Patent Research and Analysis
ESPE SERVICES
Get insights and become a leader.
Anything you've even dreamed about is possible to realise just at the moment when you decided to win.
Get insights on future technologies
- Analysis of competitors' patents and their priorities helps you understand where your rivals are targeting.
- Analysis of technology trends in your industry
- Patent reverse flow research
- Patent and product competitive intelligence
- Analysis of your patent portfolio helps you to learn which technologies are covered by patents, which technologies are promising for patenting.
Mitigate your risks
- If you enter the market, especially in the US, you may run into patent trolls and competitors.
- The cost of a patent lawsuit is about $100k per month (3-25 months in general). The cost of a patent research is nothing compared to such expenses.
- Infringement of third party patents results in a loss of value to your business.
- To mitigate these risks, we conduct a Non-infringement and invalidity analysis.
- We also verify software and services for Patent Clearance ("freedom-to-operate", or "FTO", or infringement research).
Our offer
- Basic Competitive Intelligence includes analyzing statistics on the technologies with the most relevant patent publications.
- Full Competitive Intelligence additionally includes categories and tech trends, plus advanced statistics.
- Technology and quality analysis of the patent portfolio.
- Software and services verification for Patent Clearance ("freedom-to-operate" search).
- Competitive benchmarking analysis: assignee-based patent activity per tech area.
- Subscription-based periodic research.
- Comprehensible reports with actionable results.
In the era of information technology, when no business can succeed without a technological base, innovative products and services have especial value to all companies.
Creating such a product is impossible without regular technological market research, competitive analysis, customer surveys, and generation of brilliant ideas.
While an analysis of current products and services in a specific area can provide insights into what competitors offer and what customers need, a patent analysis provides answers to the question of "how it is done."
At the same time, patent analysis makes it possible to identify trends in the development of technologies several years before their implementation, to find new ideas for business, taking as a basis and developing technologies of other companies. As a result of the analysis, it is possible to draw the first conclusions about the risks of patent claims and about the level of competition, to determine the regions and countries that competitors are targeting, which in all allows you to accurately assess the investment attractiveness of the development of a particular product or a service.
With extensive expertise in patenting, technology product management and intellectual property law, ESPE can carry out patent research that will be of great value to your business and help you make the right decisions.
We use cutting edge machine linguistic analysis technology to process thousands of patents without losing sight of important details. Our research methodology allows us to conduct patent research in any technological area: analyze patents of competitors, find publications related to a specific product or technology, identify key technological trends of recent years, and much more.

While determining the value of a non-infringement or FTO opinion, it is extremely critical to assess the qualification and expertise of the person who has issued the opinion.
A patent opinion is considered to be competent only if it is issued by an expert who possesses sufficient qualification and qualification and experience both in patent law and the concerned technology.

F. A. Q.
— We have patented technology, are we protected?
— Granted patents and novelty searches offer no assurances regarding infringement.
To determine whether you might get risks for selling a product, you need a Patent Clearance research, also known as the "freedom-to-operate" (FTO), product clearance, patent infringement search, infringement clearance, etc.
The purpose of a Patent Clearance is to assess the risk of third party patent infringement associated with a particular technology.

— When is it better to start Patent Clearance research?
— If your product or service is at an initial stage of development where modifications are possible, then by identifying essential patents early on, you may be able to find ways to work around the claims of the third party patents that present a high risk of infringement. The value of Patent Clearance research always exceeds its cost by inducing design-around efforts that reduce infringement risks and increase patentability of your product.
— How to reduce infringement risks?
— To reduce risks which may be found during the Patent Clearance analysis or Competitive Intelligence research, you can follow our recommendations on what to do with the documentation, public materials, and even with the features development if it is applicable.
— Why is this so important to correct public materials?
— Most civil claims and lawsuits use public materials as evidence. That's why it's so important to get them corrected before they can be used to file a lawsuit.
