Does your product exactly follow the patent at issue? We analyse whether aspects of your product fall in- or outside the scope of the patent claims. Often technical details are slightly different and perhaps already disclosed in prior art.

Is a patent as valid as thought? Perhaps it has expired because the maintenance fees have been not paid in articular countries. Alternatively you might know of products on the market before the patent date. Regardless, the Patent Office spend a limited amount of time per application, especially amendments, and often when Patentcheck dig deeper new material is located.

Your product characteristics might be described in an older patent which neutralises the impact of the patent at issue, or perhaps an invalidating publication convinces the other party to agree to a free licence.

In a way we find the bullets, the patent attorney loads the rifle and the IP lawyer shoots in court. Mind, settling the case before it goes that far might be preferred by the parties involved.
