Technical analysis of patent portfolios

• Overall analysis of large portfolios (several hundred) provides a clearer picture for litigation or licensing negotiations:
  
  • characterization of the portfolio under broad criteria agreed with our client
  • requires about 3 hours of work per patent
• Analysis of medium size portfolios (about 50 to 100 patents) provides a solid basis for litigation strategies or licensing negotiations
  
  • First assessment of essentiality or infringement
  • Quality assessment: Identification of strong and weak patents
  • Requires about 10 to 20 hours per patent
  • In addition a deeper analysis of selected patents will be performed.

Result of our work

• We provide profound analyses for our clients according to their requirements.
• We assist our clients in developing a litigation strategy based on the results of the portfolio analysis, e.g. revocation of selected patents which were identified as weak
