Areas of Focus
Today, the IP industry is changing more rapidly than ever. Our firm stays up-to-date on all the judicial and regulatory changes that affect your IP strategy. We provide customized work products individually tailored to meet the strategic needs, and budget, of your business. We will work with you to develop targeted plan which leverages a creative approach to minimize costs whenever possible. Our strategic analysis process maximizes value while providing opportunity-focused results.
Patent Analysis
We analyze your portfolio using the most up-to-date case law, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each patent whether you're planning for litigation, assertive licensing negotiations, or a purchase/sale transaction. We apply a broad array of quality metrics, including claim scope, degree of novelty, likelihood of current or future use, ease of detection, market size and competitor's cost to implement workarounds.
Claim Charting
We offer a range of claim chart products, from simple marketing-level overviews showing usage of your technology by competitors, to highly detailed claim charts which meet the Rule 11 standard for federal patent suits.
Network Traffic Analysis
We offer network traffic analysis services for a broad range of wired and wireless interfaces. Our techniques can differentiate between binary data packets and encrypted packets based on the degree of entropy in the underlying payload data.
Inter partes review
We understand that IPR expert declarations must be more than just one expert's opinion: they must be supported by evidence, facts and data. We will work with you to assess prior art references and all available evidence, and create an informed and persuasive expert declaration.
Reverse Engineering
In cases where inferential detection is not possible, we offer a variety of reverse engineering services. Our expertise includes computer hardware and software, smartphones, smart TVs, game consoles and other consumer electronics. We will work with you to develop a targeted approach which avoids unnecessary costs.
Evidence of Use
We perform infringement analysis for licensing negotiations, anticipated litigation, and purchase/sale transactions. In many cases, it's possible to perform inferential detection of a technology in a competitor's product through a combination of comprehensive analysis of technical literature, and performing functional, "black box" analysis without having to resort to full product teardown.
PATENT INVALIDATION
We offer prior art searches at several price points, from our most affordable survey-level art search to a full scorched-earth search for invalidating references. We will provide a claim invalidity chart indicating which claim elements have been previously used or described, along with detailed evidence.
