t-Studio - from MVP to IP

Important results from the project

t-Studio is a startup incubated at INK Borås Textile Fashion Center, developing software for 3D fashion design. The purpose of this project was to map existing intellectual properties developed by t-Studio such as novel methods for material scanning and 3D cloth simulation with the goal to create a strategy plan that will guide t-Studio IP efforts.

Expected long term effects

We worked with AWA on following topics: - Patents AWA searched for patent applications that are similar to t-Studio optical scanning and 3D simulation technology, and provided a plan forward on how to apply, protect and monitor those assets. - Legal AWA reviewed all t-Studio contracts that are IP sensible, including NDAs, Employment, Contractors and more, providing insights on how we can better protect our assets with guidelines for future contracts, - Trademarks AWA searched for trademarks that could be competing with t-Studio and provided a plan forward on how to protect the brand.

Approach and implementation

Our project is implemented on the following layout: Part A: Overview and identification of t-Studio’s intellectual capital - About intellectual capital, intangible assets and intellectual property rights Part B: Outlook and assessment in regard of the competitive landscape - Competitors - Trademarks, domain names, designs, agreements, patents, trade secrets Part C: IP strategic roadmap with recommendations for important focus areas - About IP strategy - Summary of IP strategic recommendations according to observations in Parts A och B - IP strategic roadmap t-Studio
