Our IPR Services
We streamline your IP operations
-
Enhance IP Capture and Protection
We provide a low-threshold entry point for tech companies to establish an IP management system. We actively participate in the development of patents, and work closely with the R&D teams.
-
Comprehensive IP Facilitation
We manage all IP-related matters, including cost control and invoice verification, allowing your management and R&D teams to focus on core responsibilities. We engage with patent agencies for quality assurance and access to their global networks.
-
Cost-effective IP Management
We draft initial patent applications and responses to patent office actions, and handle tasks usually done by patent agencies - at a lower rate. We reduce the need to rely on internal resources and external agencies.
-
Cultural Impact and IP Awareness
We help foster an IP-aware culture, spread knowledge and best practices, and help establish a system to capture and protect valuable intellectual property.
Comprehensive IP support for your organization
-
Wide discovery process
Hidden ideas often emerge too late for patent filing. Our solution involves regular idea harvesting workshops with tech teams, fostering a proactive discovery process. This not only brings ideas to light but also shifts developers' mindsets about patents.
We systematically track and prioritize inventions based on patentability and business relevance.
-
Patent portfolio development
Align your patent portfolio in-line with your business needs and your technological and strategic objectives.
By working closely with R&D and the management team, we help you make informed decisions on when to file inventions and when to streamline the portfolio in response to evolving circumstances.
-
Freedom to Operate analysis
An FTO (Freedom to Operate) analysis evaluates the risk of infringing on others' patents or intellectual property rights, minimizing legal battles and operational disruptions.
It enhances understanding of the competitive landscape, identifies obstacles in product development, and reduces risks for the company, investors, partners, and customers.
-
Patent litigation support
Global success often invites patent lawsuits, which creates anxiety, diverts resources and causes shareholder concerns. Clearly an unsustainable situation.
In addition to legal expertise, you will need technologists to interpret third-party patents. We assist you from a technology point of view to resolve the patent lawsuit in the most favorable way in the shortest possible time.
-
Alternative to patents
IPR is more than patents. Sometimes your unique feature is not patentable. Sometimes you would like to keep your solutions confidential beyond the standard 18-months patent disclosure period.
We provide independent guidance on the optimal protection strategy based on the situation, drawing on our experience with Open Source, copyright, trade secrets, design protection, and more.
-
IP manager "as a Service"
To increase speed and reduce cost, we can manage all “in-house” IP work and most of the IP agency workload. We establish a process to raise awareness of the strategic importance of IPR and to map out the IPR landscape.
We also lead the process of distilling your uniqueness into actual IPR: We draft the concrete patent applications in close collaboration with the inventors, and handle all communication with the Patent Offices and Agencies.
