About The Service
Organizations dedicate substantial resources to research and development, as well as to securing patents that protect their innovations. We specialize in helping our clients transform these investments into profitable returns by actively enforcing and safeguarding the legal rights associated with their intellectual property portfolios.
A patent provides the patent holder with specific legal rights, one of the most significant being the exclusive ability to commercialize and control the use of their invention for a set period—typically twenty years. This exclusivity is a powerful tool for securing a competitive edge in the market.
One of the key strategies for monetizing patents is through conducting thorough patent infringement searches. Patent infringement occurs when another entity, whether intentionally or unintentionally, uses, manufactures, or sells a product or service that incorporates the patented elements of an invention without permission. By identifying instances of infringement, patent holders can take legal action to protect their rights, potentially leading to licensing agreements, settlements, or other forms of financial compensation. This process not only defends the integrity of the patent but also turns legal protection into a direct revenue stream.
Approach
Following phases are performed for an infringement search
Review the patent and identify the broadest claim
Begin with a comprehensive understanding of the subject patent by reviewing its claims, specification, file wrapper, and related documents. Next, identify the broadest independent claim, along with the key elements and novel aspects of the claim.
Determine the potential infringers
Identify potential infringers and analyze their products or technologies to determine if they may be infringing on the patent.
Examine the accused product or technology
Analyze the accused product or technology in detail to identify its features, components, or steps. This process involves a comprehensive review, including examining detailed product documentation and conducting product teardowns.
Compare the accused product or technology to the patent claims
Compare the elements of the patent claims with the features of the accused product or technology to determine whether each claim element is present in the accused product or technology.
Assessing the level of infringement
Assign an infringement level ranking to each patent based on its relation to the accused product. The levels are categorized as High, Medium, or Low. A High rating indicates complete infringement mapping, a Medium rating signifies partial infringement mapping that includes novel claim elements, and a Low rating means no infringement mapping is present.
Drafting the Analysis Report
Finally, prepare a report that includes analysis comments, details of target products, source links, and the infringement level. This report will provide a clear understanding of each patent and the results of the infringement search
