Patent Litigation Powered by Analytics
What is patent litigation?
Patent litigation or patent prosecution is a legal process where applicants negotiate with a patent office for the grant of a patent. This process involves a series of interactions between an applicant or their representative, and a patent office with respect to one or more of the applicant’s inventions. The patent prosecution process is crucial for inventors and businesses alike. It is through this process that inventions are protected by law, providing the patent holder with the exclusive right to the commercial use of the underlying technology.
How to reinforce propsecution strategy with insights from prosecution analytics
With patent prosecution analytics, businesses can make more informed decisions about their patent portfolios. For example, they can identify which inventions are likely to be granted patents, which can help prioritize resources. They can also identify potential issues in the prosecution process early on, allowing them to take corrective action before it’s too late. PatentAdvisor provides you with the insights you need to navigate the unpredictable patent prosecution process effectively and efficiently. Whether you’re an inventor looking to protect your latest invention or a business seeking to optimize your patent strategy, we’re here to help.
