Infringement Analysis & Claim Charting

Why do you require a “Patent Infringement Search”?

• Identifying products that infringe upon patented technology
• Strategically evaluating and curating patents essential to an organization’s portfolio
• Licencing opportunities by spotting your most valuable patents
• Earn revenue from emerging players in the industry
• Monetize patents prior to their obsolescence

What are the “search objectives” of Patent Infringement?

• Patent prosecution history is examined by checking the file-wrapper
• Identify products that violate patents with launch dates predating the patent’s earliest priority date
• Evaluating product manuals, datasheets, white papers, and official documentation
• Assist clients in securing licenses, generating royalties, or facilitating patent sales by highlighting the significant potential of their patented technology

How we identify “high potential patents”?

Over time, we at AntliaIP have developed unique strategies to uncover the technology utilized by the Target Company or product. We reconstruct a comprehensive technology timeline to assess whether the target company has engaged in producing infringing products in relation to the patent’s earliest priority date. This distinctive methodology ensures that each search is unparalleled.

At AntliaIP, Infringement Analysis is conducted in the two phases:

Phase I – Quick Infringement Search

• • In-depth understanding of the patent (encompassing the broadest embodiment of the invention)
  • Selecting the patent’s most comprehensive claim for the infringement search
  • Conducting a quick search on the broadest claim to verify infringement
  • Ranking patents based on their infringement levels as:

Level 1 (Likely Infringing)

Level 2 (May be Infringing)

Level 3 (Unlikely Infringing)

*Note: Assigning a rating from Level 1 to Level 3 (“Level 1” representing the highest rating).

Phase II – Detailed Infringement Search Analysis 

• • Detailed search for identifying infringing companies and their infringing products is performed.
  • In-depth understanding of the patent (encompassing every embodiment of the invention)
  • Examination of the patent’s file wrapper (Uncovering exact novelty)
  • Claim interpretation from a legal stand-point
  • Selecting the patent’s broadest claim for the purpose of the infringement search
  • Identifying key competitors and major players within the subject patent’s industry
  • Conducting an exhaustive search for each competitor’s products to validate infringement
  • Creating a list of shortlisted Infringing products

When is the appropriate time to carry out a patent infringement analysis?

Have you encountered any of these challenges? If so, consider conducting a patent infringement search for the following reasons:

• • In case amendments to a claim are needed during the prosecution phase
  • If a patented innovation is employed unlawfully
  • If there are opportunities for pursuing licensing agreements
  • If there is an opportunity to generate revenue from the patent’s potential
