Valigent
Valigent is a Umeå-based technology company developing an AI-powered platform that helps companies capture, develop and evaluate technical ideas early in the innovation process. The platform creates a shared workflow between R&D and IP, where technical ideas are structured, compared with relevant prior art and refined before decisions are made on patents, trade secrets or further development. For technology and cleantech companies, Valigent can help identify what is distinctive about an innovation earlier, reduce the risk of valuable ideas being overlooked, and provide a stronger basis for continued investment in development and commercialization. Valigent does not replace patent counsel. Instead, it strengthens the early innovation process and prepares clearer, more complete material for subsequent IP and business-strategic decisions.
