Evidence of Use (EOU) Analysis

If you suspect that any of your patent assets are being violated, or if you are in the process of selling patent assets, evidence of use study can be helpful in assessing the overlapping products.

Identifying the patents to license-in and license-out, as well as assessment of overlap between claims of a patent to be licensed and corresponding product suite, is crucial for a licensing negotiation.

To check that your product unknowingly infringing on others patents or to avoid trolls threats.

Sometimes it is used to find net present value of patent using product cash flows.

Many technologies use common subsystems or methods of achieving their means, so patent and product literature studies are critical to identifying the right target companies.

Potential Infringement Investigations

Evaluate whether competing products or technologies may potentially infringe your patent portfolio by identifying technical evidence corresponding to individual claim limitations.

Licensing and Monetization

Support licensing negotiations by demonstrating how patented technologies are implemented in commercial products and identifying high-value licensing opportunities.

Litigation Preparation

Develop technically substantiated claim charts that assist legal counsel in evaluating potential infringement positions, pre-litigation investigations, and enforcement strategies.

Freedom-to-Operate Risk Assessment

Assess whether a proposed product or technology may potentially fall within the scope of third-party patent claims, helping organizations identify and mitigate infringement risks during product development.

Patent Valuation

Strengthen patent valuation analyses by identifying commercial products that potentially practice patented technologies, providing valuable insights for investment, acquisition, licensing, and portfolio monetization decisions.

Competitive Technology Analysis

Identify products, companies, and technologies implementing patented innovations to gain competitive intelligence, monitor market adoption, and understand technology trends within a particular industry.
