From identification to holding

1
Domain scan
Identify a regulatory gap, a compliance authentication need, or an unprotected substrate-integration opportunity. Confirm no blocking art in the primary substrate class.
2
FTO scope memo
Structured prior art landscape. Gating families identified. Claims drafted to work around blocking references or target combination-only positions not in prior art.
3
Provisional filing
Full specification and claim set — 20 to 70+ claims — filed as a provisional patent application. Establishes priority date. Twelve-month conversion window.
4
Non-provisional conversion
NP application filed by deadline. Claims refined against prosecution history. Continuation strategy established for family expansion.
5
Licensing or acquisition
Holding marketed to the primary licensee target identified at domain-scan stage. Deal structured through the designated Michigan operating entity.

How every holding is built

Patent-anchored from day one
No holding enters the portfolio as a concept, pitch deck, or business plan. Every holding is a provisional patent application — or a drafted provisional awaiting filing — before it receives a venture name.
Substrate-intrinsic position
The primary inventive position across most holdings is a functional layer or witness element co-formed within the substrate during manufacture — not applied after the fact. This combination-only architecture produces claims that are structurally difficult to design around.
Regulatory mandate alignment
Each holding is evaluated against an active or near-term regulatory mandate that creates a compliance need the holding addresses. Mandate urgency is a primary factor in filing priority scoring.
Named licensee at outset
The primary licensing target — typically a large OEM, commodity supplier, or compliance-driven buyer — is identified during domain scan, before claims are drafted. Claims are shaped around that target's product class.

Jeffrey D. Retherford
Founder · HeOntotita Corporation · Principal · Blastanein

Thirty years in plant and corporate controllership across tissue and paper, building products, biomass energy, dental and ophthalmic devices, and federal manufacturing — including prior service at the U.S. Mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Ten completed ERP and EPM implementations across six platforms: Epicor, Oracle ERP, Hyperion EPM, SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics.

The substrate-intrinsic authentication methodology underlying the Blastanein portfolio originated from direct operational exposure to authentication and compliance gaps in high-volume paper and film manufacturing.
