Patent claims can be missed during the search because of the generalized keywords used in the document. Also, it is very important to conduct an exclusive search on individual key features of the product. We break down the features of the product into different categories and run an exclusive search to identify all possible results mapping onto each of the category. Exclusively analyzing patents belonging to NPEs or entities who have been active in patent litigation is our top-most priority. We document all results with the legal status, family member information, and claims which are overlapping with the key features of the product.

Many a times, prior-arts are inaccurately mapped to the claims of the subject patent to nullify their assertions mainly because of wrong assumptions of the technical scope of the prior-arts and inappropriately claiming the similarity between the evidence and the limitations of the claims. We define the scope legal terminologies used in the patent by analyzing the specification of the patent. We focus on identifying the technical gaps and scope of the legal terminologies and elaborate the differences to rebut the assertions of invalidity analysis and document our findings in an easy-to-read report.

Many a times, a claim chart is prepared by overlooking elements of the claim clauses and mapped based on insufficient evidence or wrong assumptions on the working of the product. We take a deep dive into the claim chart and identify the technical gaps between the scope of the patent claims and evidence used in the product to nullify the plaintiff’s assertion on patent infringement.

Our first step is to identify a reason of allowance of the subject patent by reviewing the prosecution history. Our aim is to search for reference, either an individual or in combination, destroying the claims of the patent. We search in various databases such as patent, non-patent, standard documents, documents submitted during the meetings, rejected documents and videos, tutorials, and conference materials.

We prepare a pitch deck for patent licensing purposes comprising market and financial information, graphical information depicting technical details of the patent, claim charts, and list of potential buyers.

We identify relevant evidence of an active product from credible sources such as manuals, product description, tear down reports, videos and likewise with respect to each element of the patent claim. We provide a detailed mapping of each element of the patent clause with evidence and complement with the summary of the analysis.

It is a tedious task. Literature related to a product is written/presented in a different style and it becomes challenging to identify a feature of the product which is not explicitly mentioned.

High-Medium-Low analysis is to uncover commercialization potential of a portfolio. Our focus is on shortlisting patents in a portfolio having a higher probability of licensing to a third party. Our aim is to analyze the quantitative and qualitative parameters of patent claims and corelating with the current market information, alignment with relevant products to determine its monetization potential. Any patent claims found to be relevant to the products selling in the jurisdiction of interest is rated as “High”.
