Prior to spending money on new R&D initiatives, we recommend looking closely at competitive patent landscapes to see who is spending money on which new innovations and at what rate.

We provide R&D and business decision makers with key insights, and actionable solutions related to identifying opportunities or obstacles within technology landscapes and executing a strategy.

We will dig deep into an existing portfolio to explore outlicensing opportunities or identify patents needed from prospective licensors to increase a company’s revenue or competitive position..

Licensing can generate additional revenue opportunities and can strengthen a companies competitive position. Decision making is made easier with a clear view of the entire patent landscape

This is done to assess the prospective defensibility of a single patent or a portfolio of patents in the context of the larger competitive patent landscape.

We help you understand the level of ease or difficulty involved with asserting a patent or defending against an invalidity or reexamination challenge.

Analysis of what patents were cited by others, or what patents cite other patents and the frequency of cites during the patent’s lifetime offers valuable information for making strategic business decisions.

Our experts review citation rates to quickly identify key patents in an area, identify potential licensees and evidence of use, and track the evolution of a particular technology over time.

Tech Tables and patent-product matrices are tables that match patents with specific products or technologies. Our experts can generate automated queries or manually map patents to products and technologies.

Tech tables are useful in identifying which patents protect and relate to products or technologies in your product portfolio. This helps you to further align strategic patent portfolio development with your business objectives.

It is critical for business executives and product managers to understand whether others are using your technology while ensuring that you are not using others’.
