Infringement Analysis
Infringement analysis can help you identify potential targets for technology transfer and licensing.
A detailed infringement analysis and assertability study are crucial to support your licensing initiatives.
We use both machine searching tools along with the expertise of technical experts to identify the most potential technologies/ products for licensing.
Researchwire complements the efforts of in-house experts by providing new perspectives and opportunities for patent licensing. Our detailed EoU(Examination of Use) claim charts reduce the time needed for review opportunities
-
Prioritize & Rank
Subject patent(s) are prioritized and ranked, to identify the clusters with the highest licensing potential.
-
Identify
Potentially valuable underlying technologies which can be developed and successfully marketed in a reasonable timeframe are identified.
We help capture the business insights with our infringement analysis from the global patent data to make better decisions for protecting and commercializing innovation.
Chemical Structure Search
Chemical structure search in patent and non-patent literature documents is a very important and highly specialized task for researchers and scientists working in the field of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, and biochemistry
It is a useful tool for finding relevant prior art during patentability, FTO and Patent Landscape searches.
These searches are generally performed by pharmaceuticals or chemistry researchers to evaluate the novelty of their new chemical entities (NCEs) or other chemical structures like polymers.
Further, the chemical structure search is also performed by R&D professionals to identify all the literature documents available related to any chemical structure.
Chemical structure search requirements can be broadly classified into two categories:
Exact Structure Search
Performed using chemical structure of the molecule as well as by using its IUPAC names, common names, and CAS/Registry Numbers.
Markush Structure Search
Performed by highly specialized person with deep chemical domain expertise. It is a representation of chemical structures with variable substituents to specify groups of related chemical compounds.
Our Expertise
- Highly experienced team of specialized professionals (PhDs degree holder in chemistry) to perform all chemical structure search requirements.
- Perform the searches in a very cost-effective and time bound manner.
- Experience and capability of working on various databases like STN, Scifinder, ChemSpider, Patentscope and SureChemBL
IPR Support
The USPTO provides a host of administrative proceedings by which validity of a patent can be challenged.These procedures include Inter Partes Review (IPR), Post-Grant Review (PGR), and Ex Parte Re-examination. IPR was instituted by America Invents Act (AIA) and it replaces the prior proceeding of inter partes re-examination, for which petitions can no longer be filed.
AIA Options
An inter partes review of a patent is a type of administrative trial proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in which a third party has alleged the invalidity of at least one claim of an issued patent.
In recent years, re-examination has been increasingly used as an avenue to invalidate a patent in light of prior arts not known or appreciated at the time of examination.
The proceeding for an IPR is analogous to a shortened litigation. The entire procedure must statutorily be completed within 12 months from the grant of the petition, and six month extension, if required.
What are the benefits?
-
The Jury has highly technical and diverse backgrounds, which makes things easier.
-
IPR is faster and cheaper than going to court.
-
IPR is like a mini trial that is completed in 12-18 months and costs less than a full blown trial.
-
IPR can also be strategic,you can leverage it to enforce the patent owner on how they interpret the patent claims.
Is IPR right for you?
It depends upon the specifics of your patent or issue. To make an informed decision contact us
How We Can Help
- Extended Post-grant review(PGR) and Inter-parte review(IPR) support
- Prior-art search for re-examination, as well as charting the prior arts to claims, to clearly elucidate how the prior art invalidates the claims under scrutiny.
- Comprehensive analysis of patent claims and prosecution history, to exhaust left possibilities. Our domain experts have a vast experience of drafting IPR petitions for our clients that are ready to be filed.
- Intensive and diversified process and smart search strategies through which we appraise our clients with anticipatory prior art results, even in most critical and difficult cases
- Grading system usage to cover clients’ requirements and simultaneously, provide adequacy of the results in all other areas.
- Unique iterative search methods to assist in finding good references from content rich databases of foreign languages and Non-Patent literature.
Trademark Comprehensive Search
Trademark Comprehensive Search
There is an extremely thin line between success and failure, especially when it comes to choosing a name for a business or brand. A business’s brand name, logo, tagline, label, letter, etc., can be its Trademark, and before finalizing this key aspect of the business’s goodwill, it is critical to perform a comprehensive Trademark search.
A comprehensive Trademark search assesses the prospects of a proposed trademark successfully obtaining registration in a jurisdiction. Under this search, the existing marks are examined to rule out any similar or identical marks. It also helps in establishing the uniqueness and distinctiveness of a mark, which may otherwise be overlooked by an untrained or inexperienced eye.
Researchwire conducts comprehensive trademark searches by carefully examining the national trademarks registry and numerous paid/non-paid databases. Our team of trademark experts conducts an exhaustive analysis of such databases to yield accurate results and prepare detailed search reports with or without an opinion letter from a seasoned attorney analyzing such results.
Trademark Monitoring and Watch Services
Trademark Monitoring and Watch Services
Trademark watch involves monitoring similar/identical trademarks or potentially infringing marks that are registered or are in the process of registration by third parties. Trademark watch allows trademark owners to identify potential infringers of their mark promptly by keeping track of national trademark offices. Since time is of utmost importance in infringement matters, the earlier such marks are discovered, the more cost-effective and simpler it is for brands.
There are stringent deadlines for filing a notice of opposition in case of infringement, and brand owners need to vigilantly identify such marks and take necessary legal action. Our support team of experienced paralegals keeps a diligent track of such infringing marks and provides tailored monitoring support to clients.
Researchwire offers customized trademark watch and monitoring services to provide accurate market insights and result reports to trademark owners. With our global solutions, we serve as niche partners to our clients and help them take timely preventive actions in their infringement matters, saving them cost, time, and resources.
