Unveiling the Potential of Patent Portfolios
In today’s legal and business realms, patent portfolios are invaluable and require precise scrutiny. Our team of technology and IP experts recognizes the necessity for thorough analysis, particularly when it comes to competitors, acquisition targets, and in-house assets. Our portfolio analysis services are adaptable, encompassing objectives such as identifying high-value patents, investigating potential infringements, assessing validity risks, scrutinizing patent landscapes, conducting comprehensive prior art searches, performing tear-downs and reverse engineering, and providing litigation support through consulting experts and expert testimony. We customize our services to align with clients’ specific needs, ensuring a strategic, meticulous approach to optimizing their patent portfolios and business assets.
Deep Domain Expertise for Quality and Effective Analysis
Our technical expertise is driven by our seasoned SMEs who handle a range of analyses, from portfolio mining to extensive technical investigations. We use proprietary techniques and gating criteria to ensure efficient, cost-effective efforts without compromising quality. Our SMEs, often with PhDs, extensive industry experience, and numerous patents, stay updated with the latest tech developments. This deep understanding reduces analysis time and costs, allowing budgets to be optimally utilized. We employ specialized experts for precise assessments, assembling interdisciplinary teams for complex projects like portfolio mining or reverse engineering.
Deep Domain Expertise for Quality and Effective Analysis
Our reputation for being a power-house of technical expertise stems from our curated cadre of highly experienced SMEs, who support our clients in all types of technical analyses, from portfolio mining to the most extensive technical investigations and reverse engineering. Armed with our proprietary evaluation techniques and gating criteria to our analytic processes to continually assess the value of the assets being investigated, we make sure the effort being expended is focused, effective, and efficient, in order to limit unnecessary expenditure while maintaining the highest level of quality and satisfaction for our clients.
GHB Intellect’s deep-domain experts stay up to date with the latest technology developments and leverage their extensive experience to provide top-notch advice. Our highly credentialed SMEs, often holding PhDs and boasting numerous publications and patents, have decades of experience working in their respective industries and associated standards and regulatory bodies. They have typically analyzed hundreds of patents and produced numerous high-quality Evidence-of-Use (EoU) charts (claim charts).
To avoid costly oversights, decision-makers in high-tech/high-science industries and their counsel should require that the experts they utilize in analyzing patents maintain a thorough understanding of not only the underlying science and technology, but also the associated industries, standards bodies, and regulatory requirements, as applicable. Extensive experience in the industries of interest is crucial in understanding what innovations are especially valuable. This kind of understanding can substantially reduce analysis time and costs. An expert who can make a correct judgement call about the potential value of an invention can not only help save considerable expenses associated with pursuing the wrong inventions, but he or she can also provide significant value in identifying which assets and which paths to monetization to pursue for valuable inventions. Consequently, limited patent analysis budgets can be put to best use by such an expert.
At GHB Intellect, we do not utilize generalists for patent analysis. To do so would defeat our mission of providing high-quality advice with tight budgets. We excel in patent analysis by effectively utilizing our cadre of hundreds of deep-domain experts in every project. For large portfolios, we create a taxonomy of the sub-specialties required for a proper review of each patent. Each segment is then assigned to a SME who possesses deep knowledge and extensive experience in the relevant technical field and industry. This approach allows us to efficiently assess large sets of patents while ensuring accurate and insightful analyses.
For projects that require it, we are able to quickly put together a team of specialized resources from various disciplines who work together to analyze patents, standards, and products and provide the sought-after results. For example, large portfolio mining projects require the assignment of a multitude of SMEs with deep expertise in various fields of technology. As another example, our product investigation or reverse engineering projects often require an expert in the technology, an expert in reverse engineering, and one or more lab technicians.
Uncovering Hidden Gems with Efficiency
Our team of highly specialized experts leverages its industry-specific knowledge to quickly identify the most valuable patents within a portfolio. By assigning experts with deep subject matter expertise to each patent, we can quickly filter a portfolio down to its gems without compromising on quality. This cost-effective process saves valuable time and resources, allowing our customers to focus on building strong legal and business strategies.

When attorneys engage GHB Intellect, our IP expert project manager kickstarts the process. For complex cases, we assemble a dedicated team. After addressing conflicts, our initial discussion focuses on counsel’s needs, technologies, timelines, and our capabilities to meet them, ensuring a seamless collaboration.
The Key to a Successful Outcome
From our decades of experience, we have learned that the most crucial factor in achieving a successful trial outcome is the establishment of a meaningful relationship between the expert and the attorney.
