Further Details of Patent Studies

It is vital to understand properly the business issues facing the client organisation in order to align the analysis of the patent landscape with the needs of a particular type of study.

Patent Mapping is used by PatAnalyse as a universal tool for the visualisation of the patent portfolio created during the course of a particular study. At the very early stages of each project, PatAnalyse works closely with the client’s team, in order to understand the set of questions which should be addressed in the study. The experience of PatAnalyse with Patent Mapping studies is rooted in many consultancy projects for big corporations undertaking strategic reviews before diversifying into new business areas or executing technical due-diligence studies before major acquisitions.

• Litigation support
  We provide key evidence to help to nullify claims of patents advanced by ‘patent trolls’ in potentially disastrous legal actions against our clients
  
• Freedom to Operate Study
  A well executed FTO analysis provides a relatively accurate risk assessment and can facilitate smart business decisions by the client organisation.
  
• Due-diligence for in-licensing
  Our approach to due-diligence in-license assignments is similar to that of Freedom to Operate studies as it includes an assessment of any potential blocking patents
  
• International R&D trends
  In such studies the 'big picture' revealed by the Patent Maps is complemented with a detailed analysis of each top company and each technology clusters
  
• Strategic Portfolio Alignment
  Separating key patents from low value assets and understanding the role of different patent bundles can help to organise the portfolio and maximise its value
