Demystify the patent prosecution process.
Run8 brings a profoundly innovative approach to patent prosecution and has developed an expansive library of strategies that enable us to tune patent portfolios to founders’ specific IP needs, particularly regarding fundraising, partner management, exit, and competitor leverage.
Invested
We are invested in our clients. As serial entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand and support the unique needs of startups founders.
Efficient
Time is invaluable for founders. We take responsibility for all patent strategy and drafting so you can focus on innovation.
Simple Billing
Our flat rate billing system means no surprises. Ever. Execute your IP roadmap with confidence.
Engineers First
At our core, we are engineers. We have held engineering and founder roles at startups. We have stood in your shoes. We will still build.
Quality Control
We expect success for every patent application in every patent portfolio at every stage. This demands commitment to quality.
Seed to Exit
We specialize in nurturing and scaling patent portfolios for tech startups at every development and fundraising stage.
Strategy first.
Every client relationship begins with patent strategy and IP roadmap development. Run8 provides multi-year dollar-specific budgets for every patent portfolio it supports. Know what you will get, when, for how much, and why it adds value to your company before you spend a single dollar on IP.
Derek F. Amanatullah
Founder at Knimble Designs, nSight Surgical, and Arthrology Consulting
I've worked with Run8 for about eight years now.
Together we have a 100% hit rate resulting in 11 issued non-provisional patents (and counting). Run8 created the intellectual foundation for two start-ups and an ongoing royalty bearing licensing agreement. In short, Run8 is about issued claims and financial results!
Thibault Corens
Co-Founder & CTO at Presso
As a growing, robotics startup, Run8 has successfully pushed two of our patents over the finish line, with four more in progress.
The value created through our current portfolio setup is major as we keep growing our product and further raising funds, especially thanks to their high understanding and collaboration around strategizing IP through their engineering knowledge.
Run8 has been very transparent from a budgeting perspective.
Their communication is prompt and effective, ensuring a smooth and clear understanding throughout the process.
I highly recommend Run8, they have consistently exceeded my expectations, great for anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable partner in the patenting process.
Andrew Gillies
Co-founder & CTO at Urban Machine
I’ve been working in tech development for over 15 years, and I’ve never worked with a firm that can execute at such a high level of quality, efficiency and timeliness - our first patent with Run8 was issued in record time, just 10 months from submission to fully issued by the USPTO - astounding!
At Urban Machine, we are developing at the cutting edge of what is possible with automation, material recovery and recycling. In order to maintain our competitive advantage and build value, protection of our IP is of utmost importance.
Peter and his team at Run8 have provided a bedrock foundation for us in this regard as we’ve developed our stack. The insights they bring during the process always blow us away - and demonstrate a mastery over not only IP strategy, but over the engineering details themselves.
From software and AI to hardware and sensor integration, it is clear they are on the same page. No detail is lost!

Run8 has been a great partner in helping us develop a strong patent portfolio.
Their advice has been invaluable in deciding what to patent. They are meticulous in capturing details of our technology and have a thorough understanding of robotics technology and IP laws. I have learned so much from them during our sessions. Patent applications prepared by them get awarded quickly with minimal changes. They understand startup culture and needs very well. They are very responsive and able to work with our tight deadlines. They are very professional and efficient. They have far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them.

Really excellent group of patent professionals.
They are most interested in best serving your needs versus charging you by the millisecond. Their approach to IP strategy is well thought out and comes from extensive experience in the space with proven results.
