Patent Portfolio Review
We review your patents to cut maintenance costs and raise their value.
Patents need management after registration
Registration is not the end of a patent. Annuities are due every year, and when your business changes direction, patents obtained earlier may no longer fit your current business. As your portfolio grows, it becomes harder to decide which patents to keep, which to strengthen and which to let go.
A patent portfolio review examines all the patents your company owns and weighs their cost against their value.
When you need a review
- When annuity costs are a burden but you do not know what to drop
- When you need to check the strength of your patents before fundraising, a technology valuation or a government certification
- When a competitor launches a similar product and you want to know whether your patents can be enforced
- When you want to make sure there are no gaps before launching a new product
- When you want to monetize unused patents through licensing or sale
What we review
| Item | What we check |
|---|---|
| Status | Remaining term, annuity payments, registration status in Korea and abroad |
| Scope & validity | Whether the claims cover your actual products and whether there is a risk of invalidation |
| Business relevance | Whether the patent is used in current or planned products and business |
| Competitive landscape | Strengths and gaps compared with competitors’ patents |
| Monetization potential | Whether the patent can be used for licensing, sale, valuation or certification |
