Build & Optimize Your Patent Portfolio
- Develop a smart filing strategy: Focus on landscape, timing, claim value, competitors, cost management, and a disciplined publication strategy.
- Patent drafting and prosecution: Experienced, attentive patent drafting and prosecution with Patent Offices to get patents granted.
- Patent quality review: Valuable expertise for ensuring the best claim scope and the
longest patent term adjustments/extensions available. Leveraging
this expertise and catching issues early for a client’s own patents, or acquired third party
patents, can allow for timely intervention and the best outcome. - Cost-effectiveness: Consider reductions in a portfolio (especially a maturing one) to cut
significant costs without much negative impact on protection. - Portfolio best practices: Establish guidelines to ensure existing important patents are
not compromised by ongoing patent prosecution, watch for comments on
prior art, use of terminal disclaimer, and double patenting risks.
