INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SPRINTTM

THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE

Intellectual Property has been on your to-do list for months. Investors are asking questions, competitors getting curious. There’s an IP due diligence with your name on it.

Building an Intellectual Property portfolio and robust internal processes can take years. Who am I kidding, though…

If you’re reading this, you likely need things done YESTERDAY but are not ready to commit for a longer term.

You wish someone could just join your team temporarily and sort everything out. This is where the Intellectual Property Sprint ™ comes in.

It was designed for busy founders who need outcomes, not outputs. I will take you from underprepared and hesitant to ready and confident in 4 weeks.

THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

  • ensure your IP is protected and be ready to answer any questions from potential investors
  • sail through due diligence with foolproof documentation and audited IP agreements
  • establish internal processes to harvest, manage and protect your intangible assets, such as trade secrets
  • train your team and create a structure of IP responsibilities to take the pressure of C-level team
  • create your own set of IP documentation such as IP policy, IP portfolio and IP budget
  • present your Intellectual Property strategy internally and externally with confidence

YOU’RE 4 WEEKS AWAY FROM BEING FUNDING-READY.

…or you get your money back.

NEED SOMETHING ELSE?

If you need more bespoke assistance, get in touch, no strings attached. I conduct Intellectual Property Audits, run workshops, accept speaking engagements. I also work with investors, law firms and universities.

ABOUT NATALIA

I am an Intellectual Property advisor for startups.

I help early-stage businesses turn their Intellectual Property into a value-driving asset rather than a question mark on the investment sheet.

As a lawyer and entrepreneur I translate legalese into business for founders. My forbidden words? “It depends.” I am the kind of advisor that will tell you exactly how it is.

TESTIMONIALS

Jessica Horwill, Strategic Projects Manager, King’s College London

Natalia joined us for our annual King’s College London Women Entrepreneurs Retreat, delivering a session focusing on sharing engaged and accessible insight into IP. She was an amazing presence on the day, giving supportive and useful answers to early stage business owners. Her positive impact on our attendees was clear and It was a genuine pleasure to work with her.

Chris Scantlebury, Director & Commercial Lead, ProConvey

I have had the pleasure of working with Natalia on our recent IP audit and her expertise exceeded our expectations. She delivered an exceptional IP audit and went above and beyond to assist us with trademark-related matters. Throughout the process, Natalia was always available for calls and advice. She clearly possesses a deep understanding of intellectual property, making her an outstanding choice for any IP-related services. I wholeheartedly recommend Natalia James to anyone seeking expert guidance in intellectual property matters.

Graham Archer, Chartered & European Patent Attorney, Archer IP

Natalia provides excellent liaison with clients helping them to make sure they get the most from across the whole spectrum of IP. She brings a refreshing blend of business and legal advice together to give clients decision making information for the real world.

Jonathan Haskins, Founder of Get Laid Beds

Working with Natalia to help us navigate our legal IP requirements was an absolute delight. Her specialist knowledge was ideally suited in providing the necessary advice and direction for our growing online brand and the challenges we face. She had an excellent grasp on leading the work around our unique bed designs and other related input was highly valuable.

Darren Mulryan, Founder & Director, MADE TO BE SEEN

We’ve called on Natalia a couple of times now and were so glad to have her in our corner. She made the complex world of copyright/ IP more easily understandable, with advice that was based not only on what we could legally achieve but what made the most sense for a company of our size, in that particular instance. The closest thing to having in-house legal support, Natalia gave us everything we needed to be able to have some really empowered conversations with our clients.

John Pryor, Founder of Exalt IP

Natalia is unique in the field of business and intellectual property for start ups and scale ups. Having built start ups from the inside, she has rare experience amongst legal professionals. The best bit however is that Natalia is not a legalese lawyer she is a business person first and foremost, (with a lovely human side) and that means your intellectual property strategy and plans are bespoke suited to your stage and ambitions perfectly.
