Patent Drafting and Filing

From a patent perspective, an invention is what it claimed to be. Therefore drafting a patent application is not just science and technology, it is an art. The art of describing and claiming the invention in light of relevant prior inventions revealed during the search stage. Our collective experience of drafting nearly 200 patent applications in various domains ensures our capability of finding the “needles in the hay” and drafting accordingly. We also prepare patent drawings, being thus one-stop shop for all your patent needs.

Our network of associates allows us to address all client’s international needs and filings, including PCT. Moreover, our language diversity provides us with capability of searching various industrial domains, rather than only English ones.

Patentability Searches

Literally, addresses the question whether the invention is patentable. Moreover, it will allow to see what’s already exist “in the field”, and to avoid “pit holes” while drafting patent application. Patentability search involves both patent and non-patent literature.

Freedom to Operate Searches Freedom-To-Operate searches help to identify whether a product may

infringe an existent patent. Prior to launching a product in a given jurisdiction/s, companies generally get a jurisdiction-specific Freedom-To-Operate search conducted for all the features of the product to avoid any legal hassles of infringement.

Validity SearchesA validity search involves conducting a patent and non-patent literature search to identify prior art literature that might affect the validity of a patent. Such studies are, generally, conducted:• To verify whether a patent, which one might be accused of infringing, is valid or not, OR• To check the validity of a competitor’s patent deemed strong

Technology Landscape/ Design Around Studies Technology Landscape involves analysis of all the patents

pertaining to a technology domain of interest. This study is generally conducted when one wants

• To determine the focus of R&D,• To venture into a particular technology,• To know of the latest advancements, and• To explore the alternative options for designing around an

obstacle This study reveals the main players in the domain, the

most sought after markets in that domain, changing market focus, the trend with which the technology is moving, and the technology sub-domains that are less crowded.

Competitive Intelligence Competitive Intelligence (CI) is an inseparable component

of any company's marketing and R&D strategy. We base the CI on patents/patent applications of the competitors, since patents are the only documents where a company would publish the information related to its technical innovations in detail.
