Technological Alternatives Study on a Patent

Inventing On Demand - Our flagship service! Whether you want to invent around a competitor’s blocking patent or strengthen your own invention, Crafitti’s TAS service can help you craft multiple technological alternatives to an invention in double quick time!

Opportunity Finding for a Patent/ Invention

How many ways can your invention be put to use? Can the invention play a role in other products, technologies, domains and industries? Maximize your invention’s commercialization potential with our Opportunity Finding service.

Patent/Invention/Product Valuation

Our Multi-Dimensional Multi-Perspective valuation methodology combines financial, legal, functional, complexity and collaboration viewpoints in past, present and future scenarios. What you get is a value range that the asset in question may create in a range of possibilities.

IP Ecosystem Audit

Crafitti’s IP Ecosystem Audit involves a detailed analysis of systems, processes and flows that result in intellectual assets getting converted to value. 
The audit process brings world leading concepts from Lean Thinking, TRIZ and Social Network Analysis to understand and analyze a client’s IP systems, processes and strength/ value of IP assets.

IP Strategy for an Enterprise/ IP Cell Creation

If you are an enterprise looking to continuously create (or acquire) IP assets, protect them and generate value from them, you will need structures, processes and people to make this happen on a self-sustaining basis. With our IP Cell Creation service, we help you identify your IP needs and then go on to embed the relevant capabilities in your enterprise in a time-bound engagement.

Novelty/ Prior Art Search

In addition to the regular keyword and classification based approaches, Crafitti uses a TRIZ inspired function-based approach to identify relevant prior art. If you are an inventor, we suggest you use this report as an aid to inventing as well as an aid to the patenting process.

Basic and Advanced Invention and Patent Strength Analysis using TRIZ

The analysis provides critical insights into the strength of an invention using TRIZ principles. The comprehensive report includes ‘Level’ of the invention, ‘Contradictions’ present in prior art, solved by the current invention and still remaining to be solved, ‘Inventive Principles’ used and available to be used, a fundamental definition of the ‘Ideal Final Result’, a detailed ‘Function Model’ of the invention and mapping of the invention (and relevant prior art) to ‘Laws and Lines of System Evolution’ and Technology S-curves.

Citation Indices of a Patent

Patents seldom exist in isolation – they cite other patents and get cited as well. Crafitti’s proprietary Ego-Centric and Network Citation Indices based on analysis of Depth 1 and Depth 2 citation networks of a patent identify the most important patents in the expanded citation network of a patent. An excellent approach to zero in on most influential patents in a citation landscape.
