For scouts and routing partners
If you know the right doors, you should not be asked to carry the whole legal risk.
Provisionally is for people who can tell whether a non-confidential invention signal belongs in front of a specific company, product team, buyer, or counsel contact.
The scout job is narrow.
You are saying one useful thing: this looks relevant enough for this buyer to decide whether to review. Patent strength, ownership, FTO, confidentiality, and value stay with the parties and their counsel.
What makes a useful scout
- Real buyer coverage.You know actual companies and teams, not just a category name.
- Discipline around substance.You can route from a non-confidential signal and decline when the signal is not enough.
- Clean conflicts.You disclose when a route is too close to your own interests.
- Introductions that buyers want.The point is fewer, better doors.
