About Lotik

How the company started.

Lotik came out of research into a set of problems that recur in almost every R&D collaboration: the difficulty of tracing intellectual contributions over years, the risk of sharing sensitive information with partners — competitors included — agreements that take months to update, intellectual property with no clear record of origin, and reports rebuilt by hand every cycle.

The research behind Lotik began at the University of São Paulo, was validated with industry and presented at international forums. We didn’t arrive at this market looking for an opportunity. We arrived because it was the problem we were studying.
