What you need is to make sure that it is extremely difficult for competitors to work around your patents. Only then would your patent portfolio have a true value and truly protect your inventions.

​

Before our clients file a new patent application on critical technologies, we put ourselves in the shoes of a competitor and try to work around their claims. Any solutions we find, we discuss them with the client patent managers and patent attorneys before the filing of a new patent application. This gives them the opportunity to make the necessary changes or file additional applications if needed so that a new conceptual direction is fully protected.

​

Afterall, a new invention can only truly provide a competitive advantage if competitors cannot find viable alternatives without a significant disadvantage over your direction.
