Case Study: Enabling Patent Assertion for a Non‑Practicing Entity (NPE)

Client Profile​​

A Non‑Practicing Entity (NPE) seeking to assert a focused patent portfolio in standards‑driven and product‑intensive technology markets. 

 

Challenge

The client needed to identify real‑world infringement, prioritize targets, and prepare litigation‑ready claim charts to support licensing and enforcement efforts.

​

Our Approach

  • Conducted infringement and market analysis to identify potentially infringing companies and products.

  • Analyzed product documentation, standards specifications, and technical disclosures.

  • Prepared ready‑to‑file claim charts, including:

    • Claims vs. products

    • Claims vs. standards

    • Claims vs. standards‑implemented products

  • Worked iteratively with client to refine theories of infringement and technical positioning.

​

Outcome

   ✓ Shortlisted multiple infringing companies and products.

   ✓ Delivered detailed, litigation‑ready claim charts.

   ✓ Reduced time from analysis to assertion readiness.

​

Business Impact
The client was able to move efficiently from portfolio ownership to active assertion, improving leverage in licensing discussions and enforcement actions.
