Scalable prior art search support for patent litigation

When faced with a complex, multi-patent litigation involving a major NPE, the client needed fast, defensible prior art. Find out how we delivered coordinated, high-quality searches under tight deadlines, supporting a stronger litigation strategy.

The Challenge

Multi-patent litigation under tight deadlines

The client, engaged in a high-stakes patent litigation matter, faced a portfolio of patents asserted by one of the world’s largest non-practicing entities. The case required 10 independent prior art searches, each tied to patents with early priority dates (as early as 2000).

The technical scope was broad and complex, spanning TDMA and OFDM communication systems, real-time tracking technologies, and handheld-based task management systems. The client needed not only speed, but also defensible, high-quality prior art from a partner experienced with both the technologies and the opposing assignee.

The Solution

Coordinated, expert-led prior art search strategy

Parola Analytics deployed a structured and scalable approach, combining deep technical expertise with litigation-focused execution. Each search was supported by a dedicated team of 5–6 senior analysts, overseen by a U.S.-based patent attorney, ensuring both technical rigor and legal relevance.

Our approach included:

Comprehensive global search coverage

Conducted U.S. and international patent searches alongside targeted non-patent literature (NPL), including technical papers, products, and academic research.

Claim-centric technical mapping

Delivered detailed mappings of identified references directly to claims-of-interest, enabling immediate usability in litigation strategy.

Accelerated delivery with ongoing collaboration

Provided interim and final reports on compressed timelines while maintaining continuous communication for alignment and iteration.

Our Impact

Delivered complete, high-quality results within a compressed litigation schedule.

Actionable prior art for defense strategy
