1. FTO Scoping and Strategy Review
Define the parameters of the target product or service, clarify the objectives of the assessment, identify relevant jurisdictional limitations, and determine whether a more comprehensive search or external legal opinion is required. Particularly suitable for assessing how to respond to requests from buyers, investors or licensors.
2. Known Patent Risk Analysis
Analyse previously identified patent claims directly against your proprietary technology or product features. This analysis is particularly suitable where a specific patent risk has been identified during commercial negotiations, preliminary internal review or before finalising a product configuration. Deliverables may include detailed product-to-claim mapping and strategic recommendations.
3. FTO Search and Analysis
Conduct parameter-driven, multi-jurisdictional patent database searches within a defined technical scope to support market entry or export activities. Relevant patents and applications are screened and prioritised according to risk, resulting in a structured, evidence-based advisory report.
4. Buyer-Requested IP Risk Screening
Assist manufacturers, OEM suppliers and cross-border exporters in responding to global buyer requirements through pre-production patent risk screening and appropriately supported non-infringement assessments. The objective is to provide commercially workable risk assurance while avoiding overly broad or legally unsupported conclusions.
5. Negotiation and Licensing Support
Analyse specific patent or technology-related positions raised by licensors or prospective technology partners during commercial negotiations. Assist in assessing commercial leverage, indemnity and warranty parameters, and the appropriate territorial scope of licensing arrangements.
