Between advice and a full teamWhere fractional fits
Scope, involvement and duration are agreed for each business
When do you need fractional IP support?
When IP responsibilities grow beyond occasional filings.
As your business develops, IP-related decisions become part of everyday activities. New inventions emerge, products evolve, external advisors need instructions, and portfolios require regular attention.
You may recognize some of these situations
No dedicated IP professional
IP responsibilities are shared between founders, R&D managers or legal teams, without a clear internal point of coordination.
Growing innovation activity
Your engineers regularly develop new solutions, but there is no consistent process for identifying, reviewing and reporting potential inventions.
An expanding IP portfolio
Your business has more applications, registrations, deadlines and decisions to manage, but limited internal resources.
Additional capacity needed
Your existing IP or legal team needs temporary or ongoing support during periods of growth, increased workload or organizational change.
Fractional IP Support helps bridge the gap between occasional external advice and a permanent in-house IP function.
If two or more sound familiar, let's talkWhat we support
Practical support across your IP activities.
The scope of our involvement is shaped by your business needs, internal structure and existing resources.
Invention Identification & Intake
Support the collection and preliminary review of invention disclosures, establish communication channels with technical teams and coordinate next steps. In Türkiye, this can be part of a complete employee invention management process.
R&D & Internal Stakeholder Coordination
Work with engineering, product development, management and legal teams to help identify IP-related needs and organize relevant actions.
IP Portfolio Oversight
Help maintain visibility over existing rights, application status, upcoming decisions, portfolio reviews and maintenance considerations.
External IP Counsel Coordination
Act as a point of coordination between internal stakeholders and external patent or trademark professionals, helping organize instructions, information and follow-up actions.
IP Planning & Prioritization
Support the identification of IP priorities, coordination of search and protection activities, and alignment of relevant decisions with business timelines.
Internal IP Reporting
Provide structured updates on IP activities, pending matters, relevant deadlines and decisions requiring management attention.
Services and responsibilities are defined individually for each engagement.
In-house understanding. External flexibility.
The in-house advantage
Managing intellectual property from within an organization is different from handling individual IP matters as an external service provider.
Our approach is shaped by years of hands-on in-house IP experience within an industrial organization. We bring this perspective into your organization, helping make IP activities more structured, connected and manageable.
How we work with your team
Embedded in your workflow. Flexible by design.
Our aim is to complement the way your business operates, not to impose unnecessary processes.
1
Understand Your Needs
We review your existing IP activities, internal resources, priorities and areas where additional support would be valuable.
2
Define the Scope
Together, we establish the activities to be supported, responsibilities, communication channels, expected outputs and working arrangements.
3
Work Alongside Your Team
We provide the agreed support through regular communication, coordination and involvement in relevant IP activities, working with your existing teams and advisors.
4
Review and Adapt
We periodically review the support arrangement and adjust priorities or scope as your business needs evolve.
Flexible engagement models
The right level of involvement for your business.
Interim IP Support
Temporary additional capacity during staff transitions, recruitment periods, organizational changes or increased workload.
Embedded Project Support
Closer involvement over an agreed period to help establish IP processes, coordinate a defined R&D programme or support a particular phase of business development.
Each engagement is tailored to the required activities, level of involvement and duration.
Fractional support in practice
Different teams. Different IP support needs.
A growing technology business without an IP manager
The situation
A technology company relies on engineers and senior management to coordinate its patent activities. External attorneys handle filings, but internal invention reviews, instructions and follow-up activities are not consistently organized.
How Sincore can help
We help establish a structured invention intake process, coordinate internal and external communication, organize pending IP actions and provide ongoing oversight of relevant activities.
Relevant support
An established IP team facing additional workload
The situation
A company's IP team is managing an increasing number of projects and needs additional capacity for internal coordination, portfolio reviews and reporting.
How Sincore can help
We work alongside the existing IP function to support agreed workstreams, help coordinate information and follow-up actions, and provide additional capacity during the relevant period.
Relevant support
An R&D organization building internal IP processes
The situation
An engineering-driven company has growing R&D activity but lacks a consistent method for identifying potentially protectable developments, communicating them internally and deciding when external IP advice is needed.
How Sincore can help
We help establish practical invention reporting and review workflows, support communication with technical stakeholders and coordinate the involvement of external IP professionals when needed.

These scenarios illustrate possible support arrangements rather than specific completed client engagements.
Frequently asked questions
Before you get started.
Anything else you would like to know? Ask us directly.
What is Fractional IP Support?
Fractional IP Support is a flexible arrangement in which an external IP professional supports selected activities normally coordinated by an internal IP function. The scope, level of involvement and duration are agreed according to the business's needs.
Do we need an existing IP department?
No. We can support businesses without a dedicated IP professional as well as companies looking to extend the capacity of an existing team.
Will you replace our existing patent or trademark attorneys?
Not necessarily. Our role can include coordinating with your existing external advisors, helping prepare instructions and organizing internal follow-up. Separate patent and trademark representation services can also be arranged where appropriate.
Is the service provided remotely?
Support can be structured around remote collaboration, regular meetings and agreed involvement with relevant internal teams. Any on-site arrangements are discussed separately.
How is the service priced?
Pricing depends on the agreed scope of activities, expected workload, level of involvement and engagement duration. We define a suitable arrangement after discussing your needs.
How long does an engagement last?
As long as your business needs it. Support can be arranged for a single project, for a defined period or on an annual basis, and we agree the most suitable arrangement together.
Can the scope change over time?
Yes. The arrangement can be reviewed and adjusted by agreement as your business activities, priorities or internal resources change.
