IP Defence: IP for defence companies

Defence technology in Ukraine is built fast, often by small teams, volunteers and contractors. Rights end up scattered between people — which becomes a problem as soon as an investor, a state contract or a foreign partner appears.

What we do

• securing rights in code, design documentation, firmware and designs;
• employee inventions and contracts with engineers and individual contractors;
• IP in Brave1 grant projects;
• patent strategy: what to patent and what to keep as a trade secret;
• patents for export — in Ukraine, via PCT and in selected countries;
• licensing and technology transfer to partners;
• trademark protection for defence products.
