Protecting your inventions may also require proactive actions.
If you suspect that someone is violating your rights and your protected innovations, we can help you to assess the situation and decide on the appropriate actions. We provide the required expertise to understand your exact position and available assets. The tool that is used is infringement analysis that provides an assesment of whether any of your rights have been infringed and what next steps should be.
If your rights are being infringed, it might be appropriate either to seek to prevent this from continuing or open negotiations for example to settle for a licensing agreement. Our patent attorneys together with selected law firm partners, as appropriate, are ready to help you to select a suitable licensing model and take you through the negotiations.
If defence is needed
You may be concerned about the potential impact of a third party patent on your business or someone may even accuse you of patent infringement. Stay calm. Talk to us before taking any action. We will provide a prompt analysis of the situation and advise you on systematic and efficient way to proceed.
We can perform an infringement and validity analysis to study the patent in the light of your technology solutions and business concepts. When done sufficiently early, you may have the opportunity of engineering around potentially harmful patents or put together an invalidity case to remove obstacles to the continued operation of your business.
This work may also include looking into your patent portfolio for potential counter-assertations or cross licensing opportunities.
