Grabify follows a structured process in which a predefined sequence of steps and rules is designed to achieve the desired outcome consistently and efficiently. The workflow includes the submission and evaluation of human-originated innovations, execution of the Project Agreement for accepted innovations, establishment of the dedicated Project setup, Innovation Development & Value Enhancement, intellectual-property protection, and pursuit of successful commercialization.
Each step of the Grabify Process is designed to advance our mission of transforming human-originated innovations into commercial success.
The Inventor begins by submitting a brief description of the innovation using non-confidential information only.
Grabify conducts an initial review to determine whether the innovation appears appropriate for further evaluation under the Grabify Innovation Program.
No confidential invention information should be included at this stage.
If Grabify decides to proceed to a detailed evaluation, an appropriate NDA is executed before any confidential information is provided.
The Inventor may then provide a detailed Confidential Innovation Disclosure describing the innovation, its principal approach, substantive elements, intended operation, advantages, potential applications, and other information needed for evaluation.
Confidential evaluation begins only after the appropriate NDA is in place.
Grabify evaluates, among other factors, the innovation's technical foundation, intellectual-property potential, potential commercial applications, development requirements, risks, anticipated Project Costs, and the resources required to pursue the opportunity.
The evaluation may be supported by Enterprise-Secured AI, patent-intelligence technologies, professional expertise, and other resources considered appropriate by Grabify.
Following its evaluation, Grabify decides whether it is prepared to invest its resources and assume the agreed financial risk of pursuing the innovation.
For the innovation to be accepted, it must demonstrate meaningful potential for intellectual-property protection and exceptional commercial potential.
If Grabify decides to invest in the innovation, Grabify provides the Inventor with a Project Agreement.
Upon execution by both parties, the Project Agreement establishes the parties' rights, responsibilities, economic arrangement, and applicable intellectual-property provisions and automatically constitutes acceptance of the innovation into the Grabify Innovation Program and the Inventor's participation in the Program.
At that point, a Grabify Project dedicated to your innovation is created.
Once a Project is accepted, Grabify establishes the Project's Dedicated Knowledge Workspace within Grabify's Dedicated Confidential AI Environment and assigns a Grabify Project Manager, together with Project Specialist support.
Acceptance into the Grabify Innovation Program does not automatically provide the Inventor with direct access to the Project's Dedicated Knowledge Workspace. Direct access may be granted subject to appropriate AI proficiency, completion of any required training, applicable security and access-control requirements, and Grabify authorization.
Inventors who do not use the AI capabilities directly can participate in the Project through their Grabify Project Specialist.
Confidentiality & SecurityGrabify applies its Enterprise-Secured AI environment, know-how, resources, and professional capabilities to further develop the innovation, enhance its technical and intellectual-property value, and, consequently, increase its commercial value.
Project work may include, among other activities, investigation, research, analysis, refinement, potential contribution to subject matter ultimately claimed in a patent, validation, documentation, evaluation of alternatives, and other activities appropriate to the particular innovation.
The objective is to systematically enhance the innovation while preserving the human-originated inventive foundation of the Project.
Innovation ProgramGrabify funds, coordinates, and manages the intellectual-property strategy for the Project, including patent-related work in the United States and, where appropriate, selected foreign jurisdictions.
Patent professionals and other appropriate expertise may be engaged as required to prepare, file, prosecute, and otherwise protect Project intellectual property. When appropriate, inventorship is determined under applicable law based on the substantive human contributions to the subject matter ultimately claimed in a patent.
Following the development and value-enhancement process, securing appropriate patent protection is one of Grabify's major objectives and is intended to further enhance the commercial value of the innovation.
Innovation Program — IP ProtectionGrabify actively pursues commercialization opportunities for accepted Projects and leads and manages the commercialization strategy, subject to the Project Agreement.
Depending on the Project, commercialization may involve, among other approaches, licensing, strategic relationships, direct market opportunities, or other structures appropriate to realizing the innovation's commercial value.
The objective is to convert the enhanced and protected innovation into successful commercialization and realized commercial value.
Innovation Program — CommercializationUnder Grabify's standard economic model, applicable actual Project Costs are first recovered from commercialization proceeds.
The remaining net commercialization proceeds represent the parties' agreed participation in the commercial value realized from the Project. Grabify's most common sharing model is 50% Inventor / 50% Grabify.
The specific economic arrangement for each Project is established in the Project Agreement.
