Market Research / Buyer Search

Whether you are a solo inventor, a medium sized company or a large, global organization your final patent objective is always the same-making money. There are many ways to achieve this objective and Apex is here to assist.

Solo or Small Inventor. Typically an inventor gets an idea and hopefully goes to see her patent attorney to find out how to protect the invention. That same inventor knows that she has a great idea, may get a patent but in the end has no idea what to do with it or where to go to get it to market. Apex is able to provide suggestions, advice and assistance in these situations. Many times we come across inventors that wish to sell a product or, alternatively, companies that wish to buy a specific product for manufacture and sale. We are also able to assist in finding venture capital to get the investment needed to proceed. Apex is often able to put companies, investors and inventors together to achieve the ultimate goal-making money!

The same is often true for medium sized companies. The idea is there but many times the resources required to take the next step is missing. Due to our Global positioning we have the resources to assist companies with this next step and often this results in finding the perfect fit or perhaps working out a cross license agreement.

Large Organization may often face the same issues but typically larger companies must focus on enforcing and protecting their intellectual property or defend against infringement claims. Apex can help police, track down and negotiate license agreements, negotiate cross-licenses, persuade infringers to cease infringement and can protect you if you are facing infringement claims.
