Intellectual Property Development Services
We help individual inventors and small companies develop their ideas into patentable subject matter. When an inventor brings us a napkin drawing, we begin discussing the drawing, the intended ideas behind it and the inventor's vision as to how it is to be applied. As we think about the idea, we go to the drawing board and begin drawing patent figures and preparing patent claims for the intended invention and brainstorm alternatives, options and other applications. We are looking to broaden the idea into one or more patentable subjects.
Intellectual Property Management Services
In the corporate world, patents are assets, and are bought and sold as such. We provide patent analysis services focused on determining the technical merit, usage of and potential usage of patents within a portfolio. Our electronics laboratory is equipped to teardown products and document evidence of usage. We document our findings using claim charts to clearly show how we read the claims and how a product does, or does not, potentially infringe.
Patent Litigation Services
Our litigation support services goes beyond expert reports and testimony. We provide legal staff with technical advice and sound arguments regarding their case. We provide background and prior art research, claim constructions and validity arguments based upon documentable facts.
