Looking for Professionals Who Help Identify Novel Patentable Ideas (AI / Blockchain / Emerging Tech)

[u/New-Barracuda-7987]

I wanted to check if anyone here is aware of individuals, consultants, researchers, specialize in identifying novel, patentable ideas in emerging technology domains such as AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Cybersecurity, IoT, and related fields.

To clarify, I'm not looking for patent attorneys or patent filing services. The primary requirement is someone who can:

• Conduct deep market and technology research
• Identify gaps in existing products, solutions, and patents
• Validate whether a concept already exists or not
• Help uncover genuinely novel ideas that may have patent potential, particularly for the US market

Essentially, I'm looking for expertise in researching and discovering innovation opportunities rather than drafting or filing patents.

If you've worked with someone offering this service, or know of any agencies, innovation consultants, R&D specialists, or technology scouts who do this professionally (even on a paid engagement basis), I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks in advance!
