Protectingyour big ideas

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Every business needs to protect its assets. But in the swirl of founding a startup, IP tends to take a back seat.

Over 50% of seed companies don’t apply for trademarks and fail to patent their ideas. This can impact a company’s competitive standing, market penetrations, and even fundraising. Getting ahead of these common challenges is critical to success.

Our team has secured more than 110 patents and 60 registered trademarks, with a patent issue rate 10% higher than the USPTO average.

WHAT WE DO

IP opportunity assessment

Identify intellectual property opportunities and define a development path with a preliminary evaluation from All Turtles’ IP experts.

Patent development

It takes on average about 3 years to get a US patent. Starting early provides stronger safeguards and a more appealing story for investors.

Trademark development

A company’s brand can be its most important asset. Registering trademarks is critical to defending territory and standing out in a crowded market.

Brand name optimization

We can evaluate proposed brand names to optimize registrability, reduce conflict risk, and improve the odds of a successful trademark application.

All Turtles handles discovery and development across the full patent and trademark lifecycle in long-term partnerships with law firms Westborough IP Group, LLC and Trust Tree Legal, P.C.

NEW FOR 2026

ALL TURTLES IN ACTION

Building Sunflower Labs’ patent portfolio

As a pioneer in physical site security, Sunflower Labs has developed a system that deploys fully autonomous, AI-powered drones to protect commercial, industrial, and residential properties. They’ve turned to All Turtles time and again to help patent their inventions, and we’ve delivered with a whopping 90% success rate (compared to a USPTO average of 65%).

Our ample experience across the startup spectrum has helped us identify and address Sunflower’s needs from the earliest stages of their journey through recent investment rounds from major funders. All while Sunflower’s team stays focused on delivering the best product possible.

“It’s nearly impossible for a startup to know what’s truly patentable and actually worth patenting. Working with AT helped us identify which of our ideas and developments met that bar. We uncovered more than a dozen patentable inventions. Then the AT team and their patent law firm partner handled the paperwork and managed all communications with the patent office. Without their help, we wouldn’t have the patent portfolio we have today.”
