Patent analysis services
Dedicated and highly qualified patent attorneys, offering expert advice to individuals and businesses regarding patent prosecution, analysis and defence.
A patent is only as valuable as what you know about the ground around it. Patent analysis gives you that picture.
It examines competitor portfolios, the technology landscape and the risks sitting in your path, then translates what it finds into commercial terms.
The result is a clear basis for decisions about licensing, partnerships, investment and which markets are worth pursuing.
What is patent analysis?
Patent analysis involves an in-depth review of and research into a patent to discover insights into technology, market trends, potential collaborators, and commercial opportunities.
Through patent analysis, patent holders can gain a deeper understanding of their innovation and how to communicate this effectively. It allows them to better formulate ideas and make well-informed decisions in areas such as policy, research, commercialisation, marketing, and licensing.
By giving comprehensive insights into knowledge and activities relevant to a patent, it can also help to identify new opportunities and/or potential partnerships within associated industries.
The patent analysis process
Proper patent analysis and the creation of an accurate patent analysis report require significant expertise and skill.
Patent analysis may involve:
- Patent searches and retrieval of relevant documentation from applicable databases
- A review of competitor patent portfolios to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of focus
- An assessment of the current technological landscape to determine market trends and pinpoint potential for future innovation
- Identification of and research into key players, emerging technologies, and possible collaboration opportunities
- Risk assessment to eliminate the danger of infringing on another’s patent rights when leveraging discoveries from data insights (known as Freedom to Operate or FTO)
- Investigation into licensing and collaborative opportunities
- Valuation of the patent through a review of its economic potential
Is it possible to analyse a patent myself?
While the patent analysis process may seem easy enough to manage without professional help, this is strongly advised against.
As the analysis involves so many complex considerations and expertise in researching and collating data, an inexperienced approach could see vital details missed. This could mean lost opportunities, improper valuing, accidental infringement, reduced financial gains and more.
Engaging a qualified professional to analyse your patent ensures a comprehensive approach and facilitates optimally beneficial outcomes for the patent holder.
With access to a variety of resources and an in-depth understanding of how to analyse a patent and advise on discoveries made, a patent attorney is best placed to assist.

Where defence of patent rights is required, they are also the ideal point of contact for managing and resolving occurrences of infringement.
Taking a systematic but careful approach, a patent attorney eliminates the stress of analysing your patent and ensures your interests are properly protected and accounted for.
Whether you have already filed for a patent and are pursuing analysis for commercial opportunities or need assistance to analyse the patentability of a new invention, a patent attorney can help.
