Patent Search

Patentability / Novelty Search: Patentability search helps the inventor and the prosecution team to define the scope of their inventions. It essentially checks if the invention is novel, if it has an inventive step and hence defines the boundaries. The search covers both patent literature and scientific/technical publications.
Validity / Invalidity Studies: Validation or Invalidation studies help the litigation counsel to understand the validity of a granted patent. To defend the patent while asserting it on the potential infringer, a Validation study does a great help. Invalidation studies helps to counter the infringement charge from a patent owner. Experts at DataSolve have huge experience in handling these types of requests and will be more than happy to help you counter this challenge.
Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search: Any product that is taken to market should be checked if it has the freedom to operate. DataSolve’s patent analysts can support you in finding out the ‘freedom-to-operate’ by reviewing all the patents in that space and provide you the needed clearance. In addition, DataSolve experts can also recommend on how to circumvent a patent or evaluate the options for licensing the patent that has overlapping features.
Infringement Study: Any hard-earned patent should not be allowed to infringe upon. DataSolve’s patent engineers are keen to identify the potential infringing products that allegedly infringes upon your patents. The study unearths these potentially infringing products and does a detailed Claim Charting on the product features with your patented claims. DataSolve’s tailor-made Claim Charts can be instrumental in your efforts to assert the patents on the infringers.
State-of-the-art Search: The State-of-the-Art (SoA) search involves a comprehensive review of all patent literature and scientific/technical publications in a particular field. The objective is to understand the current ‘state of the art’ in a specified technology field.
Industrial Design Search: A comprehensive Design search enables the clients to understand the protected space in a given jurisdiction for similar ornamental designs. DataSolve team has rich experience in conducting design searches across various jurisdictions to assess the non-obviousness of the design as against the prior art.

Patent Analytics

Technology Landscaping: It will be a great input for R&D and Early Research teams if they can picture the patent terrain in a given subject area before they invest heavily in that space. DataSolve’s subject matter experts (SMEs) help the client teams in understanding the width and breadth of a given subject area including the leading competitors in that area, top inventors, geographical footprints and trend analysis. Data Scientists & BI analysts at DataSolve can provide visual insights into the landscape using advanced data analytics tools.
White Space Analysis: Whitespace analysis or Gap analysis helps R&D teams to identify the unexplored territories. With highly experienced SMEs, DataSolve identifies the gaps and opportunities in a given technical field and provides a detailed report on these untapped areas that can be leveraged and capitalized. The report also brings out insights on how technology has incrementally appreciated over the period and what could the future potentially hold.
Tech Scouting: Scouting for newer or complementing technologies for strategic acquisitions can be a cumbersome effort. DataSolve can play an able role in identifying the right patents or portfolio of patents in a given technical field. DataSolve closely works with the client in determining the complimenting technologies and zeroing in on the right assets.
Licensing Studies: DataSolve supports clients from both perspectives of licensing-in and licensing-out. In terms of Licensing-in, DataSolve helps in analyzing the target patent portfolios that are targeted for acquisition and provide insightful reports on the overall value and technical advantage of the patent portfolio. With regards to Licensing-out, DataSolve helps the clients in identifying potential Licensors via a thorough research on similar patents and products.
Competitor Landscaping: Competitor Intelligence is a key area of focus for almost all businesses. While knowing and understanding what type of products the competitor has in the market is crucial, what can be more crucial is in which areas the competitor is investing on R&D. One indicator of knowing that can be through competitor’s patent portfolio. DataSolve provides a suitable offering where in the entire Landscape of the competitor is mapped by analyzing their patent portfolio in a given subject area. The report gives not only an overview of the landscape but also specific trends of each competitor and what their possible road map for the future could potentially be.
IP Due Diligence Study: Any Licensing or acquisition activity starts with a Due Diligence. DataSolve’s patent experts support our clients with a detailed Due Diligence which includes analyzing the target patent portfolio, identifying the technical advantage of the claims, conducting a validity analysis on the patents and providing insightful and actionable information that enables the client to evaluate license/buy decisions.

Monitoring Service

Patent Watch: It is essential to keep watching patenting activity in a given technology area to keep abreast of the technological advancements and/or to assess whether any of these patent/publication rights might be of interest. Effectively monitoring newly issued patents and newly published patent applications, helps to keep track of the developments in the technology area by providing customized monitoring reports that will focus on client’s product lines.
Competitor Watch: Pro-active alerts as and when your competitor’s patents get published or granted is part of DataSolve’s Competitor Watch offerings. This solution helps in understanding the areas in which competitors are developing their technology and also their technology strategy for the near future.
Patent Legal Alerts: DataSolve keeps monitoring changes to the legal status of patent publications, patents to track events that occur over the lifetime of a given patent or portfolio of patents.
Trademark Watch / Monitoring: Trademark Watch helps to safeguard the trademarks from potential misuse or infringement. DataSolve keeps track of the newly issued trademarks and also monitors the web for any potential infringement.
