Ideation stage
It is important to understand the freedom-to-operate prior to engaging in product development. The last thing you need is to spend your hard-earned dollars on developing a product that already exists and infringes on someone else's IP rights.
Our services include:
- Preliminary freedom-to-operate
- Whitespace analysis
- IP matchmaking
Preliminary freedom-to-operate
Before beginning your R&D project, we can provide you with preliminary insight if the proposed prototype infringes on third-party rights. This crucial analysis de-risks any product development plans with valuable data.
Whitespace analysis
If you are unsure about novelty from an IP perspective, we can provide you with critical information that can highlight the whitespace available with respect to the existing patent landscape. This critical insight can guide your business to create novel prototypes with a low-risk path to market.
IP matchmaking
In some cases, you need to prospect external IP to complete your minimum viable product development. We can help identify the necessary IP and provide guidance on in-licensing strategy.
