Intellectual Property. The company has taken deliberate efforts to protect its intellectual property. As of June 2016, the company holds two registered trademarks (“Supported Intelligence” and “Rapid Recursive”), has filed for a third (“SmartBracket”), and has 6 patent applications pending before the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The company closed a Series A round in mid-2013. These funds were used to support development of the core product, the Rapid Recursive® Toolbox, intellectual property protection, and modest marketing efforts. The company has demonstrated strong revenue growth in each year of operation. However, development costs continue to exceed revenue, as expected for a company at this stage.
