Technical EvaluationService Tiers
An Expert-Based Solution for Each Technical Evaluation Need
GHB Intellect offers tiered Technical Evaluation Services. Our tiers are designed with different purposes in mind, so that our clients may select a tier appropriate for their requirements. The lower tiers provide high-throughput and rapid analyses, rating individual patents on key metrics by our leading IP strategists and technical subject matter expert(s) within the portfolio’s technical field. The higher tiers provide detailed and customized analyses and reports for project development, planning, and implementation.
A Technical Evaluation is always included in its corresponding tier of Financial Valuation; however, we also provide independent Technical Evaluation Services if desired.
