In-Depth IP Research
Transform raw data into decisive action: comprehensive patentability assessments, Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) analysis, competitive intelligence mapping, and invalidity searches—all delivered as decision-ready insights.
Capabilities
Actionable research built for critical strategic decision-making and comprehensive innovation management.
Patentability & Prior Art Searches
Comprehensive novelty and non-obviousness examinations conducted across global patent databases and non-patent literature to rigorously validate filing positions.
Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) Analysis
Detailed, jurisdiction-specific infringement risk reviews of active patents, accompanied by tactical guidance for navigating or designing around existing intellectual property rights.
Competitive Intelligence & Landscape
Continuous tracking of competitor filings, R&D vectors, standards activity, and white-space analysis to inform future roadmaps and refine market positioning.
State of the Art & Invalidity
Deep-dive prior-art investigations specifically designed to support invalidity challenges, formal oppositions, or robust defensive patenting strategies.
Our Approach
A methodology that is repeatable, rigorously defensible, and intrinsically business-aligned.
Objectives & Coverage
We clarify precise objectives, relevant technologies, applicable industry standards, and target jurisdictions, defining the exact criteria for 'decision-ready' insight.
Multi-Source Evidence Gathering
We conduct comprehensive searches across global patent and Non-Patent Literature (NPL) sources, cluster results effectively, and rigorously assess legal/technical relevance with claim-level granularity.
Strategic Options & Next Steps
We translate findings into concrete strategy: recommending whether to file, refine existing claims, design-around competitors, license technology, challenge third-party rights, or defer action—all presented with clear timelines and associated costs.
Deliverables
Clear, decision-usable outputs meticulously tailored to key stakeholders.
Decision Brief
An executive summary providing concise risk ratings, identification of key prior art, and clearly articulated recommended actions.
Evidence Dossier
A meticulously annotated prior-art set complete with detailed claim charts, relevance notes, and comprehensive bibliographic data.
Claim-Level Maps
Detailed feature matrices that precisely map product or specification elements against cited prior art for enhanced clarity and alignment.
Jurisdictional View
A strategic overview of active patent statuses, expiry windows, and territorial exposure to inform robust Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) planning.
Impact
Research that moves strategy forward.
*Timelines depend on complexity and breadth of technologies/jurisdictions.
FAQs
Which sources do you search?
We search comprehensive global patent databases (including US, EP, CN, JP, and WIPO), alongside relevant non-patent literature (such as technical journals, industry standards, academic theses, and web technical documentation), calibrated precisely to the defined project scope
Can you do claim charts for FTO/invalidity?
Yes. We rigorously prepare element-by-element claim charts complete with detailed citations and commentary, formatted for seamless review by legal counsel.
How do you tailor outputs for different teams?
Executive leadership receives concise, one-page decision briefs; R&D and legal teams are provided with detailed dossiers, comprehensive charts, and complete dataset exports.
Do you support post-search actions?
We provide robust support for subsequent strategic actions, including filing strategy formulation, design-around planning, licensing option analysis, opposition support, and expert referrals when necessary.
