Welcome to Sharp IP!

My name is Jeff Lindsay. I'm a recovering professor, a researcher, inventor, IP strategist, and new product enthusiast. I'm starting this blog to help others dealing with the challenges of protecting their inventions and dealing with disruptive innovation. This blog will be especially aimed at the following groups:

• New inventors looking to not just protect their invention, but help it flourish in the market place.


• Inventors and patent professionals in Corporate America looking for ways to overcome corporate barriers to innovation and out-of-the-box strategy for growth.


• People wishing to take advantage of the principles of disruptive innovation, especially as applied to intellectual asset strategy.

I have had some great experiences in some of these areas, though I still have plenty to learn. But as we share ideas back and forth, perhaps we can help each other to reach our goals. There is a universe of potential out there, and sound strategy and sharp IP might just help.
