Let's see how DexPatent supported IP lawfirm

Project Needs

The client requested DexPatent to perform an invalidity search on the subject patent's independent claims, investigating prior art for potential invalidation, and identifying §102 NPL references related to novelty. The goal is to aid the client's litigation efforts and IP protection decisions, providing insights into the patent's strengths and weaknesses.

Deliverables

The DexPatent team conducted a meticulous analysis of the subject patent's independent claims, examining each feature to frame effective search strategies. As a result, they successfully identified 2 pertinent §102 patent references and conducted a thorough NPL search, revealing 2 relevant non-patent literature references. Within a remarkably efficient timeframe of 6 business days, DexPatent delivered a comprehensive report containing these 4 valuable references. This timely and insightful deliverable equipped the client with critical information to make informed decisions in their litigation efforts.

Benefits

The client was satisfied with the quality of the search results and said that most of the references provided could be used for litigation and the NPL documents provided were also helpful to invalidate the inventive step of the subject patent. As a value add of our reporting format, we had provided the client a claim chart which would highlight the feature matching of the independent claims of the subject patent with the relevant documents. This was all done in a very short notice, and completed within 6 days.

    

 We were facing a challenging patent dispute, and DexPatent came to our rescue with their patent invalidity search service. Their exhaustive research report with relevant prior art were instrumental in our legal victory.
