Fend Off Patent Lawsuits
You already have to deal with patent assertions? We help you to prepare and examine your options to prevail. We compare the patent claims with the relevant state of the art, collect information and arguments and discuss our results individually with your engineers and legal advisors.
TIPAG with its longterm experienced patent and technology experts is able to provide you with the necessary expert knowledge for in-depth analysis.
“Prior art” — A focussed “state of the art” search requires experience and expertise.
TIPAG works with various databases, search engines and other sources to determine the prior art of a specific invention. We also use different keywords as well as patent and non-patent literature to get the most optimal results.
Thanks to our many years of experience in development and patent infringement analysis, we know common solutions from various manufacturers and know where to look.
The filtered results are manually with the asserted claims in order to develop arguments for a suitable defense strategy for you.
We will gladly explain our results to the other party and assist your attorneys on-site in patent negotiations.
“Non-Infringement” — A substantiated refutation of a patent infringement requires deep expertise in the relevant technology.
The devil is in the detail! Every single word in a claim must be clearly shown in your products. Thanks to our many years of detailed patent analysis, we can quickly discover where the plaintiff might have problems clearly proving the patent infringement. Together with your engineers and experts, we collect arguments that show that you DO NOT INFRINGE the asserted patent — without revealing your trade secrets.
Often an already patented solution at first glance seems to be the best possible solution. We provide suggestions on how to alternatively implement another solution to achieve the same results (design-around).
