Infringement analyses

Patent infringement analysis is a procedure used to assess whether a specific product, method, or technology infringes upon the rights of an existing patent. This analysis is particularly important for companies that suspect someone else may be infringing on their patent rights.

If the infringement analysis reveals a potential infringement, the company can decide how to proceed, such as whether it's prepared to grant a license or if it wants to prohibit the use according to the patent.

It's important to note that patent infringement analysis is a complex process requiring technical and legal expertise. Therefore, it's advisable for companies to consult patent agents or attorneys to conduct this analysis.

Why should infringement analysis be conducted?

• Proper and active monitoring of one's rights: By understanding what your patents cover and actively monitoring the market, you can quickly address potential infringements.
• Understanding the strength and value of your own IPR: Infringement analysis helps you better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your patents. This information can be valuable in, for example, licensing negotiations.
• Fact-based negotiations with competitors: If you find that a competitor is infringing on your patent, you can engage in fact-based negotiations with them. This can lead to avoiding lawsuits, reaching agreements, or other solutions that are in the interest of both parties.
