How a Vet-Owned AI Company Safeguarded Its IP
Military-owned businesses often possess unique technological advantages derived from years of research, development, and practical application. These innovations, ranging from advanced materials to sophisticated software, can be valuable assets in the commercial marketplace.

One veteran-owned company’s journey — combined with a patent attorney’s experience preparing and filing patent applications — provides valuable insight into what veterans should do to safeguard their intellectual property.
What Are Patents and How Do They Work?
