Strong patent portfolios are rarely built from a single filing.
A well‑designed continuation strategy is what creates long‑term leverage, protects against competitors, and supports a company’s evolution over time.
Continuation applications allow companies to:
✔ adapt claim scope as the product and market evolve
✔ respond to competitive threats
✔ strengthen and broaden coverage over time
✔ preserve optionality for future expansions
✔ build layered protection around core technology
Without an intentional continuation plan, valuable opportunities disappear as the technology advances.
We design continuation strategies that:
✔ align with your product roadmap and technical trajectory
✔ anticipate future competitor behavior and market movement
✔ maintain flexibility for new embodiments, features, and use cases
✔ strengthen the portfolio with each successive filing
And this planning begins at the first filing, not later in the process.
A strong continuation strategy ensures your patents grow with your company—not behind it.
Continuation strategy is not something to figure out at the last minute.
It’s a plan that should be built from day one.
