Patent Landscape Analysis In Patent landscape analysis we provide an analysis of thousands of protected inventions from an eye of “what sense does it make” in order to realize the crowded areas, white spaces, key players and R&D activities, competitor patenting and research activities, potential clearance issues for new products and more such insights.

Typically, a patent landscape analysis involves understanding the subject technology, finding relevant patents and non-patent literature by employment of search strategies and finally categorization of results in form of a technology tree www.einfolge.com

along with graphical illustrations for easier comprehension. Our landscape report provides insights on patenting trends across various jurisdictions, identifies prolific inventors, top assignees, budgetary spend, shift in technologies of interest, and any other area of specific interest to our clients.

Portfolio Analysis In portfolio analysis, we answer to your questions like where is the value in your patent portfolio. Our portfolio analysis involves a customized review of your company’s portfolio by combining and overlaying an understanding of strategic (core/non-core) patents with an eye on their strength and value, a detailed portfolio segmentation can be developed.

The portfolio analysis is done to understand how the patents map to products and strategic business goals and most importantly identify the relevant strength of all patents within the portfolio regardless of their product or strategic value to their owners.

Our portfolio analysis will enable clients to make informed strategic decisions typically relating to patent filings, prosecution, patent abandonment, acquisition, divestiture, licensing, reexaminations, and litigation matters to help align the client’s IP vision with its business strategies. In addition, our analysis also helps in assisting clients to identify patents that are directly related to their products/services, potential candidates for licensing, and those technologies that no longer have commercial viability.

Competitive Intelligence Competitive Intelligence gives insights into what might happen in the near future. Analysis of Intellectual Property holdings may reveal a great deal about us a competing corporation's technology strategies.

This process involves stages from data to information to intelligence by selection, collection, interpretation and distribution of publicly-held information that has strategic importance. It is an analytical process that transforms disaggregated competitor intelligence into relevant, accurate and usable strategic knowledge about us competitors, position, performance, capabilities and intentions. The information extracted from competitor IP includes identification of collaborators, inventor records, R&D direction and potential licensees.

Our Watch Reports assist clients in making informed strategic decisions in connection with, for example, their own IP development and strategic prosecution.

Patent Valuation Patent valuation along with other intangible asset valuations plays a large role in determining the overall value of a company. The valuation of patents is not specific to certain industries or businesses, and in some instances, placing a value on patents is required. We are experienced in providing accurate patent valuation services to a broad range of businesses across several different industries. We review client’s patent portfolio and assign metrics that support ranking and filtering on criteria such as relative technological strengths and weaknesses, future potential value, and potential licensing opportunities.

Our valuation services basically helps businesses to understand the value of their IP by providing a value estimate for client’s issued patent or published patent application based on ranking parameters such as forward and reverse citations, remaining life, number of claims, length of the independent claims, claim strength, market score, technology score, and commercial score.

IP Asset Management Development and management of IP has become a primary concern of private enterprise, especially in the fast growing areas of technology. IP assets when properly managed can provide a variety of advantages including generation of additional revenues from licensing and increased product sales, complements research and development efforts, attracts funding for R&D, enhances corporate valuation and provide bargaining power during technology transfer negotiations.

Intellectual asset management system supports the full lifecycle of activities for all types of IP assets, including patents, trade secrets, publications, trademarks, domain names and copyrights. www.einfolge.com

Unlike traditional docketing systems, our software addresses the business aspects of IP, not just the legal aspects. Our system gives visibility and access to internal and external participants.

IP Audit IP audit basically provides a systematic review of a company’s IP assets and related risks and opportunities. In addition, IP audit reviews the company’s IP-related agreements, policies and procedures, and competitors’ IP. Its purpose is to uncover underutilized IP assets, to identify any threats to a company’s bottom line, and to enable business planners to devise informed strategies that will maintain and improve the company’s market position.

Our intellectual property audit service provides an assessment of the value of the intangible assets to the extent that such value depends on the legal right to those assets. The audit examines and evaluates the strengths and weaknesses. IP audits can be triggered by a company’s need to assess IP rights and risks involved in acquisition or launch of new product or service, expanding into new markets, assessing the impact and potential value of licensing, company’s valuation prior to merger or joint venture and in assessing possible consequences of third party infringement.
