Technology Landscape

If you are looking to start a R&D project and are having difficulties in understanding where to start, Technology Landscape is the service to opt for. It is a global best practice used by corporates to identify a starting point of an R&D project, which enables organizations to develop innovations faster, without reinventing the wheel as a Technology Landscape provides insights on what are the existing and future technology trends, competitors, and specific technology areas within the given domain where innovations are being created.

Gap/Whitespace Analysis

Organizations are always looking for areas in which they can innovate further, however, it is difficult to identify the areas in which they should innovate to either be a strategic player or generate revenues. Conducting a Gap/Whitespace analysis provides a clear understanding of the gaps in a particular technology domain, which can help the organizations to make more informed decisions for developing successful innovations.

Knockout Searches

Any organization may have a lot of ideas floating around at any time but not all the ideas are patentable, and the cost of doing patentability searches is huge for all such ideas, therefore, the knock out searches help in shortlisting ideas up-to one level thereby, saving a great deal of time and money

Invention Protection

Obtain High Quality, Broad, Strategic, and Valuable Patent Protection for Inventions.

Patentability Searches

A Novelty Search or Prior Art Search or Patentability Search is conducted prior to applying for a patent, as it helps in determining whether a similar or same invention already exists. Although it is not mandatory to perform the same before filing a patent application, it is highly recommended as a Patentability Search helps in saving costs later and drafting & filing a strong patent application.

Patent Drafting Services

Strong Patent Protection can only be achieved by well drafted patent application. Preparing the Patent Document is the single most important step in the whole patent cycle as the protection of your invention (grant of patent), future costs of prosecution, commercialization of technology, infringement and enforcement of your patent, all depend on the patent application. We are the specialists in the same and make sure that your patent is asset and not a liability.

National & International Patent Filing

We help clients in filing national and international patent applications anywhere in the world while sitting at your home. Patent filing is a very complex matter and it does not stop with filing of the patent application. There are many compliances and due dates that have to be maintained in various jurisdictions and missing one deadline may cost you your invention. We use technology to make this process perfect and make sure that you never miss a deadline.

Patent Prosecution & Maintenance

Once the patent application is filed, the patent office issues an examination report stating any objections/rejections that they may have with respect to the patent application, the Client has to respond to the same with arguments/amendments to the patent application. Such a stage is known as Patent Prosecution and we help Clients in preparing and filing the same in the Patent Office to get the Patent granted/issued. Moreover, we help Clients in post grant compliances like payment of issue fees regularly or filing additional forms related to post grant compliance.
