DETAILED INTRODUCTIONS

IP Strategy

Patent protection plays a very crucial role in the development of an enterprise, and the establishment and the improvement of the patent strategy are essential for the enterprise to enhance the core competitiveness in the market at home and abroad. We are able to help the enterprise assess its own patent status overall, and further analyze the relevant information regarding the industry policy, the industry status, the patent status and the R&D dynamic condition of the competitors, and so on. On this basis, we can help the enterprise customize the patent strategy, and therefore, help the enterprise seek the maximum economic benefits in the technology competition and the market competition, and maintain the enterprise's technology advantages.

Example 1:

We were entrusted with establishing a patent strategy for a domestic enterprise. At first, we investigated the basic status involving the patent status of the enterprise comprehensively and deeply, and then we focused on the analysis of the industry policy, the industry status, R&D of the enterprise, patents distribution of its main competitors, and so on. And then, in combination with the goal and characteristics of the business, we determined the strategic goal of the patent creation, implementation, protection and management, established the strategic steps to achieve the goal, and finally, we finished the research report of the patent strategy for the enterprise.

Patent Search & Analysis

We are able to provide you with a full range of patent search service. For example, we can provide you with novelty/inventiveness search, prior art evidence search for the invalidation, infringement risk search for the infringement analysis, defense evidence search for the patent infringement lawsuit, special topic search surrounding a technical topic, a specific patent applicant or inventor, search for the legal status and distribution of patents or patent applications.

In addition, we can provide you with guidance and reference opinion on your R&D, technology trading, and investment decision by means of analyzing the patent information of relevant industries, relevant enterprises, and relevant technical fields in R&D, technology tracking, product positioning and the whole process of your manufacturing operation.

Example 1:

Entrusted by a farm machinery company of Asia, we provided a validity analysis for a granted patent owned by its competitor on the basis of four references in English and Japanese respectively. In combination with the problems found in the analysis, a supplementary search was conducted in several other databases from which we found additional prior art references that were more relevant to the patent claims.

Patent Application & Prosecution

We provide comprehensive patent application and prosecution services, including drafting patent specifications, filing applications, responding to office actions, and managing the entire prosecution process. Our team of experienced patent attorneys ensures that your inventions receive the strongest possible protection.

Example 1:

A pharmaceutical company found a new compound, which had a significant treatment effect on a disease, and the development of this compound had entered into the clinical trial stage. We were entrusted by this company with drafting and filing a patent application for the compound. After communicating with the technologist of this company, we suggested the company file a series of applications relating to the compound itself, the extracting methods of the compound, formulations, production process, and the usage, respectively, in the first place, and thereafter, file a series of applications relating to the improvement of the production process, the formulation and crystal type, respectively, in order to form a full range of patent portfolio and extend the protection period as long as possible.

Patent Portfolio Management

Effective patent portfolio management is crucial for maximizing the value of your intellectual property assets. We help clients develop comprehensive strategies for managing their patent portfolios, including portfolio analysis, strategic planning, and ongoing maintenance.

Example 1:

Entrusted by a company with drafting a new patent application, we found that although the company owned a group of patents surrounding a new technique, those patents were very fragmented, and lacked effective association from one another. The company had a considerable share in the market, and would be monitored by more and more competitors. Therefore, we suggested the company file a series of patent applications to cover the core technique, and then file a series of applications to cover the peripheral techniques involving technical improvement, product upgrading, and usage extension.

Patent Annuity Payment

Considering difference and change of annuity requirements in a various of countries or regions, we provide the client with one-stop solution for annuity management. We will send the reminder to you at an arranged time before the due date, pay the annuity in a proper manner upon receipt of your instruction and fee, and then report to you. We may also accept your one-time entrustment for a bulk of cases, pay the annuities automatically, and then report to you.

Example 1:

Entrusted by a domestic client, we regularly paid annuities in China, U.S.A., Germany, and Japan for the client's two patent families.

Application for Government Funding

We are able to help the domestic enterprises or individuals apply for government funding according to the relevant stipulation of the patent funding in various regions. In general, the local government patent funding mainly involves: funding for the granted Chinese patents; funding for the granted patents in America, Japan and EU; funding for PCT applications under Patent Cooperation Treaty.

Example 1:

Entrusted by an enterprise in Shenzhen, we helped the enterprise apply a PCT application before the State Intellectual Property Office and enter its national phases in America, Japan and EU. All of these applications were granted. According to Shenzhen Municipal Intellectual Property Special Funding Management Approach, we helped the enterprise obtain the funding for the PCT application, and the funding for the granted patents in America and Japan respectively.
