Infringement Scale and Rankings

Central to our infringement assessment methodology is the Infringement Scale. This unique scale, ranging from 0 to 10, quantifies the degree of similarity between products and the subject’s patent. As the numerical value on the scale increases, so does the level of potential infringement.

Scoring Parameters:

The factors carefully taken into consideration during the scoring process encompass:

  • Similarity with Critical Elements of Claims: We meticulously analyze how closely a product aligns with the critical elements outlined in the claims of the subject’s patent.
  • Public Information Disclosed: Our assessment considers publicly available information about the product.
  • Product Revenue: We factor in the financial performance of the product under scrutiny.

Direct Infringement: Occurs when someone directly copies, makes, uses, sells, or imports a patented invention without permission.
