Find IP white space. Build an IP moat. Design what wins.
Product development hasn't changed in 30 years. We changed it. Innovation methodology meets AI-powered IP intelligence.
What we do
IP White Space Discovery
IP White Space Discovery
IP White Space Discovery
See the gaps competitors missed.
- Map prior art clusters and competitive claim territories around your concept
- Identify whitespace themes, expiring/weak zones, and “open lanes” worth pursuing
- Translate findings into clear opportunity areas your team can act on
A whitespace view that clarifies where to play.
IP Moat Strategy
IP White Space Discovery
IP White Space Discovery
Turn opportunity into protection.
- Build a moat plan around what truly differentiates the product (core → adjacent → blocking)
- Prioritize claim themes and sequence them to match your roadmap and funding milestones
- Deliver structured inputs your counsel can use to draft stronger, harder-to-bypass filings
A defensible strategy that’s harder to design around.
Henry AI Insight Engine

Henry AI Insight Engine
Signal → structure → decision.
- Mine public information to surface patterns in user needs, technology innovation, and market trends
- Organize signals into decision-ready maps, clusters, and evidence-linked summaries
- Enable faster alignment by giving teams a shared, data-backed view of the opportunity space
Faster discovery, clearer direction, better alignment.
A Product Development Process Built for Defensibility

Use Henry AI to map IP white space plus signals in user needs, technology innovation, and market trends.
Strategy
Discovery
Strategy
Translate insights into opportunity pillars, moat architecture, and a clear path for what to build (and what to protect next).
Delivery
Discovery
Strategy
Translate strategy into tangible outputs: detailed product embodiments, IP filing support, design documentation, and a clear roadmap your team can act on immediately.
Unique combination
Design Stack occupies a genuinely unique position in the product development market: the fusion of AI-powered research (user, clinical, market, technology, and IP) intelligence (Henry AI), as well as senior product design expertise, and defensible IP strategy.
