Portfolio planning

We create a range of directions balanced in short-medium-long term, evolutionary vs revolutionary concepts.

All are illustrated to highlight the user benefit.

Working around patents that stand in your way requires both analytical and creative skills, it requires close collaboration with your R&D team so

that proposed solutions not only avoid infringements but can work well, continue to have advantages over competition, and can be implemented easily.

Because our team comes from a product and technology development background, we can sketch solutions in CAD and explain how alternatives can work.

Our clients find that having a trusted advisor that not only understands patents but can generate meaningful solutions, lightens the burden from

their team and brings fresh perspectives. From engineers to engineers communication is effective and excellent solutions are found very efficiently.

Product Strategy

It is not just your team that may come across patents that need to be worked around. The same can apply for your competitors if

their design potentially infringes your patents. What you need is to make sure that it is extremely difficult for competitors to work

around your patents. Only then would your patent portfolio have a true value and truly protect your inventions.

What you need is to make sure that it is extremely difficult for competitors to work around your patents. Only then would your patent portfolio have a true value and truly protect your inventions.

Before our clients file a new patent application on critical technologies, we put ourselves in the shoes of a competitor and try to work around their claims. Any solutions we find, we discuss them with the client patent managers and patent attorneys before the filing of a new patent application. This gives them the opportunity to make the necessary changes or file additional applications if needed so that a new conceptual direction is fully protected.

Afterall, a new invention can only truly provide a competitive advantage if competitors cannot find viable alternatives without a significant disadvantage over your direction.
