The Iprova
Invention Platform
Iprova’s technology enables the creation of inventions by identifying and connecting useful inventive signals from day-day social, market and technological advances - even if they are very distant to the target invention area. The technology has been built on Iprova’s 10 years of research into invention creation, which captures our experience of working with leading technology companies to create over 2,500 inventions.
Why Iprova?
Imagine if your company could capture changes across industries, technologies, markets and society as soon as they occur and use these to create disruptive inventions that result in valuable new products and services.
Disruption
We create valuable inventions which span different domains, product ecosystems and/or experience journeys, and which can help grow our customers' top-line through disruptive new products protected by foundational patents.
Speed
Invention is a race where the winner takes all. Inventing faster provides a better chance of winning the invention race, where the lead can be sustained by filing patents with broad claims.
Agility
Our digital, lean, approach means that the target invention area can be continuously updated to match the needs of fast changing markets.
Reliability
Finally, we have made invention a robust, reliable and systematic activity which reflects the importance of the resulting intellectual assets and associated top-line benefits to your business.

Let's talk
Iprova defines a target invention area with your team and delivers a stream of patentable inventions starting 2 weeks after an invention campaign begins, and then at 2 week intervals. You may accept or reject inventions from the stream. We assign to you the Intellectual Property Rights for each accepted invention.
Iprova identifies high-value areas for invention to support and help define your product roadmap and business strategy. These high value areas for invention can then be populated with inventions through an Invention Creation campaign.
... Invention Studioevo extends the state-of-the-art for machine-enhanced creativity tools into the area of technical invention creation and, for the first time, truly makes invention an activity which is accessible throughout an organization.
