We specialize in obtaining strong, broad, defensible software patents for our clients and work with them to craft patents to maximize company value.

Robert Plotkin, one of the firm’s founders, is one of only a handful of patent attorneys in the U.S. who has an extensive track record of obtaining patents for quantum computing software.
At Blueshift IP, we work collaboratively with you to develop patent portfolios that are aligned with and support your business goals. We begin the collaboration by discussing with you your business objectives, understanding how you believe patents will further those objectives, and then selecting, filing, and prosecuting patents that further the goals we’ve identified.
This process requires us to learn about your technology in depth and your future technology development plans in the context of the competitive market in which your business operates. This way, we can obtain patents that protect your technology today and tomorrow, and enable your patents to be used offensively as necessary.
We use our combination of technological and legal expertise to craft and execute patent protection strategies that maximize the strength and value of your patent portfolio. Through this process, we educate you about the patent process and empower you to play an active role in creating intellectual property protection for your innovative technologies.
Patents that protect your core technology against your competitors
Patents that maximize value for events, such as financing, acquisition, IP, and licensing
Patents that are written to provide maximum defense against challenges by competitors
A patent strategy that evolves with your evolving business goals over time
Structured communication of our jointly-evolved IP strategy to outside stakeholders, such as investors, potential acquirers, and partners, so that everyone understands the value of your patent portfolio
Acquainting you and your employees with the IP process so that your engineering and business teams make maximum contributions to the company’s vital IP assets and so that valuable patent assets are not left on the table
Cynthia Gilbert and Robert Plotkin, both passionate technologists and software patent attorneys with degrees in computer science, founded Blueshift IP, a Boston-based patent law firm specializing in patents for software and computer technology.
Both our founding partners were recognized as IP Trailblazers by The National Law Journal
The “IP Trailblazers” recognition is given to only a tiny fraction of IP lawyers in the US who are recognized as innovative leaders. Being a small boutique patent law firm, it is an honor that both our founding partners were bestowed this recognition and included alongside some of the largest and most well-known prestigious patent law firms in the country.
