Invalidity Search

Revoking a patent is a challenging task. You must identify prior art documents the examiner missed during the prosecution phase.

We deliver detailed reports that include prior art, whether individual or combined, which can contest the granted claims.

Our initial step involves analysing the prosecution history to identify the reasons for the patent’s approval.

We seek references that, either alone or in combination, invalidate the patent’s claims.

To compile a thorough research report, our research spans various databases, including patents, non-patents.

FTO Analysis

Conducting a thorough FTO is crucial for product launches and developing effective design strategies. Patent claims can be overlooked during searches due to the generalized keywords used in claims. Additionally, performing a focused search on the individual key features of the product is very important.

We categorize the product features and execute dedicated patent searches to identify all possible results corresponding to each category.

Document all findings, including legal status, family member information, and claims that overlap with the product’s key features.

Claim Chart for SEPs

If you are looking to monetize your patents by joining a patent pool, cross-licensing, outbound licensing, or litigation, you must have good claim charts against standard documents. Claim charts clearly show whether your patents are essential to the standard or optional or implementer-dependent patents.

We prepare detailed claim charts on standards. The most crucial aspect of the claim chart is mapping an inventive step of the independent claim.

Break down the claim into individual claim elements and map each element of the claim clause with the evidence from the specification documents.

Ensure that we cite specification document published after the priority date of the patent.

Highlight whether the mapped feature is essential or optional to the standard.

Patent/Technology Watch

We provide continuous monitoring of new patent filings, emerging technologies, and competitor activities. This helps your R&D team stay well-informed to act quickly and make strategic decisions.

Whether you are safeguarding a key patent or identifying possible threats, we assist you in making informed decisions.

Regular updates on published applications and granted patents in your technology.

Detailed insights into the patenting activities of key industry players.

Notifications of changes in legal status, such as grants, expirations, lapses, or reassignments.

Infringing Product Identification / EOU Preparation

Finding infringing products is a complex and time-consuming task. We believe that one missed target means missing a colossal opportunity.

We follow a three-step approach for this.

Find market verticals for the embodiments of the specification and the major players in each vertical.

Find active products for each market vertical with a launch date after the patent’s priority date.

Perform H/M/L analysis for each product for the claims of the subject patent.

Patent Landscape Study

A Comprehensive analysis of patent data can drive meaningful insights. The most crucial component of a landscape study is its taxonomy, which requires special attention to the study’s purpose to ensure accuracy.

We follow manual and automated approaches to prepare patent landscape reports.

Our proprietary tool creates detailed infographics.

Written report of our findings.

Patent Drafting

Filing a provisional patent application is strategically important to secure an early filing date for the invention. If you want a provisional application to get extra time to do a thorough prior-art search later, to put it in your pitch deck, to add more features to your invention, or for any other purpose, we can do it for you.

Write a comprehensive provisional patent application with drawings.

High-level independent and dependent claims.

Description section with as many embodiments as possible.

Patent Drawings

Whether you need utility patent drawings or design patent drawings, we do them avidly. We understand different patent offices’ margin requirements, numbering, or shading rules.

Knowledge of margin requirements, numbering, and shading rules of USPTO, EPO, PCT, and IPO.

Well verse to convert 2D, hand drawn images, or CAD drawings into ready-to-use patent drawings.

IDS Management

An Information Disclosure Statement (IDS) is a formal submission by a patent applicant to the USPTO, providing prior art or other relevant information for the examination of a patent application. It ensures that the patent examiner has access to all known information when assessing the invention’s novelty and uniqueness.

Why It Matters?

Transparency: Submitting an IDS shows good faith and builds trust with the patent office by disclosing all relevant prior art.

Improved Examination: Sharing relevant prior art helps the examiner conduct a thorough review, reducing the risk of missing important details and strengthening the patent.

Legal Protection: Proper disclosure lowers the risk of legal issues, such as claims of inequitable conduct, and enhances the patent’s enforceability.
