Geode IP is a seed round venture backed startup fanatically focused on making it easier for companies to manage and protect their intellectual property.New technologies, processes, designs and other forms of intellectual property drive massively important advancements in countless industries and serve as the lifeblood powering the global economy. In fact, did you know that intellectual property intensive industries account for almost 40% of the United States' GDP? And at the heart of all of this is intellectual property law, more specifically patents and trademarks, which helps an inventor and company protect and benefit from their invention.Yet despite the overwhelming importance of a company's patents, trademarks and copyrights, legal teams are often forced to manage their IP portfolio with clunky legacy software or even a cobbled together manual solution such as an excel spreadsheet. As a result, businesses are significantly less efficient and at risk of making basic errors that could result in a loss of a major competitive advantage. . That's where Geode IP comes in. We are building a modern cloud based software solution that solves for the entire IP lifecycle, from the spark of an innovative idea, all the way through to analysis and ongoing portfolio management. Intellectual property management is too important to be left to legacy software and spreadsheets. We believe there is a better way and we hope you join us in this mission.
