Patent databases are valuable treasures that can guide R&D when used correctly. With our studies under this category, our aim is to accelerate R&D processes and eliminate potential legal risks by identifying service titles based on the needs.
SERVICES BEFORE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Patent Prior Art Search; it is our service of identifying and reporting patents related to a product, a technical field or a problem solution. In the example application, the database containing patents related to the target product can be utilized by the design team to minimize product development processes. By reviewing existing patents during product development, the possibility of rediscovering America can be eliminated and identification of free-to-use solutions and risk areas can be allowed.
Field/Technology Profile Analysis; particularly before making investment decisions, provides critical data on target products or technology areas, such as key geographies, potential competitors and relevant patent information. Starting an investment process without conducting this analysis can lead to an investment made for a product that cannot be produced or sold.
Competitor Analysis ; is a study that involves extracting all patents of a specific company or all patents in a specific field and interpreting the results. With the monthly patent monitoring to be carried out in the continuation of this study, it is possible to stay informed about the developments made by competitors and to predict their next commercial move. Competition without knowing the patents of your opponent carries significant risks. Knowing not only the products but also the patented technologies of your competitors gives companies a competitive edge in their business activities.
Design Around and Avoid Patent Infringement ; is a service provided when a company encounters a patent that could potentially hinder its commercial activities. Our expert analyzes the relevant patent to clarify the scope of protection. Afterwards, it is checked whether alternative structures are out of this scope in coordination with the design team.
POST-PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Freedom to Operate (FTO) Analysis ;is a study conducted to determine whether a solution to a technical problem in a product infringes any patents within a limited geographical area. In cases where a Patent Prior Art Search is not conducted before product design, it is essential to perform a Freedom to Operate (FTO) Analysis before launching the product in the market. Otherwise, if a case of infringement arises after the product is sold, it can lead to significant losses. By an experienced specialist, patents that may pose a risk are identified. Then, if necessary, joint meetings with the designers are tried to clarify whether there is a risk due to the activity.
Infringement Analysis;is the study to determine whether a product is under the protection of one or more patents. In this way, it is determined that the product to be placed on the market is under legal risk or not.
EDUCATION SERVICES
Patent Awareness Training;is a training module that emphasizes the differences of patent from trademark and design and aims to acquire basic patent knowledge. At the end of the training, participants are expected to understand what they have invented, learn the path to follow and the situations they will encounter in the process.
Patent Research Training;is a training module in which it is explained how to do patent research and how the innovation of their ideas can be briefly questioned and how identified patents can be studied. At the end of the training, the participant can research the novelty of the invention at a basic level and reach different solutions that will guide.
Patent Expert Training; is an entry-level training module to enable the participant who has received basic patent training to start patent writing.
Intellectual and Industrial Rights Responsible Training; is a training module in which an expert candidate is trained to manage the company’s intellectual and industrial rights process with the support of a patent firm. With this training, it is expected that the participant will reach the competence to manage the whole process from the invention to the registration.
