Claim to Market Read
By Patenture.
Before there is a go-to-market, there is a patent and a question.
A granted claim set is a legal artifact. The buyer, the job, the price, and the path are still unwritten, and most companies find out which use cases the claims actually reach after they have pitched the wrong ones. Patenture turns a patent into a product definition, a priced offer, a partner ladder, and material a board can read.
Built for security, identity, and trust technology: hardware security, cryptography, identity and access, payments and fraud, and regulated markets.
The read
What the Read delivers
Two to three weeks, fixed fee
You will find out which of your use cases your patent actually covers, and which of them anyone will pay for, before you spend another dollar on either.
The Read stands on its own. Its open-items table is a work plan you can run without us. For SBIR and STTR Phase II awardees it may qualify as a Technical and Business Assistance expense, subject to your agency's rules.
What you receive, by name
Plain-Language Claim Explainer
Each independent claim rewritten in the words a buyer uses, with the limitations that matter marked. It answers what you actually own, as a commercial fact rather than a legal one. Every document that follows is built on it.
Use-Case Inventory (scored and tiered, bottom tier killed in writing)
Every candidate use case scored on a fixed rubric and tiered, with the bottom tier killed in writing and the reason given. It answers which uses your claims actually reach and which anyone will pay for. You stop pitching the ones that failed.
Honest Moat Read (one page)
One page on what the claims protect, what they do not, and how an incumbent would respond. It answers whether the advantage holds. A board trusts it because it marks its own weak points.
Order-of-Magnitude Sizing
A bottom-up size for each top-tier use case, built from counts and prices rather than a share of a published market number. It answers whether the market is worth the work. It replaces the top-down slide investors stopped believing.
Questions for Patent Counsel
The commercial questions your prosecution counsel should answer before the continuation is drafted, written so counsel can act on them. It answers what to ask and when. You hand it to counsel as is.
What This Read Did Not Settle (open item, cheapest action, owner)
A table of every open item, the cheapest action that closes it, and who owns it. It answers what is still unknown. It is the work plan you can run without us.
Then
Commercial Viability Assessment
Ninety days, fixed fee
A board-grade answer to whether, where, and how your technology becomes a product someone pays for, with the investor briefing, the partner briefing, and the board recommendation to act on it.
Six workstreams run in concert: claim to capability, use-case inventory and scoring, market gap and bottom-up sizing, competitive landscape and honest moat, regulatory and legal gating, and business model with pricing and a partner ladder. It ends in a recommendation document and deck, investor and partner briefings, and an objection sheet written for the questions a buyer's architects will ask.
The six workstreams run in concert, not in sequence, because a late finding in any one of them invalidates the others: a competitive finding undoes a locked use case, a regulatory gate undoes the sizing, a real price undoes the revenue model. The recommendation comes last and only last.
What you receive, by name
Market Gap and Competitive Landscape
Who sells into each top-tier use case today, how they would respond, and the gap the claims fill. It answers where you fit. It frames every pricing and partner decision after it.
Regulatory and Legal Gating Read
The certifications, standards, and procurement rules that gate each use case, with the time and cost of each. It answers what stands between you and a purchase order. You sequence the roadmap against it.
Market Model (internal and board versions)
A bottom-up revenue model in two versions: one with every assumption exposed for your team, one summarized for the board. It answers what this becomes if the assumptions hold. Both versions carry the same numbers.
Pricing Card and Sample Quote
A pricing structure, the price points tested with the people who would buy, and a sample quote in the form a buyer would receive. It answers what to charge. Your first proposal is a copy of it.
Commercialization Paths Comparison
Build, license, OEM, or partner, compared on time to revenue, capital, control, and risk. It answers which path to take. The board recommendation rests on it.
Capital Plan
What the chosen path costs to reach first revenue, by quarter, and what it needs from investors or partners. It answers how much and when. It becomes the ask in the investor briefing.
Investor Briefing
A briefing written for the investors you will approach, in their language, with the objections they will raise answered in advance. It answers why they should fund this path. You send it before the meeting.
Partner Briefing
The same case written for the OEM, channel, or licensing partner who would carry the product, with what is in it for them. It answers why a partner should sign. It opens the partner conversation.
Board Recommendation
One document with the recommended path, the reasons, the risks, and the decision the board is being asked to make. It answers what to do. It is written to be voted on.
Final Report with evidence appendix
The full assessment with every finding graded Confirmed, Verbal, or Inferred and the evidence listed in an appendix. It answers how we know. Diligence teams read the appendix first.
Then
Commercialization Lead
Monthly, quoted per engagement
The plan the Assessment produced, run by the operator who wrote it, with a stop date and a defined handoff.
Partner outreach against the ranked ladder, design-partner and pilot acquisition, pricing tested in market, the first commercial hires, a monthly operating review, and a board update each period. This is the go-to-market work the operator has done for a living. Never a finder's fee on a capital raise.
Where the technology needs a go-to-market built after the deal, that is the Commercialization Lead, run by the operator who wrote the plan.
Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and a written data-handling annex your counsel can review before intake. How confidentiality works.
Patenture is not a law firm. The claim explainer and the counsel question list are commercial analysis; claim construction, validity, and prosecution strategy stay with your patent counsel, whose access is a condition of the engagement.
