Most patents donโt have balls. Mine do.
Iโm Rory, a commercial patent strategist for startups, founders, and product innovators who actually want to make moneyโnot just file paperwork and hope for the best.
Most attorneys will sell you a 20-year patent before youโve even tested your product. Thatโs not strategy, thatโs sabotage. It can drain your cash flow and strangle innovation before your business even begins.
I do it differently.
๐ง What I Offer
I create patent strategies with ballsโprotection that works with your business, not against it.
๐ฅ Fits your business model and growth stage
๐ฅ Protects while you test, refine, and pivot
๐ฅ Delays big legal spend until youโre ready to scale
๐ฅ Increases your leverage for investors, licensees, and acquirers
๐ผ Proven Packages - with registered attorneys doing the filing
โ $499 โ 1-Year Patent (Provisional): Fast, flexible startup coverage under the Paris Convention
โ $4,750 โ Global Patent (PCT): Go international without overcommitting in any single market
โ $5,000 โ Utility Patent: 20 years of protection in your chosen territory
All include:
โ 1-hour strategy call
โ Custom 3-year IP roadmap
โ Clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras
๐ง Think Like a Strategist
Is your product still evolving? โ Go provisional.
Ready to scale? โ File PCT.
Want to license? โ Iโll help you frame it to close deals.
Iโm not a document pusher. Iโm your commercial IP partnerโthe guy who helps you win with patents, not drown in them.
๐ Bonus Services
Design with Balls.
Prototypes with Balls.
Licensing with Balls.
All powered by the same no-nonsense, results-driven approach.
๐ฌ What Clients Say
โRory explained the process clearly and built a patent strategy that made sense for our business.โ
โA rare mix of commercial insight and genuine care for our outcome.โ
โHe saved us thousands compared to traditional attorneysโand we ended up with a stronger plan.โ
๐ Why It Works
Most patent professionals are trained to protect ideas.
Iโm trained to grow businesses.
You donโt need a $20,000 legal tome that nobody reads.
You need a patent strategy that builds leverage and keeps your upside intact.
Want to see how it applies to your business?
๐ Book a free 1-hour call. Iโll map out your 3-year IP planโclear, simple, and tailored to your goals.
Letโs make you a patent strategy with balls.
