Investigation/Analysis for Patent Infringement, Invalidity Review, and Avoiding Patented Technology Design
From the patent holders’ point of view, it is crucial to determine whether patent rights are infringed before initiating a patent dispute or develop/sell products. We assess patent infringement based on a clear understanding of the technology and legal principles established by court precedents. Furthermore, if patent infringement is established, we provide legal advice on whether there are ways to invalidate the patent or design around it. Particularly, investigating and analyzing competitors' patents during the technology development stage and then developing technologies that can avoid infringement or even allow for patent registration is the most important factor in preventing patent disputes. Therefore, such IP rights investigation/analysis services can be advantageously utilized for the company.
