01
We developed something new
Assess the invention, prior art, patentability and a focused patent strategy.
Assess your technologyA clear start to your IP work
Your technology deserves an IP strategy that makes business sense.
AIPS helps startups and technology companies with patents, IP strategy, freedom to operate and commercialisation — without making IP more complicated than necessary.
Based in Stavanger · Working with companies across Norway and internationally

01 / Decisions
What are you trying to do?
Start with the business situation. Then identify the IP questions that actually matter.
02
We are preparing to launch
Understand your freedom to operate, competitor rights and risk before entering the market.
Understand your freedom to operate03
We are preparing for investors
Review ownership, portfolio, strategy and documentation before due diligence.
Prepare your IP for investment04
We don’t know what to protect
Map what creates competitive advantage and prioritise patents, secrecy, trademarks, design or speed.
Build an IP strategy02 / AIPS
Strategy before paperwork
01
Technology first
We understand the technology and commercial problem before recommending protection.
02
The right protection — not the most protection
Not everything should be patented. We consider patents, trade secrets, trademarks, designs, contracts and speed together.
03
Built for startup reality
Limited time and capital demand priorities based on business value, risk and company stage.
04
The right help — not the most hours
AIPS only takes on engagements where we can create genuine value. If other specialists or services suit your needs better, we will say so — and gladly point you in the right direction.
03 / Process
IP starts with understanding the business
01
Understand
Technology, business model, market and commercial objectives.
02
Map
Existing IP, ownership, competitors, prior art and potential risks.
03

What should be patented, kept secret, registered, contractually protected — or deliberately left unprotected?
04
Execute
Searches, strategy, patent work, FTO, IP reviews and coordination with relevant specialists.
