intelligence to attorneys, IP portfolio managers, researchers and the press.
The data comes from the EPRIORI®
knowledgebase - a comprehensive integration of IP data from many channels, including docket,
patents-in-suit, reexaminations, appeals, claim construction thesaurus,
auction results, prior art, documents -- and more -- providing unique
analytics of IP activity. Recently the data
has been licensed to the Stanford Law School for its IP Litigation
Clearinghouse. A new feature is a catalog of Green/Eco Patents.
Patent Auction Analysis

auctioned patents with similar patents-in-suit from the EPRIORI®
IP Knowledgebase, and provide analyses of results from prior auctions. Click

strategize and license technology as IP assets.

We can analyze software code to determine
its functionality. The code may be in any number of languages such as C,
C++, Java or assemblers. The next step usually involves a comparison--- with
patent claims or disclosure--- or with other software. Finally, we prepare
an expert report, or testify in the form of declaration, deposition or at
trial. Alternatively, we convey that knowledge to attorneys, the Court or
other testifying experts if the situation warrants. |
