Domain-specific analysts, sector-focused source strategies and research plans built around how each technical field is documented, classified and commercialised.
Explore the systems, source types and research decisions that define our work in each core discipline.
Research across component architecture, signal paths, device behaviour, communications standards and implementation evidence.
Clarifies where a claim reads on the architecture, which standards material matters and where the closest technical evidence sits.
Claim-focused research for regulated products where mechanical design, electronics, software and biological context often overlap.
Builds one coherent evidence record across the different technical systems that make up the product under review.
Research grounded in how assemblies move, interact, transfer energy and are manufactured—not simply how they are named.
Separates genuinely differentiating mechanics from familiar arrangements hidden behind different terminology.
Evidence-led analysis of method claims, system behaviour, data flow and implementation detail across patents and technical literature.
Distinguishes an abstract functional description from the implementation detail that can determine relevance and claim scope.
Structure, composition and process research where small differences in formulation, sequence or operating conditions change the conclusion.
Makes the comparison explicit at the level of constituents, ranges, process steps and disclosed performance.
Coordinated technical drawings and prosecution research that keep the written disclosure, figures and filing strategy aligned.
Reduces inconsistency between what the application says, what the figures show and what prosecution requires.
Select a field to see how the research issue, source strategy and outcome are framed around the technology.
Client required a clear view of the competitive patent landscape to inform product differentiation strategy and assess freedom-to-operate risk ahead of market entry.
The client gained valuable insights into their competitors’ activities, identified key areas for differentiation, and developed strategic plans to enhance their market position. Our expertise enabled them to stay ahead in the competitive landscape of the medical devices industry.
Client successfully refined their market positioning strategy with IP intelligence from the 3AIP research engagement.
The client needed a structured search across patent families, prosecution records and scientific literature under a compressed review schedule.
Citation-led patent research and targeted academic-literature review identified evidence that materially narrowed the disputed claim position.
The resulting evidence set and claim mapping supported counsel’s assessment of the available challenge strategy.
Company facing SEP licensing demand. Needed invalidity search and documentation covering pre-standard technical contributions not typically indexed in patent databases.
Research into pre-standard 3GPP technical contributions identified documents relevant to asserted claim limitations and clarified how the evidence related to the prosecution record.
Counsel received a documented standards-evidence set for use in invalidity and licensing analysis.
Patentability search for a new automotive component design across multiple target filing jurisdictions.
Classification, citation and component-level searching surfaced references that materially constrained the available claim scope and clarified where technical differentiation remained.
The analysis helped the client focus drafting on the implementation features least affected by the identified art.
Patentability assessment before filing. Prior Google Patents search by inventor returned only hardware-focused results and missed non-patent academic literature.
The search extended into conference proceedings and pre-print literature, identifying academic work that materially affected the available scope for several method steps.
The client redirected claim strategy toward implementation details that remained technically distinct.
We structure coverage around the relevant patent offices, family records, prosecution histories, legal status and technical sources for the markets in scope.
