A safe patent strategy usually requires insights provided by a patent-based competitor analysis including, for example, information about technological assets of current and potential competitors, the competitors' patent position, which areas of technology they are active in, and the degree of their internationalization. The competitor analysis can also be used to track and monitor key innovators in competitor companies or within a certain area of technology.
     We have considerable experience in carrying out patent-based competitor analyses in close cooperation with our clients. Please contact any of our patent attorneys for further information about what we can do for you in this area.
