Prior Art Search
Invalidity and Validity Search
Assess Patent Strength with Precision and Confidence.
Our Invalidity and Validity Search services help evaluate the strength and enforceability of a patent by identifying prior art that either challenges or supports its novelty and non-obviousness. Whether you’re engaged in litigation, licensing negotiations, acquisitions, or opposition proceedings, we deliver comprehensive, evidence-backed search results designed to withstand rigorous legal scrutiny.
Our services includes:
- Targeted prior art identification — uncover relevant references that can be used to challenge a competitor’s patent during litigation, inter partes review (IPR), or opposition proceedings.
- Patent strength verification —assess the validity of your own or third-party patents prior to enforcement, licensing, acquisition, or investment decisions.
- Comprehensive prior art analysis — conducted across global patent databases, scientific literature, industry standards, and product disclosures to ensure thorough and reliable results.
- Claim-by-claim mapping — prior art is systematically aligned with each element of the asserted claims, supported by detailed technical analysis and legal rationale.
- Jurisdiction-specific expertise — extensive experience with the formats, standards, and procedural requirements of the U.S., European, and Indian patent offices.
Claim Charts
Transform Patent Claims into Clear, Actionable Insight.
We deconstruct patent claims into individual elements and meticulously map them to real-world products, technical standards, or prior art references. Whether you’re preparing for enforcement, licensing, invalidation, or litigation, our detailed, attorney-ready claim charts provide the clarity and evidence needed to move forward with confidence and precision.
Our services includes:
- Element-by-element mapping — align each claim element with specific features of a potentially infringing product or service, supported by visual and documentary evidence for maximum clarity and impact.
- Prior art linkage — connect prior art disclosures directly to individual patent claim elements to effectively challenge novelty and non-obviousness in validity or opposition proceedings.
- Non-infringement analysis — demonstrate how specific claim limitations are not met by the accused product, supporting a strong rebuttal against infringement allegations.
- Standards mapping — align patent claims with specific sections of technical standards (e.g., 3GPP, IEEE) to identify and support the assertion of Standard-Essential Patents (SEPs).
- Claim interpretation support — analyze and break down complex claim language to assist courts and legal teams in understanding claim scope, meaning, and legal implications.
Ex/Inter Parte Examination
Strengthen Your Position in Contested Patent Proceedings.
We offer comprehensive technical and strategic support during Ex Parte and Inter Partes proceedings, including patent reexaminations, post-grant oppositions, and inter partes reviews (IPR). Whether you’re defending your own patent or challenging the validity of another, our experienced team delivers high-quality, evidence-backed analysis to reinforce your position and maximize your chances of success throughout the process.
Our services includes:
- Relevant prior art identification—locate the most impactful patents, publications, and product disclosures to support your challenge or rebuttal in contested proceedings.
- Detailed claim mapping — align each claim element with prior art references (for invalidity) or product features (for non-infringement defense), supported by clear technical reasoning.
- Expert opinion and declaration support — assist in drafting technically sound expert reports and declarations tailored to the requirements of patent office or court proceedings.
- Claim restructuring support — revise and refine claim language to address examiner rejections while preserving enforceability and strategic claim breadth.
- Response strategy and analysis — review oppositions, office actions, and counterarguments to develop technically robust and strategically aligned responses.
Claim Construction
Clarify Claim Scope with Expert Construction Analysis.
We offer specialized Claim Construction services to define the precise scope and meaning of patent claims. Whether you’re engaged in litigation, licensing, prosecution, or PTAB proceedings, our detailed technical analysis helps legal teams craft strong, defensible interpretations that align with both the inventor’s intent and legal requirements—enhancing the effectiveness of your overall IP strategy.
What We Provide:
- Granular claim analysis — break down each claim term and phrase to interpret structural elements, scope boundaries, and functional language with precision.
- Contextual interpretation — analyze the patent specification, prosecution history, and cited references, supplemented by technical literature, expert insights, and dictionary definitions to ensure accurate claim construction.
- Pre-trial claim interpretation support — deliver technically robust analyses and claim term comparisons to assist courts and legal teams during Markman hearings and other pre-trial construction proceedings.
- Impact assessment of claim interpretations—evaluate how alternative constructions influence key outcomes such as infringement, validity, and overall enforceability.
- Strategic claim positioning — support patent owners and challengers in framing claim interpretations that strengthen their position during enforcement, defense, or reexamination proceedings.
