Our Team
& Our Approach
Built by Practitioners
Patent Portal is led by operators, engineers, and strategists who understand the realities of building in complex, high-stakes environments. Our team brings experience across advanced systems, infrastructure-critical industries, regulatory landscapes, and capital markets. We approach intellectual property not as paperwork, but as structured, strategic infrastructure.
We work alongside founders and technical teams to translate innovation into defensible assets aligned with long-term growth, commercialization, and institutional investment.
This platform was not designed by marketers.
“Innovation without structure doesn’t scale. The advantage belongs to those who design for defensibility from day one.”
David Ebrahimzadeh is the Founder and President of Patent Portal, a platform built to structure and scale intellectual property within complex, safety-critical industries. Operating at the intersection of advanced engineering, infrastructure, and capital, he focuses on transforming technical innovation into durable, defensible strategic assets.
In parallel, as Founder and President of Corniche Capital, he leads investments across industrial infrastructure and advanced systems, while maintaining active exposure in defense technology, aerospace AI, and cybersecurity.
Applied IP
Operations
Patent Portal operates through an integrated team of patent strategists, technical analysts, research specialists, and commercialization advisors.
Our platform brings together engineering-informed writing, prior art analysis, regulatory awareness, and capital strategy to ensure intellectual property is evaluated and structured from multiple vantage points.
Rather than treating patents as isolated filings, our team supports founders and operators with disciplined review processes, technical validation, documentation development, and strategic positioning — aligning innovation with long-term defensibility and scalable growth.
Build With Us
Patent Portal works with engineers, analysts, technical writers, and strategic operators who understand the demands of complex, safety-critical industries. We value disciplined thinking, systems awareness, and the ability to translate technical depth into structured, defensible outcomes.
If you are experienced in intellectual property strategy, engineering documentation, regulatory analysis, or commercialization planning and thrive in high-stakes, infrastructure-driven environments.
We welcome conversations with individuals committed to building durable advantage.
The Industries We Serve
Patent Portal supports innovators operating across automotive and mobility systems, advanced manufacturing, energy and utility infrastructure, and defense and critical operations. These sectors are defined by engineering depth, regulatory oversight, capital intensity, and long deployment cycles, where intellectual property must be structured with precision and long-term durability in mind.
Our engagements focus on technologies that integrate hardware, software, materials science, and systems architecture. Whether supporting next-generation vehicle safety platforms, industrial automation systems, resilient energy technologies, or mission-critical field equipment, we approach intellectual property as strategic infrastructure, designed to scale, withstand scrutiny, and perform under real-world conditions.
Automotive &
Mobility Systems
We evaluate core technical differentiators, anticipate regulatory exposure, and develop claim strategies that support both OEM integration and scalable production. Our approach ensures mobility innovation is not only protected but structured to withstand certification, supply chain scrutiny, and competitive pressure over time.
Advanced Manufacturing
Advanced manufacturing environments demand intellectual property strategies that reflect automation complexity, robotics integration, materials science, and process optimization. Patent Portal supports industrial innovators by translating engineering workflows and production advancements into defensible patent frameworks aligned with deployment realities.
Energy & Utility Infrastructure
Energy and utility systems operate under regulatory oversight, capital intensity, and long deployment horizons. Patent Portal develops IP strategies that account for grid integration, distributed systems architecture, safety standards, and multi-stakeholder interoperability.
Our team structures patent portfolios around durability, compliance, and lifecycle performance.
Defense & Critical Operations
Mission-critical and defense-adjacent technologies require intellectual property strategies that anticipate performance thresholds, compliance frameworks, and operational stress environments.
Patent Portal works with innovators developing advanced equipment, dual-use systems, and resilient materials to ensure core engineering advancements are protected with precision.
