Infringement Scale and Rankings

Central to our infringement assessment methodology is the Infringement Scale. This unique scale, ranging from 0 to 10, quantifies the degree of similarity between products and the subject’s patent. As the numerical value on the scale increases, so does the level of potential infringement.

Scoring Parameters:

The factors carefully taken into consideration during the scoring process encompass:

  • Similarity with Critical Elements of Claims: We meticulously analyze how closely a product aligns with the critical elements outlined in the claims of the subject’s patent.
  • Public Information Disclosed: Our assessment considers publicly available information about the product.
  • Product Revenue: We factor in the financial performance of the product under scrutiny.

 

Informed Decisions

Our commitment goes beyond identification. Each product in our report comes with a conclusion summary, guiding you on whether to proceed or not. In addition, our reports provide a strategic viewpoint, spotlighting key products and their companies linked to possible infringements. This equips you to make well-informed choices and take essential steps to safeguard your intellectual property assets effectively.

Infringement Search An Overview

Numerous technological firms and individuals put in considerable effort to secure exclusive rights for their inventions. As a result, they often become concerned about the protection of their innovations. To address these concerns, intellectual property professionals offer infringement search analysis services.

The key factor in this search is the date, as product infringement can only occur after the priority date of the relevant patent.

Conducting an infringement search involves searching various sources like technical papers, teardown sites, presentation sites, conferences, press releases, product reviews, etc.

Types of Infringement

Direct Infringement: Occurs when someone directly copies, makes, uses, sells, or imports a patented invention without permission.

Indirect Infringement: Involves aiding, inducing, or contributing to another’s direct infringement, such as providing components for an infringing product.
