Technology Landscape
If your organization is considering embarking on a research and development project
and requires guidance on where to begin, Technology Landscape is a recommended
service to consider. Technology Landscape is a globally recognized best practice
utilized by corporate entities to pinpoint an optimal starting point for an R&D
initiative. This approach enables organizations to expedite innovation efforts by
leveraging existing insights on technology trends, industry competitors, and
specific technology domains within the relevant field while identifying where
innovation is being generated. By adopting this approach, organizations can avoid
reinventing the wheel and instead focus on developing novel solutions that build
upon existing knowledge and expertise.
GAP / Whitespace Analysis
Businesses are consistently searching for avenues to expand their reach and create
new revenue streams. To achieve this, they require assistance in identifying areas
to innovate. By conducting a GAP/Whitespace analysis, companies can gain a precise
comprehension of the gaps in a given technology domain. This knowledge will enable
them to make more informed decisions and develop successful innovations.
Knockout Searches
It is common for individuals and organizations to have a multitude of ideas; however,
not all of them are eligible for patent protection. Additionally, the cost of
conducting patentability searches for numerous ideas can result in significant
costs. In these circumstances, utilizing Knockout Searches can effectively
streamline the process by narrowing down the options to a singular level, ultimately
saving both time and money.

Patentability Searches
Conducting a Patentability Search, also called a Novelty Search or Prior Art Search,
before submitting a patent application is crucial to determine the existence of a
similar or identical invention. Although not mandatory, it is highly recommended as
it offers significant benefits such as cost-saving, and strengthening the
application for drafting, filing, and prosecution.
Patent Drafting Services
Preparing a well-drafted patent application is crucial to ensure that your invention
receives strong patent protection. It is, in fact, the most important step in the
patenting process. The quality of your patent application will determine future
costs of prosecution, the grant of the patent, commercialization of technology,
infringement, and enforcement of your patent. To safeguard your invention and turn
it into an asset, working with our team of experts will make all the difference.
National & International Filing
Filing a patent application can be a cumbersome task that requires ongoing attention
to various compliances and deadlines across multiple jurisdictions. Missing even one
deadline could result in the loss of your valuable invention. Our team of experts is
dedicated to making this process as easy as possible for our clients. We offer
assistance with filing national and international patent applications from the
convenience of your own home, using advanced technologies to ensure that deadlines
are never missed.
Patent Prosecution & Maintenance
After filing a patent application, the next crucial stage is Patent Prosecution. It
involves the Patent Office examining the application and issuing a report that
outlines objections or rejections to the patent application. At this point, it is
the client's responsibility to respond to the report with well-articulated arguments
or amendments to the patent application. Our team is dedicated to assisting clients
in filing and preparing this response with the Patent Office, ensuring that the
patent is ultimately granted and issued.
Patent Maintenance/Annuity Payments
Our services extend to assisting with post-grant compliance, which includes ensuring
timely payment of issue and maintenance fees, as well as the completion of any
additional forms related to post-grant compliance that may be required. We
understand the importance of complying with all post-grant obligations and are here

illustrations that effectively convey intricate information to a broad audience, as
requested by the examiner, ensuring that the invention is presented in its entirety
and enhancing the protection of the patent application. Our expertise and attention
to detail will help strengthen your patent application with compelling and
informative illustrations, convincing the examiner and the general audience of the
value of your invention.
Open Source Compliance
Our team specializes in Open Source Compliance, providing expert guidance to clients
in developing software compliant with various Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
licenses. As many companies incorporate FOSS into their proprietary products, it is
crucial to have formal procedures to ensure compliance with open-source licenses and
regulations. Failure to comply with these licenses can result in costly lawsuits and
engineering solutions to fix any issues.
We work closely with our clients to assess the stipulations of FOSS licenses on
proprietary software, drafting FOSS compliance reports that help avoid any legal
implications due to non-compliance with licensing requirements. Our approach is
comprehensive and tailored to meet each client's unique needs, with a focus on
providing helpful, fair, and safe solutions that prioritize compliance and risk
mitigation.
