The IP Team of One

Sample Image

The IP role was created to be strategic. The Monday morning queue rarely is. There are two versions of how this role goes: one where the IP leader spends every week barely keeping up, and one where the same headcount runs a function that operates well beyond its size.

This playbook is for the second version. Inside:

  • Customer-Centric IP Starts With People

    Why the inherited operating model collapses at small scale, and what replaces it

  • Rethink Processes with Stakeholders in Mind

    A three-question framework for portfolio pruning that funds the filings you actually want

  • Tech Should Serve Everyone, Not Just Legal

    Why a system of record matters more than any other change you can make

  • Mission

    The strategic work the role was created to do, and how to make room for it

  • Mission

The teams that thrive at this size are not working harder than their peers. They are making different decisions about what the role requires in the first place.
