At Trust Tree Legal, we work with inventors and entrepreneurs every day. Our clients may have great ideas, but will often encounter countless questions about the non-legal aspects of their business plan. One of the common challenges most clients face is bridging the gap between having a concept and taking concrete steps to get the business off the ground. That’s exactly why we’re excited to announce our collaboration with 52Launch.
About 52Launch
52Launch is a Framingham, Massachusetts-based product development agency that helps innovators turn ideas into real, market-ready products. Their in-house team covers the full spectrum of product creation—from industrial design and rapid prototyping to manufacturing, branding, and marketing. Whether a client is starting from a napkin sketch or looking to scale an existing product line, 52Launch provides the hands-on expertise to make it happen.
Why We’re Excited
The moment that a new prototype, brand, or commercial concept is conceived, there are valuable IP assets at stake and decisions to be made regarding patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret protection. Some IP rights can be eroded or completely forfeited if timely legal action is not taken. Implementing a clear, cost-effective IP strategy from the outset ensures that our client’s ideas are well protected, and that their competitive advantage is maintained.
Despite the norms in the legal sector, product development and IP protection go hand in hand. Many law firms operate in the dark regarding the thought process on the development sides of the business, which can result in clients paying for legal services that are not carefully tailored to the larger business plan as it evolves. Our collaboration with 52Launch is designed to fix this problem: We want to give founders access to experienced IP counsel as early and often in the process as possible to ensure that all IP-related decisions are driven by the conversations that help a product get to market; simultaneously, we want to have direct recommendations at the ready for reliable, high-quality assistance with prototyping, manufacturing, branding, marketing, and other non-legal needs.
We at the Tree get our kicks not by collecting bills for aimless, under-informed legal projects, but by helping awesome people bring awesome ideas to life. To that end, we provide our legal services on a transparent and projectable flat-fee basis, and are always happy to talk through questions as things unfold. Our collaboration with 52Launch allows us to stay even more in step with our clients along their business journey and come up with better legal solutions as a result.
We’re Here to Help
Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a first-time founder, if you’re looking for a team that can take you from concept to commercial reality, we’d love to connect.
