Recent Achievements
Chinese and Japanese language search
For a law firm client of ours, we provided Chinese and Japanese language invalidity search. The resultsuncovered with the search were used for re-examination and proved to be very helpful. The results that werefound did not have any English language family members and did not show up in English language search forChinese and Japanese jurisdictions.
Patent Licensing Support
Assisted a US based company in successfully out-licensing a set of more than 50 patents to multiple players,resulting in revenue worth more than 60 million dollars. Effectual Services worked closely with the companyattorneys to identify target products and companies, prepare evidence of use charts, preparing infringementcontentions and providing support through litigation by providing claim to specification charts, preparingresponse to invalidity contentions etc.
Patent Proofreading Services
Performed proofreading for a soon to be litigated patent. The proofreading resulted in identifying 4 criticalerrors in claims, 12 in specification and 3 in drawings and 1 on face page of the patent. The analysis enabledclient to file a Certificate of Correction in a timely manner before initiation of an infringement lawsuit.
