01 — Perspective
From code to a global IP portfolio.
AI models, autonomous agents, software, datasets and digital products can involve different layers of intellectual property. We identify what can be protected, who owns it, where protection matters commercially and how the rights should travel as the business scales.
02 — Services
A layered IP strategy for emerging technology.
Different technology assets call for different forms of protection. The strategy may combine registered rights, copyright, trade secrets, contracts and licensing.

AI & Patent Strategy
Assessment of patent opportunities for AI-enabled inventions and technical solutions, with filing and prosecution coordinated according to jurisdiction and subject matter.

Trade Secrets, Data & Know-How
Protection strategy for confidential algorithms, models, technical information, datasets and business know-how, including confidentiality and ownership frameworks.

03 — Who we advise
Where emerging-technology IP becomes commercial.
AI, SaaS & software ventures. IP strategy around algorithms, code, brands, technical inventions, ownership, open-source dependencies, licensing and investment readiness.
Universities, labs & spin-offs. Protection and commercialization of AI-enabled research, software, inventions and technology-transfer assets.
Blockchain & digital-asset businesses. IP analysis for brands, software, protocols, creative assets, licensing, provenance and token-linked rights — while separating IP advice from financial or securities regulation.
04 — Approach
Identify. Structure.
Protect. Commercialize.
The objective is not to force every technology into a patent or registration. It is to map the intangible assets, ownership chain, protection options and commercialization model before choosing the appropriate tools.
01
Map
Identify the technology, code, data, inventions, brands, content, confidential know-how and contractual relationships that create value.
02
Own
Review who created each asset, how rights were acquired and whether the chain of title is documented for employees, founders, contractors and collaborators.
03
Protect
Select the appropriate combination of patents, trademarks, copyright, designs, trade secrets, contracts and jurisdiction-specific filings.
04
Commercialize
Structure IP for licensing, partnerships, technology transfer, due diligence, investment and international growth.
05 — Reach

07 — The firm
A boutique,
not a department.
You work with specialists.
LIT·IP was established as a firm in 2018. Its founding partners have worked in intellectual property since 1999 and 2001. Emerging-technology matters receive partner-led attention and are approached through the IP rights actually involved — including trademarks, patents where appropriate, copyright, designs, trade secrets, ownership and licensing.

Blockchain · Tokenization · Digital Assets
Protect the rights
behind the token.
Tokenization does not, by itself, determine ownership of the underlying intellectual property. We focus on the IP rights, licenses, brands, software, creative assets, provenance and contractual permissions connected with a digital asset or blockchain-based product. Where the project also raises financial, securities, tax or other regulatory questions, those issues require the appropriate specialist advice.
AI & Generative AI
From models and code
to protectable assets.
AI projects can raise overlapping questions around patentability, inventorship, copyright, training inputs, outputs, software ownership, trade secrets, open-source components, licensing and brand protection. The answer is technology- and jurisdiction-specific; our role is to map the IP position and build the appropriate protection and coordination strategy.
