Patent Analytics

Four research-grade workflows that inform every downstream IP decision.

Our usual timeline for Patent Analytics projects is 1–3 weeks. If you need the work sooner, we also offer expedited delivery for each type of Patent Analytics project within 1–3 days at an additional premium charge.

Patentability / Prior Art Search

A novelty search before drafting saves orders of magnitude in prosecution costs. We trawl USPTO, EPO, IPO India, WIPO and non-patent literature using a hybrid of semantic and Boolean queries, then deliver an opinion that tells you exactly which claim limitations will survive examination — and which won't. Built for inventors who want to know before they file.

Starting at₹20,000 – ₹30,000

Patent Landscape Analysis

Where is the technology going? Who owns the white spaces? Which competitors are accelerating, which are stalling? Our landscape reports map thousands of patents into visual taxonomies — citation networks, applicant clusters, IPC/CPC technology classifications, time-series filings — surfacing the strategic intelligence R&D leaders and board members actually need to make funding, licensing and roadmap decisions.

Patent Invalidity Search

When the stakes are litigation, opposition or licensing, a routine search is not enough. We run exhaustive invalidity sweeps — combining patent and non-patent prior art across English, Japanese, German and Chinese sources — and build defensible claim charts that map every reference to every disputed claim element. The kind of search that holds up at the PTAB, and in district / high court.

Freedom-To-Operate (FTO) Study

Before you launch, before you raise, before you license — know whose patents your product touches. Our FTO opinions identify blocking claims across every jurisdiction you ship in, propose design-arounds where the technical envelope allows, and quantify residual risk in plain language your CFO and counsel can act on with confidence.

Patent Drafting

A well-drafted patent is the difference between a defensible right and an expensive piece of paper. We craft specifications and claims that survive examination, withstand opposition, and stand up in court — every limitation chosen with intent, every independent and dependent claim layered for breadth and depth. With deep technical fluency in the Mechanical, Electronics, Polymer Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Medical Devices, Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, AI, and other domains, we partner with inventors and R&D teams to translate complex inventions into language a patent office accepts and a competitor cannot design around. The result: claims that earn the protection your invention deserves.

Trademark Search and Filing

A trademark is your brand’s legal identity — and one that must be earned with careful search before it is claimed. We conduct comprehensive trademark availability searches across the Trade Marks Registry (India), USPTO TESS, EUIPO, Madrid Protocol member offices and common-law databases — spotting phonetic, visual and conceptual conflicts before you invest in a name. Once cleared, we handle the entire filing lifecycle: class selection, application drafting, and examination reports. Whether you are a startup securing your first mark or an established brand building an international portfolio, we make sure your identity is defensible from day one.

Patent Valuation

Whether the trigger is a licensing negotiation, M&A diligence, litigation, tax planning, or a board-level report, you need a valuation that holds up. We deliver expert Patent Valuation reports across the income, market, and cost approaches — supplemented by royalty-rate analysis and real-options modelling where the uncertainty demands it. Tailored to the conventions and evidentiary standards of different countries and their courts — every number we deliver is one we can defend.

Patent Illustrations / Drawings

A great patent is half drafted, half drawn. We produce CFR-compliant patent figures — mechanical exploded views, isometric assemblies, flowcharts, electrical schematics, etc. — in formats that pass USPTO, EPO and IPO India formality checks the first time. Hand-coupled with the drafter, the drawings tell the story the claims promise: every reference numeral, every callout, every line weight chosen to satisfy 37 CFR §1.84 and Rule 46 of the Patent Rules, 2003.

IP Agreements

Strong IP needs strong paper. We draft and review NDA Agreements with robust IP clauses, Co-Inventor IP Ownership Agreements, MOUs, and Licensing Agreements for businesses and inventors — each tailored to your commercial intent, drafted with clarity, and engineered to hold up under scrutiny. Whether you are protecting a disclosure to a prospective partner, clarifying ownership between co-inventors, or unlocking revenue through a license, our agreements get the legal mechanics right so the business can move forward.
