INFRINGEMENT DETECTIVE™
Someone may already be using your patent without a license.
Most patent owners never find out — not because it isn’t happening, but because finding out takes work most firms won’t do for less than five figures. We built a system that does it in days, identifies likely targets by name, and gives you a record you can take to a licensing conversation or to counsel.
Willful infringers can owe enhanced damages plus attorneys’ fees. The first step is not a lawsuit. It is knowing what is out there.
Want to know if someone owes you additional revenue?
Inventiply reports are decision-support analysis, not legal advice or legal opinions. Formal legal work is performed by DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel.
Infringement Detective maps likely unauthorized use of your IP — by category, by named target, ranked by commercial significance.
Infringement Detective™ is built with DeepLaw LLP‘s patent litigators — the people who have actually taken these cases to court. It identifies who is likely using your patents or trademarks without a license, ranks them by commercial significance, and builds the record you need before anyone makes a move.
We identify likely infringers, research their likely revenue from your IP and their likely litigation posture, and give you a priority for which ones to approach for a settlement or an ongoing license.
We build a record so you can approach all of them from a position of maximum knowledge and credibility.
If you don’t already have legal counsel, we can refer you to DeepLaw to map a strategy and help you architect the best team.
PATENT INFRINGEMENT
Competitors shipping your claims
We map competing products against your patent claims to identify likely unlicensed use — including the design-arounds an enforcement campaign might trigger.
TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT
Infringements of your trademarks
We scan corporate and trademark registrations and applications, online marketplaces, and domain portfolios for use that creates confusion with or dilutes your trademark.
The Infringement Report Ladder
Infringement work has its own ladder, from a free scan that tells you if you have reason to move forward to a monetization action plan. Each rung builds on the one before it — you move as far as the opportunity warrants.
Free Infringement Scan
A high-level scan of your IP against obvious competing uses. Identifies whether a deeper investigation is warranted.
Infringement Landscape Report
Once we know there may be infringers of your IP, we can do a full mapping of potential infringers across all IP types — ranked by likely strength of claim and commercial significance.
Evidence-of-Use Chart
A claim-mapped chart documenting infringers’ specific instances of use — the standard format for licensing discussions and demand letters.
Monetization Action Plan
A prioritized roadmap of licensing targets, demand-letter candidates, and escalation recommendations — with estimated value ranges and recommended sequencing.
License first. Escalate only when warranted.
A licensing conversation — not a lawsuit — is usually the right first move. A formal demand can close doors a licensing offer would have opened. We build the record that gives you maximum credibility at the table, and we help you decide which table to sit at first.
When the infringement appears willful or blatant, the calculus shifts. Either way, Infringement Detective does not tell you what to do — it tells you what the facts support. The formal legal work, when you need it, goes through DeepLaw or the patent counsel best suited to the jurisdiction and the target.
