01 / Integrated capabilities

Core capabilities.

Engineering, intellectual property, market validation, and manufacturing inform one another from the start. Each discipline supports the same outcome: a useful solution with a viable path to production and supply.

01 / ENGINEER

Engineering

Turn a business challenge into a working solution.

  • Mechanical, electrical & embedded systems
  • Software, AI & machine learning
  • Prototyping, testing & design for manufacturing
02 / PROTECT

Intellectual Property

Move quickly to protect inventions, then test more broadly before investing in scale.

  • Invention & portfolio development
  • In-house patent drafting & prosecution
  • IP strategy & commercialization
03 / VALIDATE

Market Validation

Find out what customers value before making a bigger commitment.

  • Lean Startup & customer discovery
  • Independent product & brand launches
  • E-commerce, Amazon & market testing
04 / DELIVER

Manufacturing & Supply

Carry the solution into production and the hands of customers.

  • Supplier development & sourcing
  • Prototype & low-volume manufacturing
  • Process development & production coordination

02 / Practical execution

Solve the challenge.

An innovation needs to solve a customer problem, be producible, and create business value.

We connect technical development with testing, sourcing, and production decisions. Short learning cycles resolve uncertainty before significant investment in scale.

Invention Development & Patent Protection

Patents drafted, filed, and prosecuted for independent inventors and companies across a wide range of disciplines and markets.

  • Invention development
  • Patent drafting
  • Patent prosecution
  • IP protection

04 / Established 2003

Need a new box?

Established in 2003, KnuBox brings engineering, invention, and commercialization experience to challenges that cross disciplines.

We build the team around the opportunity, combining project-specific expertise and external partners with a focus on execution.

You don’t need to think outside the box.
You need KnuBox.

05 / Corporate innovation

Space to develop
what’s next.

Explore a new product, business, or technology while your existing organization stays focused.

Our Lean Startup approach combines customer discovery, rapid prototyping, and market testing. Independent product and brand launches provide a way to test demand without putting an established brand at the center of the experiment.

We bring dedicated execution capacity, so employees can stay focused on their existing responsibilities. The approach adapts as technical and market evidence develops.

Successful concepts can transition into licensing, ongoing manufacturing, or other commercialization partnerships.

06 / Government & agency support

Government solutions.

CAGE Code 3MXA2

Specialized products, engineering solutions, and manufacturing support for government organizations and the contractors that serve them.

We help turn technical requirements into practical products and systems, connecting design, prototyping, testing, sourcing, and production decisions.

  • Engineering & development. Mechanical, electrical, embedded systems, and software development for specialized requirements.
  • Prototyping & testing. Build and evaluate working prototypes to resolve technical uncertainty and inform the next stage of development.
  • Manufacturing & supply. Custom equipment, prototype and low-volume manufacturing, supplier development, and production coordination. Support for replacement components, hard-to-source products, and specialized assemblies.

Share your technical requirements, quantities, and schedule so we can discuss scope and fit.
