R&D Consulting
Blue Raven Scientific LLC is a team of accomplished scientists with extensive technical and program management experience working in multinational corporate research departments, government R&D, universities, and startup companies. BRS experts can complement your team as advisors, or we can provide technical and programmatic oversite and guide R&D efforts and concept development. BRS has established key relationships, credibility, and trust within the government, academia, and throughout the private sector. To help guide those interested in securing government awards, BRS consultants bring key insight from their service both within the government and as contractors themselves.
Our consultants have advised officials making source selection decisions and technical experts evaluating competitive offers. We also provide Science and Engineering Technical Advisor (SETA) services to government programs and portfolios. We will assist your company in obtaining government funding by utilizing our extensive experience in technical writing and document review from proposal to post-award contract. We can help your company craft its most effective message to government leadership, congressional stakeholders, and the public.
IP Management & Patent Consulting
Our legal expert is a Ph.D. scientist with over 25 years of experience in the practice of IP law in both government and private practice. He has represented some of the world’s largest corporations in federal courts litigating IP disputes. At its heart, BRS is a technology-based firm. Our consultants know better than most that IP lies at the intersection of science, engineering, and an ever-changing body of law. We appreciate the hard work and investment that lies behind new discoveries, and we understand that, in business, IP is not just an asset, it often represents the future of your company. Unlike many of our competitors, BRS consultants have run research programs and developed new patented technologies.
We monetized those developments through licensing-out programs, improved them through licensing-in agreements, and expanded them through joint research partnerships. Our consultants work with your technical experts to identify the best ways to protect, license, and monetize your IP. BRS can research your competition and, with our background in IP law, we can identify areas that are already patented, areas where patent protection is weak, and areas where no valid patents exist. When the best choice is to maintain an invention as a trade secret, BRS can advise how to guard and maintain your most valuable secrets.
