Challenge

In a rapidly evolving digital world, securing sensitive data has become one of the foremost challenges for businesses across various industries. Companies need to ensure the safe storage and protection of digital information, as data breaches and cyber threats continue to rise. However, developing such security solutions comes with the challenge of safeguarding intellectual property (IP) to protect innovative technologies from being copied or misused by competitors.

At InvisibleLab, our founders, together with INESC TEC, tackled this challenge proposing a revolutionary method for the secure storage of digital information. The goal was to ensure that the solution would not only meet industry standards but also be legally protected thus being a competitive advantage.

Solution

Our team recognised that beyond the technical development of our secure storage solution, strong IP protection was critical to preserving our innovation. As a result, we diligently pursued patent protection, ultimately securing U.S. Patent No. US10699021B2 for the “Method and device for secure storage of at least one element of digital information, and system comprising such device.”

This patent solidified our position as innovators in the field of digital security, offering a cutting-edge system that allows businesses to store sensitive information securely while preventing unauthorised access. By patenting our method and device, we ensured that our technology was fully protected from potential infringement, allowing us to bring it to market with confidence.

Why Strategic IP Management is Crucial

For any business working on innovative technologies, especially those addressing critical issues like data security, a strategic approach to IP management is essential. Patents like ours are more than legal documents—they are powerful tools that enable:

• Exclusive market rights to sell and license protected technologies
• Prevention of competitors from copying or leveraging your innovation
• Enhanced company valuation through proprietary technology
• Opportunities for partnerships or monetisation through licensing agreements
• Freedom to innovate without fear of IP infringement

By securing this patent, we not only protected our technology but also laid the foundation for future growth, partnerships, and licensing opportunities. This case demonstrates the critical role that well-managed IP can play in driving business success, especially in highly technical and competitive fields.
