NAPP Webinar: Protect Your Pivot - How Early Invention Broadening Can Expand Patent Attorneys' Role

August 11, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Protect Your Pivot: How Early Invention Broadening Can Expand Patent Attorneys' Role and Add Billions to Company Value

Most patent lawyers are trained to capture what a client has built. The better questions — and the more dangerous ones for competitors — are what else the client knows how to build and will probably build, what they know how to build but probably won't build, and what they don't know how to build yet but want to keep competitors from patenting. That's how you protect the pivot that made many multi-billion-dollar companies what they are today.

This program argues that the real failure in patent practice is often not narrow claim drafting at the end of the process, but narrow invention thinking at the beginning. Most inventors simply stop inventing too soon.

Drawing on the creativity frameworks of Gary Shuster, a Harvard Law School graduate who holds 262 issued patents and is an expert in patent litigation, his distinction between broadband and narrowband invention, and his four circles of patent strategy, this program co-hosted by DeepLaw and Inventiply co-founder Cameron Powell will show how clients can broaden their inventions before their patent attorneys draft them. The result is a more inventive prosecution strategy, more robust work for patent attorneys, stronger patent families, and concentric circles of moat instead of a single vulnerable wall.

Learning Objectives:

How to identify hidden embodiments and broaden invention disclosures without losing coherence
How to use concentric circles of patent strategy to align patent scope with business and exit strategy
Why some patents become framed souvenirs while others become durable fortresses — and what makes the difference
What inventors need from their patent practitioners, from the unique vantage point of a prolific inventor who is also an IP lawyer

Speaker Bios:

Cameron Powell, co-founder of DeepLaw LLP and its inventions analysis spinoff Inventiply, is a lawyer, tech entrepreneur, writer, and startup advisor for leaders in AI, IP, and innovation. After Harvard Law School, Cameron mastered high-stakes federal litigation at the Department of Justice and intellectual property at a major law firm before embarking on a 23-year career in tech startups as a founder and executive. He speaks on human-centered AI law, policy, and ethics, and is the author of Ordinary Magic.
