Technology & IP Law Firm

We build IP portfolios for growing startups.

Let's bring your ideas to the world.

How We Help.

Our job at Stake is to provide the legal counsel & support on the areas of tech law every startup needs to be aware of.

We can partner with you to build out your IP portfolio to protect things like your inventions, brands, and content.

We can provide the legal support you need thorough the legal side of entrepreneurship, ranging from formation to brand defense.

Privacy policy? No problem. We can help you build out the legal tools you need to handle data with care and ensure compliance.

Get contracts (like NDAs) you receive reviewed and find out if they’re OK to sign. We can also negotiate them for you if they’re not ready to sign or even build new ones for you.

Whether you’re licensing your intellectual property or getting acquired, we are able to provide the IP & tech legal support needed.

When it comes time to defend your turf, we’re here to fight hard for you.

OUR CLIENTS

Who We Serve.

We work in most industries, but Stake’s sweet spots are in space and tech. Stake is a great fit if you’re creating in areas like rocket parts, satellite software, quantum computing, automotive, new ways for people to use technology to communicate and share life together, and more.
