Licensing Opportunity Identified Through Claim Mapping
An externship team mapped a partner's patent claims to competitor products and identified a licensing opportunity that led to an agreement. [PLACEHOLDER]
The Challenge
The partner held a substantial patent portfolio but lacked the internal bandwidth to assess which patents mapped to competitor products or where licensing opportunities might exist. [PLACEHOLDER]
Our Approach
Our externs, working under attorney supervision, reviewed the portfolio, identified high-value patents, and built claim charts mapping claims to specific competitor products. Weekly oversight kept the work aligned to the partner's priorities. [PLACEHOLDER]
The Outcome
The analysis identified an infringing product line and a licensing opportunity, which produced a license agreement. The partner received a prioritized action plan at no cost. [PLACEHOLDER]
