Mapping Innovation. Guiding Decisions.

The basis for a global understanding of risks and opportunities within a given field of technology is patent and technological landscape analysis. They provide valuable business insights — revealing the most important players in a technological industry and what solutions they provide, based on available patent and scientific data.

Why This Report Needed?

• →Understand who owns what in your technology space before committing R&D resources
• →Identify whitespace opportunities where innovation is unprotected and competition is low
• →Assess IP risk before entering a new technology domain or market
• →Support M&A decisions by evaluating a target's IP portfolio value and competitive position
• →Discover licensing opportunities and potential acquisition targets in adjacent technology areas

Technology Landscape / Whitespace Analysis may be two types depending on business strategy:

Tracking Tech. Driving Decisions.

Each year, companies and startups introduce hundreds of newer technologies. It's becoming increasingly hard — and equally important — to keep an eye on technology trends that can turn into threats and, if the right measures are taken, be converted into opportunities.

Why This Report Needed?

• →Encourage R&D activities by keeping abreast of latest technological advancements
• →Access up-to-date intelligence on relevant acquisitions and competitor moves
• →Track recent patent litigations and legal status of records relevant to your domain
• →Monitor newly issued patents and published applications that could affect your IP position
• →Trigger timely product modifications if an IP watch reveals potential infringement risks
• →Maintain continuous surveillance of competitors' technology and IP based on legal status

Scout Before Competitors Do

Top market players sustain their positions by continuously analyzing new technologies and evaluating them against ongoing ones. We help you scout emerging and future disruptive technologies — keeping your existing technology from becoming obsolete.

We live in an era where technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace. One of the biggest challenges is being competitive and innovative at the same time — tech scouting teams bridge that gap.

Why Technology Scouting?

• →Increase innovative strength by continuously identifying breakthrough technologies
• →Reduce disruption danger before emerging competitors reshape your market
• →Discharge internal R&D load by leveraging external technology pipelines
• →Identify emerging markets and strategic alliance opportunities early

Know Where You Stand Against the Competition

The process of comparing your company to certain competitors with a specific collection of metrics is competitive benchmarking. It is assessed to measure your company's performance and compare it over time with others. You may not always know who your actual competitors are — we evaluate additional benchmarking analyses to surface the full competitive picture.

Why Competitor Benchmarking?

• → Assess and analyze different technologies covered within a particular field
• → Recognize which players are at the forefront of key technologies
• → Compare the strength of your portfolio to competitor portfolios
• → Examine the portfolio of a specific high-importance competitor in depth

Build a Portfolio That Works for Your Business

Patent optimization services typically include patent valuations, facilitating portfolio sales or purchases, and gaining a better understanding of patent portfolios in terms of relevancy, value, scale, and other factors useful for culling irrelevant patents, identifying commercially significant patents, and aligning your IP with business goals.

Why This Report Needed?

• ? Which patents can you expand or evolve?
• ? Which patents are no longer needed or will become obsolete?
• ? Which are your most valuable patents?
• ? How do your patents align with business goals?
• ? What licensing, sale, or monetization opportunities exist?
• ? Where is the market headed and are you protected for that future?
• ? Are patents held for protection or defensively?

Turn Your IP into a Revenue Engine

Commercializing your patent portfolio helps generate revenue and build a strong IP position. We assist patent owners and partners all over the world in determining the value of their patent portfolio through visionary, data-driven approaches.

Why This Report Needed?

• →We help structure and optimize your IP portfolio to identify the right assets to monetize.
• →We bridge the gap between buyer and seller requests so both parties get the most out of IP transactions.
• →Matching you with the right seller or locating a patent portfolio in a specific technology area.

Know the IP Before You Commit

The assessment of a company's own or used IP, as well as third-party IP rights that may impact the business, is known as "IP due diligence."

When Due Diligence is Needed

• → Before asserting a portfolio — internal audit before patent assertion
• → Granting a loan on intellectual property
• → Company valuation for M&A
• → IP assets and patents valuation

A Data-Driven Roadmap to Outmanoeuvre Competitors

We deeply analyze the strength and weakness of your portfolio based on technical, legal, and commercial parameters. Effective organization of your patent portfolio helps evaluate potential business opportunities — and our SWOT output gives you a data-driven plan to disrupt your market.

Uncover What Already Exists Before You File

The report results may be useful in deciding future actions such as continuing research in the same direction, or modifying the path of action — saving time, money, and resources before a costly patent application is filed.

Why Prior Art Search?

• ✓ Save money on patent preparation and prosecution before filing
• ✓ File the best claims possible — not too broad or too narrow
• ✓ Expedite prosecution by lowering likelihood of office actions
• ✓ Help R&D teams find state-of-the-art and design around existing prior art
• ✓ Prevent wasted resources on inventions that cannot be patented

Novelty + Market Intelligence in One Report

Our preliminary study examines your invention disclosure in depth and provides a comprehensive report on the invention's novelty in comparison to patent and non-patent prior art. The most important prior art is identified, and a feature-by-feature comparison matrix is presented against the disclosed information.

The most relevant potential licensees, research funding sources, partners, and competitors are identified based on an understanding of the invention and the current marketplace.

Challenge Patents. Defend Your Business.

When a specific patent is being litigated, invalidity searches are used to find patents, non-patent literature, and products that could be used to challenge the novelty and inventiveness of a patent's claims. This can help with patent blocking and providing concrete evidence for a patent portfolio that could be useful for licensing or corporate acquisition.

Our invalidity/validity search reports have helped many clients — corporations, product manufacturers, and others — defend themselves against infringement suits and gain the freedom to operate.

Why Invalidation Search?

• ✓ Protect your business from infringement lawsuits
• ✓ Block patents that are invalid
• ✓ Overcome legal issues arising from your invention
• ✓ Continue developing innovations without being stymied

Know Who Is Using Your Innovation

Patent infringement analysis is used to determine whether corporations associated with a product or process can make, use, import, sell, or market a patented invention in a jurisdiction without infringing on another patent, as well as whether a product or process infringes on a patent.

Domain experts conduct infringement analysis, identifying the closest products or patents and providing arguments that may aid in proving whether a product infringes. The analysis helps companies create or reshape their products without infringing, and supports litigation strategy.

Why Infringement Analysis?

• ✓ Find out what products violate your intellectual property on the market
• ✓ Confirm your patent or portfolio for licensing, sales, or litigation
• ✓ Strengthen your position in licence negotiations

Launch with Confidence — Know Your Risks First

We identify claims for expired (in-force) patents in the subject matter that may be of interest to the customer on the basis of a brief invention disclosure or hypothetical claim. In addition to expired patents which may provide a safe harbour, active patents included in these searches may represent an infringement risk.

This search addresses both violations and concerns about patentability — designed to provide advice to a qualified lawyer and can be adjusted to meet the specific demands of the customer.

Why Freedom-to-Operate?

• ✓ Avoid costly product redesign or market deletion after launch
• ✓ Avoid paying damages to third parties for claimed patents
• ✓ In certain cases, avoid unnecessary licence fees
• ✓ Identify possible licensing options and contracts proactively
• ✓ Evaluate areas to guide your company's R&D strategy

Precisely Articulate Your Innovation

We provide patent prosecution services such as drafting utility patent specifications (provisional and non-provisional) and design patent specifications. Any business benefits from a properly written patent specification that covers all the main elements of any innovation.

We attempt to design the patent specification to satisfy the client's expectations — working to ensure the broadest possible coverage that cannot be circumvented by any third-party entity.

Why This Report Needed?

• →Complete/provisional specifications drafted for USPTO, EPO, JPO, PCT, India, and other jurisdictions.
• →Disclosure meetings conducted with inventors and attorneys to ensure full understanding of the inventive concept.
• →Every application is reviewed for semantic and syntactic correctness before delivery.

Visualize Your Innovation Precisely

Patent illustrations are a vital element of any patent application. We are well-equipped to have them created using CAD to suit the patent office's requirements. Our drafting team is made up of highly competent experts that have worked on drawings in a variety of technical domains.

Why Patent Illustrations Matter

• ✓ Every feature of your invention should be accurately depicted in your design patent drawings
• ✓ Patent drawings achieve the best possible disclosure
• ✓ Patent drawings must meet prescribed paper size, type, and margin standards
• ✓ Compliant drawings make the filing process smoother and faster

Navigate Office Actions with Expert Precision

The patent prosecution procedure begins when the patent office issues an office action following the submission of a patent application. The office action cites significant previous art, as well as grounds for allowing and/or rejecting certain claims. We create a response that contains arguments and/or amendments that meet the office action's requirements.

Why This Report Needed?

• →Non-Final Office Action Response — comprehensive arguments and amendments in response to first examiner rejections
• →Final Office Action Response — strategic responses to final rejections, including after-final practice and appeal preparation
• →ISR Response (PCT) — responding to International Search Reports and Written Opinions for PCT applications
• →Evaluation of novelty and establishment of acceptance grounds
• →Both technical and legal arguments on examiner's questions
• →Prior art acceptance/rejection depending on priority date analysis

Present Your Invention to the Right Audience

The marketing brochure contains the most important possible licensees, their contact information, products/patents, and market forecasts for the technological field. The marketing brochure is prepared to inform the customer (consumer/purchaser) that you have something useful to offer.

Why a Marketing Brochure?

Understand the Commercial Landscape for Your IP

The search may be small and customer-based, or very wide to cover the entire section of the market. By analyzing the product in detail, we discover major participants in that technological environment which can be possible licensing targets.

Why Market and Competitive Analysis?

• ✓ Help to identify market and major key players
• ✓ Uncover licensing and collaboration options
• ✓ Capture the attention of potential customers through well-designed insights

Protect Your Brand Before It's Yours

A trademark is a mark that may be visually displayed and used to differentiate a company's goods and services from those of others. Customers can use Trademark Search solutions to get the information they need before filing trademark applications. Furthermore, before launching products or services in new areas, product-driven businesses now conduct trademark searches as standard practice.

Why Trademark Search?

• ✓ Save time and money by avoiding infringement or rejection
• ✓ Trademarks are effective communication tools for your brand
• ✓ Trademarks allow businesses to effectively utilize the Internet and social media
• ✓ A unique marker of identity in your market

Protect the Look and Feel of Your Product

For original, fresh, and ornamental designs for an item, a design patent is available. It is valid for 14 years from the date of filing. It also permits an innovator to come up with a novel technique to develop a product that already exists. The design patent protects this one-of-a-kind design without affecting the item's utility patent.

Why This Report Needed?

• →Companies looking for better, novel designs
• →Businesses in the process of creating or releasing a new product
• →Parties who want to challenge a design's validity
• →Companies checking if a new product design infringes existing prior art
• →Consumer electronics, automotive, apparel, jewellery, and packaging industries
• →Our experts use apt selection and combination of design patent classes, subclasses, and visual keywords to produce relevant results
