Inventions on demand – in 2 weeks
Iprova’s Invention Services give enterprises fast, reliable access to high-quality, business-aligned inventions across their priority technology areas. Delivered by our multidisciplinary team of invention engineers — spanning chemistry, materials, FMCG, industrial technologies and 6G communications — we create stronger, more commercially relevant inventions in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional approaches.
Inventions are delivered in two-week cycles, providing a predictable, rapid cadence of high-value concepts aligned with your business priorities.
We operate a partly contingent model, where a portion of our fees is earned only when you choose to accept the inventions we deliver. At the start of each engagement, we agree on a target number of accepted inventions. From there, our role is simple: to generate inventions so compelling, relevant and valuable that you choose to advance them into your R&D, product and IP pipelines.
How our Invention Services work
Iprova’s Invention Services use a sprint-based process and the proven expertise of our invention engineers to deliver breakthrough inventions exactly where—and when—they’re needed. We work closely with your R&D, business and IP teams to understand your objectives, identify high-value opportunity areas, and generate targeted inventions. Selected inventions are then developed into fully structured invention disclosures that integrate seamlessly with your patent-filing workflows.
Our approach is additive to internal innovation efforts. By continuously tracking diverse, distant and weak signals in near real time, we uncover unexpected yet highly relevant invention directions that internal teams may miss — enabling organisations to invent earlier, with greater clarity and stronger commercial impact.
Key Benefits:
- On-demand invention output, delivered rapidly, without increasing internal workload or headcount
- Additive and complementary inventions, revealing valuable opportunities through unique signal detection
- Faster time-to-invention, producing patent-ready outputs in as little as two weeks
- Aligned incentives through our contingent model — we are incentivised to create inventions that you choose to accept
Whether you’re accelerating R&D, expanding your patent portfolio, or exploring new invention frontiers, Iprova makes invention creation predictable, measurable and fast.
