One step ahead.
Patent disputes are won long before the oral hearing. We test, prepare and de-risk cases, whether we are building our own filing or helping a client decide whether to enforce, defend or acquire.
More than the courtroom.
Alongside contentious proceedings, we provide the technical and strategic groundwork that determines how a case will unfold.
In-house testing
Our own test set-ups verify infringement and essentiality across mobile and video technologies: 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G cellular conformance test cases, run on our own base stations available in-house at any time, plus network drive tests as well as HEVC and streaming test cases. Where an investigation calls for it, we coordinate expert testing through a broad network of specialists.
Pre-litigation preparation
Preliminary infringement analysis (with testing where needed) and preliminary invalidity analysis, including prior-art searches and prepared fallback positions. You enter proceedings knowing where you stand, backed by evidence.
Due diligence & FTO
Portfolio evaluation for enforcement, acquisition or investment, and freedom-to-operate, infringement and validity opinions to support confident business decisions.
The pre-litigation workflow.
A structured path from first question to a clear go / no-go decision.
Assess
Scope the technology, the patents and the commercial objective: enforcement, defence, licensing or acquisition.
Test
Preliminary infringement analysis, with in-house or coordinated expert testing where the technology requires it.
Prepare
Preliminary invalidity analysis, prior-art searches and fallback positions. For SEPs, essentiality assessment and portfolio ranking.
Decide
A clear, evidence-based recommendation on whether to proceed, how, and in which forum.
Proof, not assertion.
We can show what a device or a service actually does, not just what the specification says. Measuring it ourselves means we know how strong a case is before anyone files, and that a technical question can be answered in days rather than waiting on a testing cycle we do not control. That is what lets us, and our clients, go into a dispute knowing where they stand.
