This Is Why You're Here
Why Intellectual Propertys Come to Us Instead of Their Bank
A tech company retained you for patent infringement litigation. Expert engineers, prior art searches, and claim construction analysis cost $50K before the Markman hearing.
Your IP prosecution practice is growing — 40 new patent applications this quarter. USPTO filing fees and prior art searches total $35K before you collect a single fee.
A trademark dispute requires a consumer survey ($25K) to prove likelihood of confusion. Your client is a startup that can't advance costs. The case is worth $500K.
A tech client's patent was infringed by a competitor doing $20M in annual sales. You took the case on contingency but claim construction requires two technical experts at $15K each. That's $30K out of pocket before you bill a dime.
You've got 12 patent maintenance fees due next quarter — $18K total. Miss them and your clients' patents lapse. But 4 clients are late on their invoices and you're short $11K.
40 patent applications hit my desk in one quarter — $35K in USPTO fees before I'd collected a dime. Basecamp set up a $75K revolving line of credit in 48 hours. Now I file on day one instead of waiting for client payments.

Why Intellectual Property Businesses Choose Basecamp
Technical Experts Cost $500/Hour
Patent litigation needs engineers who understand the technology better than the inventors. These experts charge $400-$600/hour and you need them for weeks of prep. That's a five-figure line item per case that your client usually can't advance.
USPTO Fees Never Stop Coming
Filing fees, office action responses, maintenance fees — a busy prosecution practice spends $35K/quarter at the USPTO alone. A revolving credit line means you file on day one instead of waiting for client payment.
Consumer Surveys Aren't Optional in TM
A $25K Likelihood of Confusion survey can make or break a trademark case worth $500K. You can't skip it because you're short on cash. Our lenders fund these costs without case liens so you control the litigation.
IP Deadlines Are Absolute
Miss a USPTO deadline and the patent is dead. Miss a litigation deadline and you face sanctions. When you need $15K for a filing this week, you can't wait for bank approval. We fund in 24 hours.

Calculate Your Real Cost →IP attorneys front massive costs — $50K for a Markman hearing, $25K for a consumer survey, $35K in USPTO fees in a single quarter. One patent attorney in San Jose was floating $35K in filing fees every quarter on his credit cards. We set him up with a $75K line of credit. Now he files immediately and pays zero credit card interest.

Intellectual Property Business Loan FAQs
Intellectual Property Attorney Loans & IP Law Firm Financing — $10K to $10M+
IP law eats cash. A Markman hearing costs $50K in expert engineers and claim construction analysis. A trademark dispute needs a $25K consumer survey to prove likelihood of confusion. And if you're running a prosecution practice? You're fronting $35K in USPTO filing fees every quarter before clients pay their first invoice. You're essentially the bank for your clients' innovation — and your actual bank won't fund it because they don't understand patent economics.
We do. We fund IP attorneys who are tired of floating $35K in filing fees on credit cards at 22% interest. A $75K revolving line of credit for USPTO costs. Working capital in 24 hours for a $50K patent litigation expert. Term loans for building out a litigation practice. One application, 70+ lenders, no hard pull. Patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright — if it's IP, we've funded firms doing it.
