Step by Step Innovation

Identify:
Find and Confirm Market Innovation

In today’s competitive landscape, identifying unique innovation is crucial for market distinction. Companies can establish a strong foundation for their products or services through strategic ideation. Recognizing and cultivating these innovations requires continuous scouting of novel trends and familiarity of prior implementations. With knowledge of what is truly new, you can make strategic implementation and reuse choices while knowing which core ideas are undiscovered elsewhere.

Analyze:
Comprehensive Itemization of Value Addition

Highlight value additions in both technical systems and user experiences through a detailed exploration of your innovation benefits. This analytical process ensures that your innovations answer immediate product needs and generalize to future verticals that may be nascent. For example, a uniquely solved user issue improves your customer loyalty but it may also be a value addition for businesses in entirely different verticals.

Predict and Protect:
Strategic Publications & Patents

Anticipate market trends to best safeguard your intellectual property. Patents provide legal protection for your innovations as inventions, fostering an environment where creativity can thrive without the fear of imitation. Trademarks help establish brand identity, creating consumers recognition and trust. Protect your innovations and position for future opportunities through expert use of patent law and trademark registration.

Example Fyve Labs Innovations as Patents

Automated obscurity for digital imaging

With origins in networking and mobile camera system interactions, we determined the need for wholly-automated detection and suppression of personal image content. From a mobile prototype aimed at device-level identity obfuscation, a patent was filed in parallel with a research publication. The subsequent publication was resold after the technology evolved in a consumer space.
