About

W&Patent is a small advisory practice run by Andrew Leung, a registered patent agent turned entrepreneur. It helps early-stage founders decide what is worth protecting, when to file and what can wait, so a limited budget goes into protection that builds defensibility instead of filing for filing's sake. Services: founder patent advisory, virtual marking for founders with issued patents, and decision support for early-stage teams. Andrew also created the Trust Chain method, which connects founder identity, company claims and proof so a business is easier for people and AI systems to trust and cite.
