Clear IP, a Dublin-based technology platform supporting idea capture and early-stage IP workflows, and Adler Pollock & Sheehan P.C. (AP&S), a leading U.S. law firm with extensive intellectual property experience, today announced a collaborative initiative offering MedTech innovators an efficient, structured approach to preparing and filing provisional patent applications.
The collaboration brings together Clear IP’s information-capture and workflow tools with AP&S’s established patent counseling and drafting capabilities, providing innovators with a clear option for securing an early filing date through an attorney-led process.
A Structured, Attorney-Led Pathway to Provisional Filing
Through the Clear IP platform, participating MedTech innovators will follow a coordinated process that includes:
- Initial submission of core concepts and materials through the Clear IP platform
- A scheduled consultation with an AP&S patent attorney
- Attorney-supervised drafting of the provisional patent application
- USPTO filing, following client review and approval
The offering includes attorney-prepared filing services from AP&S, together with a one-year professional license to the Clear IP innovation platform.
Supporting Innovators Seeking Clarity and Predictability
Early-stage MedTech teams frequently face uncertainty around timing, cost, and process. This collaborative service is designed to provide:
- Predictable timelines from intake through filing
- Transparent pricing and clearly defined steps
- Consistency and quality, supported by Clear IP’s structured intake tools and AP&S’s MedTech-focused patent team
Securing an early filing date may help innovators advance conversations with investors, partners, and collaborators.
