Structured prior art review
Systematic evaluation of externally sourced references using defined relevance and invalidity criteria
The Challenge
Our client specializes in an innovative approach to prior art searching, coordinating large teams of researchers to review extensive patent sets. Much of this work involves non-practicing entity (NPE) portfolios, where thoroughness and accuracy are critical.
As their projects scaled, maintaining consistency, relevance, and cost-efficiency across hundreds of parallel research efforts became increasingly complex.
The Solution
We supported the client with a tailored prior art research solution built on deep experience in patent search, particularly in NPE-owned patents.
Over the course of more than 150 research projects, we integrated into their workflow to deliver structured, high-quality outputs aligned with their methodology. Our approach emphasized consistency, domain relevance, and efficient coordination across large portfolios.
