Freedom-to-Operate Search on a Vaccine for Type II Diabetes Prevention in US and Europe Jurisdiction

The Challenge

A boutique patent and trademark law firm that specializes in providing fixed cost services to clients utilized our services for carrying a Freedom to Operate Search for their pharmaceutical client.

The Solution

Analystoserve’s expert team studied the disclosure provided by the client and identified important steps that can be retraced and modified from the end product. A patent search, restricted by jurisdiction, was conducted for the US and Europe, and relevant patents were identified using modified and limiting key terms. After identification of the relevant patents, claims of the relevant patents were mapped to the subject product in order to determine the extent of overlap.

Business Impact

The analysis was provided to the law firm and enabled them to accurately identify potential IP bottlenecks and accordingly design necessary work-around against existing vaccines.
