Claim Chart Construction

The process of comparing claims is cumbersome, time consuming and when relevant patents remain elusive to traditional Boolean search engines, it can be frustrating. Nevertheless, claims comparison remains the critically important core to patentability searches, invalidity searches, infringement studies, and even in testing proposed claims prior to filing new applications.

We analyze your disclosure/ invention/ patent/ product and compare its features with other patents, publications and products in the field. The features are compared with those claimed in the patents and a report is generated that is helpful in ascertaining the novelty as well as highlighting the areas to innovate in. We use visual representation methods like colour coding to make the claim charts easily understandable.

In a claim chart, patent claims are parsed and placed into an easy-to-read two-column format. The left column contains the parsed patent claim. The right column contains a detailed explanation of the target, corresponding to the claim. Our visual representation methods like colour coding make the claim charts easily understandable.

Claim charts provide the technical evidence required to strengthen and enhance your litigation or patent licensing initiatives.
