Support for patentees (plaintiffs)
Strong litigation begins long before a case reaches court. Plaintiffs need to know if the dispute is worth pursuing, how strong their position is, and whether the path ahead should be licensing, settlement, or litigation. We help you gain this clarity early by reviewing both your patent and the accused product using a practical, evidence-driven approach.
Our support Includes:
- Examining the accused products to identify where they meet the patent claim elements
- Preparing litigation-ready EOU charts or infringement contentions with clear claim interpretation
- Reviewing prosecution history and file wrapper to anticipate potential defenses
- Assessing prior art and validity challenges raised or likely to be raised by the defendant
- Helping attorneys refine technical arguments for hearings, negotiations, or expert reports
This gives you a realistic picture of the case strength and factual support before you commit significant time and resources.
Support for accused parties (defendants)
When you are sued, the first questions are usually “Do I really infringe?” and “Can this patent be knocked out?”. A structured review of the asserted claims, infringement contentions, and available prior art helps identify weaknesses, design-around opportunities, and grounds for IPR or other post-grant proceedings.
We assist defendants with:
- Analyzing asserted patents to identify structural weaknesses, unsupported interpretations, or overly broad claim positions.
- Reviewing infringement contentions to identify missing or unpracticed claim elements in the accused product, supporting strong non-infringement positions and IPR planning
- Reviewing prosecution history to identify claim limitations arising from amendments or applicant arguments
- Conducting focused prior art searches aimed at identifying anticipation or obviousness grounds
- Preparing invalidity contentions, technical evidence, and mapping charts to build a strong defense in litigation or PTAB proceedings
