Cybersecurity Patents and Patent Landscape Analysis
Software Patent Strategy
Information security in cyberspace has become extremely crucial and digital innovations to protect software products require appropriate patent protection. Patent attorney develops strong patent strategy for innovation assets relating to cybersecurity, computer related inventions, software, artificial intelligence and machine learning, including process and product patents.
Information Security
Intellectual Property (IP) in information security space is generated when innovative solutions are developed. Latest technology tools employ strong frameworks using blockchain and cryptography.
Defensive Patent Strategy
In addition to enforcing patent rights to prevent patent infringement, patent owners routinely opt for defensive patent strategies, including pursuing patent licensing opportunities (in-licensing and out-licensing of patents) for additional business revenue opportunities.
Patent Risks
While launching new products based on innovative features, patent owners regularly face risks associated with third party patent rights. Hence, the goal is to minimize the risks and prevent being sued for patent infringement lawsuits. An important strategy to reduce patent infringement risks is to constantly monitor patent landscape to understand scope of patent rights corresponding to patent owned by the relevant patent owners.
Freedom to Operate Patent Search
FTO, or freedom to operate patent search is required to prevent infringement of third-party patent rights. The FTO patent searches are performed for analyzing granted patents in a specific jurisdiction. Patent owners and innovators interested in FTO patent search (FTO patent analysis) understand the importance of FTO projects that are aimed at commercially exploiting patent rights without the risks of patent infringement. Therefore, FTO covers thorough review of patent claims corresponding to enforceable patents owned by others in that specific jurisdiction.
Open Source Software
Open source software, or OSS, provides numerous opportunities to the software developers to design innovative digital assets. However, while deploying such innovations at the front-end, it needs to be understood that open source may not always be free to use for commercial purposes. There can be issues that might result from the perspective of patent ownership of the intellectual property rights. Therefore, for innovations employing open source tools, it is essential to determine if there exists a chance of potential patent infringement.
Drafting Software Patents
Patent drafting is an extremely skillful task and writing patent claims for computer related inventions require detailed understanding of novel features to be claimed. The contents of patent application cover comprehensive description of best mode of implementing the innovative software, which is described by way of patent figures or patent drawings illustrating flowcharts, flow diagrams and system architecture.
