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.
