Real Results from Life Sciences Leaders Like You

We have been working with the team at Stratford for several months as a VIP Strategic Solutions client and we have been very happy with how they are handling our IP portfolio and overall strategy. It is rare to find an IP firm that approaches IP management so holistically.

 
At the outset, Stratford took the time to listen and understand our business goals and long-term plans, so that their IP recommendations align with our overall corporate objectives. Stratford also assisted us in formalizing internal processes to ensure that inventions are disclosed, catalogued, and filed promptly and properly.
 
We are confident in both our IP strategy and that our day-to-day matters are being diligently managed. Stratford ensured that our innovation and technology is protected and that nothing is missed. We know that we are in good hands."
