Background

About Jackie Hutter

I develop, draft, and manage "Bet the Company Patent Portfolios" that CEOs of innovative companies can deploy to elevate the value of their companies. Since 2009, I have been named a Top Global IP Strategist by my peers each year. My practice model is unique: I work solely with innovators that are solving long-unmet needs that are scalable. This means that what they are doing is patentable because their technology or products offerings are both novel and unobvious. The question is then how these innovators must craft their patents-and other forms of IP that are relevant in context-to ensure that stakeholders get paid back for their hard work and risk taking. In other words, my clients bring me patentable subject matter, and my job is to identify the best way for them to configure their protection to create not just patents, but patents that matter to their company's value. By using the right tools in the "IP Strategy Toolbox" for each client's business aims and goals, I am able to help them create meaningful IP protection quickly, and at reasonable cost. Many of my clients obtain broad patent coverage for their product offerings in less than 1 year, and have been able to leverage this for investment, licensing or exit. As an IP Strategist, I am "technology agnostic," and work with technologies as diverse as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biosynthetic cosmetic ingredients, polymers, IoT, AI, computer vision, cloud computing, construction, and consumer products. While I typically add significant value when brought in on the front end of a company's patenting process, for other clients I can "right the ship," when management recognizes that a change in IP direction is needed so as to better enable desired business outcomes. I leverage my relationships with experienced legal counsel who provide my clients with excellent IP services at a fair price. I also hold extensive experience in corporate IP management and strategy. If your company seeks to set up an effective and efficient corporate IP program, I am available for consulting.
