What we do
• By listening carefully to our clients we reach intimate understanding of the scope of innovation and intellectual property landscape to be analyzed.
• We work by the side of the client to identify critical areas of the client’s product features, or processes that maybe exposed to risk that commercialization is blocked by a competitor’s patent.
• We collaborate with the client’s expert team in carrying out the search and analysis of relevant issued or pending patents that may limit the freedom to operate.
• We provide complementary information to the client from our broader knowledge and information search of the published market information, in order to build the most comprehensive documentation and analysis on the relevant prior art.
• We work with the client to draw-up recommendations for obtaining a legal opinion, carrying out an analysis of the feasibility of product changes that may provide workaround innovations, and for making an assessment of the risks and likelihood of success of an approach to the patent owners.
