The old way that enterprises determined the direction of their future R&D projects was based on identifying a new opportunity and spending money to have it developed. Companies and investors paid for development projects with little knowledge of what the competition was developing.

IP Checkups offers clients affordable opportunities to quickly define and evaluate a competitive market before investing in costly R&D and product development plans. We assess technology landscapes by identifying the range of players involved, the types of technologies already  patented and the new ones on which applications have been filed.

Our services provide clients with a significant competitive advantage as we determine where the concentrated areas of development reside within a particular landscape. This sheds light onto the direction in which the competition is headed, while simultaneously pointing out areas yet to be exploited within specific technology landscapes.

This investigative step is essential in today's competitive markets as it enables companies to see a complete picture of the current technology landscape BEFORE initiating R&D projects and new product development plans to AVOID costly mistakes.

Ultimately, IP Checkups helps companies develop strategic, cost effective R&D project initiatives, while avoiding and designing around patented inventions that already exist. We provide investors with  unique competitive insight enabling them to see how different players in a space are mapping out their future development programs.
