🔐 Defense IP Strategy & Portfolio Management

Mission-Critical Innovation. Protected with Precision.

At Verus IP, we provide specialized intellectual property consulting for defense contractors, advanced technology firms, and dual-use innovators working at the intersection of security and innovation. With leadership grounded in a Juris Scientiae Magister (J.S.M.) in Intellectual Property Law, our services deliver strategic insight into managing sensitive, high-value IP—ensuring full compliance, commercial alignment, and operational readiness.

We help clients bridge the gap between technical invention, government compliance, and commercialization by offering expert guidance in IP strategy, portfolio structure, licensing support, and federal contract IP protections.

✅ What We Do

📦 IP Portfolio Structuring & Lifecycle Management

We help defense companies organize, document, and manage their intellectual property across multiple technology domains—including autonomous systems, communications, software, and tactical hardware. Our services ensure that your IP aligns with product development, export compliance, and DoD engagement.

🔐 Government Contract IP Compliance (DFARS, Bayh-Dole)

Verus IP supports clients in understanding and managing data rights, limited rights, and government purpose rightsunder federal acquisition regulations. We assist in preparing IP deliverables, data rights assertions, and structured invention disclosures that comply with DFARS and other government contracting requirements.

🤝 Licensing & Technology Transfer Advisory

We develop frameworks for licensing sensitive technologies, including dual-use systems. Our team supports non-binding license structuring, term sheet drafting, and royalty modeling for private partnerships or federal tech transfer engagements (e.g., CRADAs, OTAs, and SBIR/STTR transitions).

🌍 Export Control-Aligned IP Strategy

We advise clients on IP strategies that account for ITAR and EAR-controlled technologies, helping ensure that patent filings, licensing documents, and trade secret protections are compliant with U.S. export control laws—without compromising global commercialization goals.

📊 IP Risk & Competitor Landscape Assessment

We conduct IP audits, white space analysis, and risk mapping to identify both opportunities and threats to proprietary defense technologies. These reports are designed for internal strategy, investor use, or pre-bid positioning.
