More retainers and project work for patent research & analytics firms
Before a company files, litigates or licenses a patent, someone has to map the prior art and the competitive landscape, and that someone is an IP counsel, an R&D director or a patent attorney who would rather outsource the search than burn billable hours on databases. Each of them carries a LinkedIn title that reveals the technology area they cover and whether they own the budget. Reach the right person first, open with the field they actually work in, and turn a cold note into a standing research retainer, free to start.

“Our pipeline was all referrals from two patent attorneys, so when their caseload dipped, ours did too. Now I pull IP counsel and R&D directors across the industries we specialize in, and the AI references the technology area they patent in. We picked up a quarterly landscape retainer with a med-device company that had never heard of us.”
