FILE & SMILE

The currency of reciprocity.

Turn outbound filings into inbound growth.

Don't just file. Invest. File & Smile™ converts your routine filing activity into IP Credits™. It is the fuel that powers your growth inside The Circle.

The engine needs fuel.

You have stepped inside The Circle. Now you need to build momentum.

Most firms treat Global filing as a cost center. alva turns it into capital. Through File & Smile™, every case you execute generates tangible value. It is not just a loyalty program—it is your ticket to new business.

Your Contribution = IP Credits™ = New Cases

How IP Credits™ work.

Think of it like a frequent flyer program for the legal industry. You earn miles (Credits) by flying (Filing), and you redeem them for free flights (Incoming Cases).

Earn them automatically

Every time you file a patent or pay a renewal through alva, you accrue credits instantly. No forms. No claiming. Just execution.

Exchange for Inbound Cases

This is the core of Circle Reciprocity™. You use your IP Credits™ to claim qualified inbound work. Instead of spending money on business development, you simply redeem your credits to acquire new cases matched to your firm—turning your outbound filing budget into a direct source of new revenue.

Hold to gain Rank

Your accumulation of credits signals your commitment. Higher credit balances improve your standing in the matching engine, ensuring you get "first look" access to the best opportunities.
