Patent Litigation Strategy
Patent Litigation Strategy & Technical Advisory
Technical intelligence for patent litigation strategy
A stronger technical foundation for patent disputes, before and during litigation
IIPRD supports patent attorneys, litigation teams, and corporate in-house legal departments in assessing the technical and strategic dimensions of patent disputes. We provide technical, patent, product, and competitive intelligence that helps counsel evaluate a case, examining the asserted patents, accused technologies, prior art, prosecution history, and technical evidence, while counsel leads the legal strategy.
Technical intelligence, counsel-led strategy
We function as an extension of the legal team, providing the technical foundation while the responsible counsel retains control of legal strategy and decisions.

Six dimensions of a patent dispute
Patent disputes often involve complex technologies. We build the technical foundation by examining how the pieces connect, from the asserted claims to the supporting evidence.
The technical questions that decide cases
Structured analysis across the patent, the accused technology, prior art, and the evidence base.
Pre-litigation assessment
A fact-based technical read of the dispute before significant resources are committed.
Asserted patent analysis
Claims, specification, figures, family members, and prosecution events of the asserted rights.
Accused product assessment
Architecture, hardware, software functionality, standards, and implementation details.
Infringement & non-infringement
Claim-by-claim mapping, missing elements, technical distinctions, and both competing positions.
Validity & prior art assessment
Prior art, earlier disclosures, and claim-level prior art mapping where required.
Prosecution history & evidence
Amendments, arguments, and a structured technical evidence base from multiple sources.
Where the technical risk lives
We help counsel weigh the technical strengths and weaknesses so the team can prioritize the issues that matter most.
From the dispute to a strategy input
Seven steps that turn a complex technical picture into structured analysis counsel can act on.

Assess the patent
Examine claims, specification, prosecution history, family members, and relevant prior art.
Assess the accused technology
Investigate product architecture and functionality and identify relevant technical evidence.
