Patent infringement assessment is critical to intellectual property (IP) strategy and risk management of an enterprise. It includes rigorous technical comparisons and legal interpretation to validly determine whether a product or technology falls within the scope of patents rights, thereby effectively preventing infringement litigation and deterring counterfeiting. Furthermore, patent infringement assessment is beneficial to patent portfolio management, merger and acquisition (M&A) evaluation, and market strategy formulation, enabling companies to gain the most advantageous position in patent litigation and defense.
