Patent Invalidation Search
A Patent Invalidation Search invalidates the claim(s) of a patent citing Prior Art overlooked during patent examination. The invalidation search is useful during the course of a patent grant, patent litigation and before patent licensing.
IPpro conducts an exhaustive research of Prior Art in patent and non-patent databases to prepare reports that will assist patent attorneys during patent litigation. Our invalidation search report contains the search summary and mapping of the relevant references. It also helps clients decide on licensing patented technology.

IP Due Diligence
IP Due Diligence reveals the quality of the patent portfolio and its underlying conflicts. It helps organizations make decisions regarding their IP assets and patent protection strategy. It also directs investors and organizations to relook at their IP strategy during important transactions like Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A).
IPpro assists independent IP lawyers, law firms, PE / VC investors, and in-house counsels to analyze the patent portfolio of a company (for M&A) to determine compliance with the procedural requirements of a particular patent office. We also identify possible IP opportunities for licensing, patent valuation, and IP portfolio benchmarking.
