Who we are

Nearly two decades
of building what matters

McCann Perkins was incorporated in Delaware in 2006 — a year before the first iPhone, five years before most enterprises had heard of cloud computing, nearly a decade before quantum computing became a boardroom conversation.

We have spent those years doing one thing with discipline: creating original technologies in critical domains, structuring them as defensible intellectual property, and transferring them to the markets and organizations that need them.

We are not a consultancy. Not an accelerator. Not a fund. We are an innovation engine — a technology company whose primary output is intellectual property and whose primary mission is to ensure that IP reaches the operators, ventures, and institutions that can deploy it.

2006 — Foundation

Incorporated in Delaware

McCann Perkins LLC is established in the United States with a mandate to develop and commercialize critical technologies — starting with cybersecurity infrastructure for emerging digital ecosystems.

2010s — Expansion

Into hardware & AI

As hardware security and artificial intelligence emerged as foundational domains, McCann Perkins extended its R&D mandate to cover hardware authentication, edge AI systems, and secure computing architectures.

2020s — Quantum frontier

Post-quantum cryptography

Anticipating the quantum computing threat years ahead of mainstream awareness, we developed post-quantum cryptographic protocols and migration architectures now aligned with NIST PQC standards.

Today

Four critical domains

Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum technologies, and Hardware security — four domains where McCann Perkins holds proprietary IP and actively creates, licenses, and transfers technology.

What we do

The Innovation
Engine

Our model is built on a single conviction: the most durable competitive advantage in critical technology is not who builds first — it is who owns the underlying intellectual property. Everything we do is structured around creating, protecting, and transferring IP that gives its holders a lasting edge.

⬡

IP Creation

We invent original technologies in critical domains — from first principles, not incremental improvement. Every architecture we design is structured for patent defensibility from the outset.

◈

Technology Licensing

We license our portfolio to ventures, industrial operators, and institutions — with structures calibrated to deployment stage, exclusivity requirements, and long-term commercial realities.

⟁

Technology Transfer

Full or partial transfer of technology assets — including documentation, source material, know-how, and transition support — to acquirers, spinouts, or strategic partners.

◻

R&D Mandates

Contracted research and development for organizations requiring original technology built to specification — with IP ownership and licensing rights structured from the mandate outset.

⌘

Architecture Advisory

Technical advisory on system architecture for operators deploying critical technologies — covering security design, cryptographic implementation, and hardware authentication integration.

◎

Portfolio Assessment

Independent evaluation of technology IP for investors, acquirers, and boards — patent defensibility, freedom-to-operate, commercial licensing potential, and market positioning.

Technology domains

Four domains.
Nineteen years of depth.

01 🔐

Cybersecurity

From network perimeter defense to zero-trust architectures and sovereign security frameworks — McCann Perkins has been building cybersecurity IP since 2006, before most organizations understood the scale of what was coming.

02 🧠

Artificial Intelligence

AI engineered for critical environments — where auditability, adversarial robustness, and operational integrity are non-negotiable. Our AI IP covers secure inference, edge deployment, and governance-bound model architectures.

Quantum Technologies

Post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution integration, and QRNG-based entropy generation. We anticipated the quantum computing threat years before it entered mainstream security discourse — and built accordingly.

Hardware Security

Physical unclonable functions, secure enclaves, hardware root of trust, and supply chain integrity verification. Authentication that cannot be spoofed, cloned, or compromised at the software layer.

How we operate

From concept
to transfer

Nearly two decades of building critical technologies has given us a disciplined process — one that ensures every technology we create is defensible, deployable, and transferable. We don't iterate to viability. We design for it from the first step.

1

Problem Identification

We scan the threat and technology landscape to identify unsolved problems of strategic significance — gaps where the absence of a solution carries real operational or security cost.

2

Architecture Design

Original technical architectures designed from first principles. We deliberately map prior art before beginning, to ensure every design decision maximizes both technical performance and IP defensibility.

3

IP Structuring

Before a prototype is built, the intellectual property framework is designed — filing strategy, trade secret decisions, licensing architecture — so the technology is defensible from inception, not as an afterthought.

4

Proof of Concept

Working proofs of concept that validate technical feasibility, demonstrate utility, and form the technical foundation for both patent applications and licensing conversations.

5

Transfer & Deployment

Licensing, co-development, or full transfer to the operators, ventures, or institutions best positioned to deploy the technology at scale — with ongoing technical support as required.

Who we work with

Two profiles.
One standard of rigor.

Profile 01

Early-stage deep tech ventures

Founders building in cybersecurity, AI, quantum, or hardware security who need access to foundational IP they cannot create from scratch — and the technical credibility that comes with nearly two decades of R&D behind it.

  • Licensing of foundational IP assets
  • Technical architecture validation
  • IP strategy and filing roadmap
  • Co-development of proprietary stacks
  • Investor-ready IP documentation
Profile 02

Industrial operators & institutions

Organizations deploying critical infrastructure who require proven, transferable technology rather than bespoke development — backed by the stability of a firm that has operated continuously since 2006.

  • Technology licensing for deployment
  • Full technology transfer packages
  • R&D mandates with IP assignment
  • Architecture advisory retainers
  • Long-term technical partnership
Why McCann Perkins

What nearly twenty years
actually means

Continuity in a volatile sector

Critical technology companies come and go. We have operated continuously since 2006 — through economic cycles, paradigm shifts, and the emergence of entirely new threat categories. Our IP portfolio reflects that continuity.

Built ahead of the curve

We began working on post-quantum cryptography before most security teams knew what a qubit was. We developed hardware authentication IP before supply chain attacks became front-page news. Foresight is not accidental — it is our method.

IP-first, always

Every technology we create is structured for defensibility from the first design decision. We do not build and then protect — we protect as we build. This distinction separates durable IP from technology that competitors will eventually replicate freely.

Engagements Licensing, R&D mandates, technology
transfer — by direct inquiry.

Selective by design

We have maintained a deliberately limited number of active engagements since 2006. This is not a constraint — it is a commitment to depth over volume. Every technology we build receives our full attention. Every licensing relationship is one we intend to maintain.

If you are working on a problem in our domains and believe there is a basis for collaboration, we welcome a direct inquiry. We respond to every serious outreach.
