The competitive landscape can be brutal, and commonly is referred to as the Red Ocean--you know, blood in the water with sharks lurking about (yeah, a few lawyer jokes come to mind, but I will restrain myself). Research at Harvard Business Review and elsewhere suggests that the most profitable business strategies are related to finding and/or creating Blue Ocean to reap rewards in a new space. How does that relate to studying patent data? Simple. You first need to understand what patents already exist in the invention-space. Second you need to understand and articulate how your invention is unique. Next you need to write your patent so it makes as many unique and new claims as it possibly can. Then you need to consider all possible opportunities to secure and expand your space. In IP lawyer-speak, this means that your invention needs to have a valid legal scope. If you find out, using our tools, that your invention is in a very competitive space (sharks in the bloody ocean), you may want to forego the costs associated with pursuing patent protection. IPstreet.com can help by searching millions of patents and simplifying the complexities of the data into an intuitive "scatter plot" that identifies your idea in context of the universe of patents and patent-pending applications. Ultimately, we can provide important business intelligence from the immense and excessive information available. Our goal is to take TMI (too much information) and report it to you which will better inform your business decisions. If you are searching for questions such as, "how to patent my idea, " or "how to patent my idea," then you've come to the right place. IPStreet.com's patent search tools are designed with you in mind. Using the patent search software, you can better understand how to patent your invention or patent idea, patent duration and find an experienced patent lawyers.
