Our Key Services

PATENT PROSECUTION

Our experienced team will draft patent applications (provisional, non-provisional and PCT applications) to capture the inventive embodiments and prosecute them. A patent is only as good as what is claimed and how it is described in a patent application. A strong patent protection requires good patent application drafting skills. A good patent helps to prevent others from designing around patents. Our experienced team brings these skills in drafting patent applications.

PRIOR ART SEARCH/PATENTABILITY OPINION

We will help you to evaluate your invention and analyze whether it is patentable. It is imperative that you get patent protection before you market your invention or disclose it to the public. We will perform prior art searchs and provide opinions on inventive concepts and non-obviousness of your technology. We will help you to develop patent filing strategies in different jurisdictions to obtain maximum patent protection with low costs. In certain instances, it may be favorable to enter the market and monetize without any patent protection.

PATENT LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS

Our landscape analysis will help you to identify white space and develop your business strategy. Identifying the players in the area of your interest would help in your market entry. Our landscape analysis will also help you to identify the technologies that have been commercialized by your competitors. This will help you to develop suitable marketing plans for the markets that are untouched.

FREEDOM-TO-OPERATE ANALYSIS

We use technology-specific knowledge and expertise to understand your invention and its relevant key features. After a targeted search of curated databases, we provide you with a list of patents that may affect your freedom-to-operate. Detailed claim mapping is provided to help you understand why and what may or may not affect your freedom-to-operate. The analysis will help you to avoid infringing other patents.

PATENT DRAWINGS

Our team of illustrators with more than a decade of experience provide exceptional quality patent drawings that meet the requirements of patent offices all over the world for both utility and design patents. We use our experience to convert photographs and schematics to black and white line drawings with accepted shading formats to convey the features of your invention with clarity and matching their description. All perspectives covered for design patents to cover all the details.
