Patent Invalidation & Defense
In fast-moving markets, patents safeguard innovation and underpin competitive advantage. Yet patents are not unassailable. Given complex prior art landscapes and evolving legal standards, many rights face invalidation challenges—while patentees must also be ready to defend the validity of their core assets.
What we do
Our patent invalidation & defense service covers the full lifecycle—from early risk assessment to end-to-end representation. We analyze the asserted patent and the technical record in depth, shape persuasive grounds for invalidation where appropriate, or prepare robust defense strategies and responses when your patent is under attack.
Grounds development & evidence: Prior-art searching (documents, public use, disclosures), claim construction, and mapping to build or rebut novelty/inventive-step and other statutory grounds (insufficient disclosure, added matter, lack of support, clarity, etc.).
Pleadings & responses: Draft, file, and manage petitions, oppositions, observations, and office/court submissions with clear technical-legal reasoning.
Expert input: Coordinate technical expert opinions, experiments, and declarations to substantiate arguments.
Hearings & oral advocacy: Prepare exhibits and arguments; represent you in hearings, and plan appeal routes where available.
Settlement & business strategy: Model outcomes and timelines; negotiate licenses/settlements aligned with commercial goals.
Cross-border coordination: Orchestrate strategies across jurisdictions (administrative challenges, oppositions, post-grant reviews, and related litigation) for consistent, efficient results.
With a structured approach that blends technical depth and procedural expertise, we help you neutralize threatening patents—or defend your own—while supporting your long-term IP strategy.
