly missteps.
Can I reuse my package the next time I need to file IP?
Absolutely. Your completed AirFrameIP™ package is a reusable framework. You can update it for future filings, new products, or shifts in your market strategy — saving time and ensuring consistency.
When should I start my IP Strategy?
The earlier, the better. The most successful innovators treat IP as part of their business plan from day one. Even if you’re not ready to file, having a strategy in place helps you make smarter decisions about disclosure, partnerships, and product development.
What if I’m not ready to file yet?
Perfect — this is the ideal time to start. We’ll help you map your innovation, spot risks, and plan the right timing for protection so you don’t miss opportunities or expose your ideas too early.
