Do you know of a problematic patent or would you like to steer the development of a new product in a patent-free direction at an early stage?
We stand by you with analyses as well as creative but practical workarounds to avoid patent infringements.
If you do not know whether third-party patent rights exist, we would be happy to devise a customized search and assessment strategy.
In a preliminary step, we can provide you with an overview of known, free and protected solutions (patent map or patent landscape). This enables you to pursue development in a targeted fashion using freely available solutions or by working around protected approaches.
Development can thus be directed at an early stage so as to avoid patent infringement and save time and money.
Concomitant measures, such as filing Patent Applications at an early stage of development or using defensive publications, are also possible.
At a later stage of development, in the context of a due diligence, a Patent Purchase or market introduction, we use customized searches and assessments to provide the security you need. This allows you to Avoid Patent Infringements when introducing the product.
