Technical depth
Work begins with inventions, systems, data, product architecture, research sources and the real constraints of implementation.
About the consulting practice
An integrated view of technology, intellectual property and business strategy
PatentBusinessLawyer.com is organized around a research-led consulting approach: clarify the technical facts, structure the commercial decision, and identify the right expertise for execution. Principal: Rahul Dev.
Global, project-based consultingTechnology & commercial researchScope agreed before engagement
Professional approach
Connecting evidence with decisions
Commercial relevance
Analysis is designed around defensible strategic alternatives, risk, capabilities, milestones and the information an executive needs.
Defined scope
Every consulting project should identify its deliverables, jurisdictions, professional boundaries and responsibility for specialist review.

Credentials & Research Training
A multidisciplinary background informs work across intellectual property, technology innovation and business strategy. Rahul Dev holds a PhD in Technology Innovation. Formal practising rights, registrations and jurisdiction-specific admissions should be established separately whenever they are relevant to a proposed engagement.
In an enquiry, identify whether you need independent technical research, commercial advisory or regulated representation.
Professional Experience
Work across patent-related research, technology business questions, contracts, innovation strategy and cross-border coordination has informed the consulting approach. The objective is to connect technical evidence with decisions that founders, leadership teams and professional advisers can use.
Projects are scoped on their actual subject, resources, boundaries and intended decision.
Technology & Digital Systems
Coverage includes AI and machine learning, blockchain and digital assets, software products, data systems, and the commercial use of emerging technologies. Technical assessment is paired with product, governance and process questions rather than reduced to a list of fashionable technologies.
Example assignments: AI roadmap, technology diligence, knowledge system architecture and product strategy.
Patent & Innovation Experience
Patent work can connect prior-art evidence, drafting strategy, claim structure, landscape analysis, portfolio assessment and licensing considerations. The consulting focus is on technical and commercial intelligence; professional filings or advocacy must follow applicable authorization rules.
Relevant outputs include a patent landscape, opportunity map, portfolio review or inventor workshop.
Research & Publications
Published writing and research help test assumptions and communicate technical subjects clearly. This website contains a growing collection of guides and explainers across patents, technology, licensing and business questions. External publication histories should be supported by attributable links before prominent use.
Start with the existing research guides linked in the Services directory.
Speaking, Training & Education
Workshops, executive briefings and applied training can translate complex IP and technology topics for non-specialist teams. Programs should be defined by audience, capability outcomes, examples, assessment and the boundaries between education and professional advice.
Potential formats include focused leadership briefings, intensive workshops and practitioner learning sessions.
Selected Work & Project Methods
The most useful evidence of a consulting practice is how an assignment was structured: the question, method, sources, limitations, output and resulting decision. Public case studies will be added when confidentiality, permission and factual support allow.
Confidential engagements are not described as public outcomes without authorization.
International Collaboration & Cross-Border Scope
International consulting does not imply holding a professional licence or physical office in every country. Assignments may combine remote research, commercial analysis and coordination with suitably qualified local advisers where required. Geographic scope is documented for each engagement.
Describe the countries involved so that research and professional boundaries can be assessed.
Professional Standards & Responsible Delivery
A useful engagement begins with clear deliverables, confidentiality boundaries, source provenance and appropriate review. Legal, tax, immigration, securities or other reserved professional advice is outside a general consulting scope unless separately agreed with duly qualified professionals.
No enquiry, website visit or informal discussion creates an attorney-client or consulting engagement by itself.
