Who we are
Built by an engineer who went through the patent marking process and found it harder than it needed to be
What we do
Industry-backed Development
We understand this problem because we've dealt with it firsthand. Our personal difficulties with managing marking revisions, spreadsheets, and updates is what drives us to build the best possible solution available.
User-Centric Approach
We have designed our software with you in mind. Intuitive, easy-to-navigate, and robust, our platform suits both patent novices and experts alike.
Lawyers, Lawyers, Lawyers
With support and backing from the pre-eminent intellectual property lawyers, we are able to handle the nitty gritty so that you don’t have to.
Constant Updates
Intellectual property laws and requirements evolve as technology does. We stay ahead of the curve, regularly updating our software to reflect the latest in patent protection.
Built to Scale Down
Virtual marking should not require a compliance department. The work of keeping a marking page accurate is the same whether you hold four patents or four hundred, and the tooling should absorb it either way.
Innovative Solutions for Modern Inventors
287a LLC aims to be the leading platform for virtual patent marking. In a world where innovation moves at lightning speed, we’re here to ensure that your intellectual property rights keep up.
Our platform was born out of a need from our founding team. We recognized the challenges inventors and businesses face in managing, marking, and protecting their patents. Traditional methods no longer served the evolving demands of the modern world. Thus, our platform came to life, bridging the gap between innovation and protection.
