Who we are

Patent attorneys.
Engineers. Both.

Goalie IP was founded on a simple observation: most IP enforcement firms have lawyers who don't understand the technology, or technologists who can't act on what they find. We're both — and that changes everything.

Our team

Co-Founder & Managing Attorney

Reid Brandborg

J.D. · P.E. · USPTO Registered Patent Attorney

A registered patent attorney and mechanical engineer, our co-founder brings a combination of technical depth and legal authority to every enforcement engagement.

Co-Founder & Managing Attorney

Ross Brandborg

J.D. · B.S. Mechanical Engineering · USPTO Registered Patent Attorney

A registered patent attorney and mechanical engineer, Ross has managed the prosecution of more than 1,200 trademarks. He specializes in patent claim analysis and copyright enforcement, leveraging his engineering background to interpret technical specifications and product schematics with the same precision he applies to claim-by-claim infringement analysis.

He has represented clients across manufacturing, consumer products, and digital media — always with the goal of converting monitoring intelligence into decisive legal action.

Our story

Built because we saw the gap

We founded Goalie IP because we kept seeing the same problem: businesses with valuable IP — registered trademarks, strong patents, original creative works — had no practical way to know when someone was stealing from them.

Traditional IP monitoring services send you a spreadsheet and leave you to figure out what to do. Traditional law firms charge by the hour for strategy you could've had months earlier. We combined systematic monitoring and attorney-grade analysis under one roof, with pricing designed for real businesses.

The name "Goalie" says it all: we're the last line of defense for your intellectual property. We actively block threats before they score.

Active, not passive

We don't just flag potential matches and send a report. We analyze, prioritize, and give you a recommended action — backed by attorneys who can execute it.

Technical and legal

We're engineers who became attorneys. We don't need a technical expert to translate your patent claims — we can read them ourselves and act on them.

Transparent pricing

From a $49.99 single report to annual monitoring, our plans are published upfront. No surprise billing. No hourly rates for work you didn't authorize.
