How does Tradespace help R&D leaders increase inventor participation?

By providing an intuitive portal that takes less than 15 minutes for inventors to submit disclosures, Tradespace lowers the barrier to engagement and helps R&D leaders capture more ideas with less administrative burden.

How can R&D teams use Tradespace to improve the quality of their invention disclosures?

The platform uses AI to instantly convert existing inventor materials (slides, notes, prototypes) into structured disclosures, add missing business or technical context, and improve the consistency and completeness of submissions.

Roles such as Head of R&D, Innovation Manager, Engineering Lead, Research Director, and IP Liaison benefit from faster workflows, fewer disruptions, and a single, streamlined channel to collaborate with IP.

How does Tradespace help integrate R&D output with IP and business strategy?

Tradespace aligns invention capture with product roadmaps, competitive intelligence, market relevance, and IP strategy, so R&D leaders can ensure that the ideas they develop support business goals, not just technical novelty.

Does Tradespace help global and cross-discipline R&D teams reduce disclosure bottlenecks?

Yes. It is designed for R&D teams operating globally or across multiple disciplines, allowing for faster disclosure submission and review without slowing innovation or increasing administrative complexity.

What measurable outcomes can R&D leaders expect from implementing Tradespace?

Outcomes often include faster disclosure submission, higher disclosure volume, higher inventor participation, better structured invention data, stronger filing pipelines, and fewer missed opportunities for IP capture.
