Ziebig works as your outside IP team. We fill your pipeline, check what is worth protecting, and handle the filing, on a fixed budget.
On file for companies across our core fields
Hand off as much of the filing process as you need, without changing how your department works.
Harvesting sessions with your R&D turn ideas into filing-ready disclosures, so you hit your number even when R&D runs quiet.
We check whether a patent is actually critical to the business before you spend budget, so the money goes where it protects value.
Drafting and filing handled reliably and on time, on a fixed annual budget.
Budgets you set at the start of the year, with no hourly surprises.
We stay ahead of your deadlines and update you without being asked.
We slot into your systems and reporting, so nothing changes for your team.
The filings you committed to, delivered, with ideation to fill any gap.
