Patent Infringement Analysis: From Complex Patents to Actionable Insights
The Challenge
Our client approached us with a diverse portfolio of eight high-value patents in multiple technical domains, from advanced diagnostic kits to specialized membrane technology. They needed a comprehensive infringement analysis. The portfolio’s technical complexity was increased by its variety, covering immunochromatographic diagnosis kits, battery electrode separators, multi-layer fabrics, microporous membranes, water electrolysis components, and specialized materials including phenol resin foam and composite oxide catalysts.
Our Approach
Understanding the urgency and complexity of the task, we developed an approach to deliver thorough analysis within the tight deadline. Our team began by conducting a detailed examination of each patent’s independent claims, carefully assessing their scope and identifying potential market applications.
For each patent, we performed a deep-dive analysis focusing on three potential products that could potentially infringe on the patent claims. Our evaluation framework included multiple dimensions: we assessed the breadth of patent claims, mapped potential infringement scenarios, and evaluated the feasibility of reverse engineering for evidence gathering.
The analysis went beyond simple infringement identification. We categorized infringement potential using a clear High/Medium/Low classification system, providing our client with actionable insights for prioritizing their infringement analysis efforts. Additionally, we assessed the practical aspects of proving infringement through reverse engineering, offering a realistic view of enforcement possibilities.
Results Delivered
Inspite of the challenging timeline, our team delivered comprehensive patent infrinement analysis for all eight patents within the two-day window. Each patent received:
- A detailed claim scope assessment
- Identification of three potential infringing products
- Clear infringement potential ratings
- Practical reverse engineering feasibility analysis
The deliverable provided our client with a clear roadmap for the infringement analysis, helping them identify the most promising opportunities while understanding potential challenges in enforcement.
