Counsel for the frontier of computation
Intellectual property counsel for cryptography, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Our lawyers and researchers bring technical depth to patent strategy, standards advice, licensing, and diligence.
Practice
Patent protection, implementation rights, and agreements supporting research and commercialization.
Standards and IP Strategy
We combine cryptography expertise with PQScope research intelligence to advise on standards contributions, implementation rights, and the path from research to practice.
Standards and IP StrategyBlockchain and Digital Asset IP
We help founders, protocol teams and investors protect blockchain technology, structure partnerships, and assess the IP behind a product or investment. Our work draws on deep cryptography expertise and a view of the post-quantum transition.
Blockchain and Digital Asset IPPatent Portfolios
We identify patentable advances in ongoing research and product work, draft claims that survive examination and diligence, and build portfolios that support financing, licensing, and acquisition in cryptography, AI, and security.
Patent PortfoliosIP Due Diligence
We evaluate whether a portfolio’s claims are defensible, whether ownership is clean, and whether the IP actually supports the product and the deal thesis. We work from seed review through M&A in AI, cryptography, and data systems.
IP Due DiligenceLicensing and Transactions
We structure technology licenses and joint development agreements, handle the IP side of M&A and financings, and resolve founder and inventor ownership questions so the rights transfer cleanly.

The state of post-quantum standardization
New cryptography moves through years of public evaluation before becoming a standard. Our analysis tracks NIST’s candidate fields, algorithm selections and published post-quantum standards.
We built PQScope, our proprietary research tooling, to connect that process to the research, people, organizations and patent disclosures behind it.

- Nov 2026Why Post-Quantum Standards Still Raise Patent Questions
A new practice area focused on tracking research, standards, and patents so technology companies can implement or contribute to post-quantum cryptography without creating avoidable IP problems.
- Nov 2026What investors read in a quantum startup's patent portfolio
Investor counsel reads a quantum startup's patent families twice, in the data room and in the public record at the USPTO and EPO. How to spend a limited patent budget so both tell the same story.
