Analyzing a patent for errors can be the most important and murky process an IP professional performs....
...IPS has the flashlight to clarify this process
Pre-Issuance Analysis
The Specification Analysis produces reports that show statistics about the elements in the patent, the parts listed in the patent, omitted words, and omitted terms (below).

The Claim Analysis shows all elements in the claim with a claim tree. It shows unique elements and elements with antecedent basis and the issues with both.

Post-Issuance Analysis
Post-Issuance Analysis allows you to analyze the patent for errors after issuance. This is useful in detecting errors made in the filing process or at the patent office.

These analysis techniques have proven time and again to save both an IP firm’s and their clients’ money in the following ways:
- Reducing the man hours spent working on the patent.
- Minimizing potentially costly errors in the patent.
- Reducing disastrous and costly litigation defending the patent.
