+91-1141 8355 50Client Overview
Our client is an innovative health technology company specializing in the development of wearable devices aimed at improving patient care and enhancing the overall healthcare experience. With a portfolio of cutting-edge products that incorporate AI-driven health monitoring, the company strives to stay ahead of market trends and deliver unique, life-changing technologies.
Challenge
The client had recently developed a revolutionary wearable health tech device designed to track real-time vital signs and predict health outcomes with unprecedented accuracy. However, they were uncertain about two critical aspects of their new product:
- Patentability: The client needed to ensure that their invention was novel and non-obvious enough to meet patent requirements, protecting their intellectual property in a competitive market.
- Marketability: They also sought to understand whether their innovation had strong commercial potential, given the crowded market for wearable health devices, and what their position would be relative to competitors.
This combination of patentability and marketability concerns made it necessary for the client to conduct a comprehensive analysis before proceeding with a patent filing and commercial launch.
Our Approach
anovIP was engaged to perform a Patentability & Marketability Search to address both the client’s concerns. Our approach combined expertise from multiple divisions of anovIP, including Patent Analytics, Market Research, and Strategic IP Counsel.
1. Comprehensive Report
The findings of both the patentability and marketability searches were compiled into a single, comprehensive report, delivered in three weeks. The report included:
- Patentability Assessment: An overview of prior art, the client’s invention’s novelty, and any modifications needed to improve the chances of obtaining a patent.
- Marketability Assessment: A deep dive into the potential market size, competitor analysis, and commercial viability of the wearable health device.
- Strategic Recommendations: Based on our findings, we provided actionable recommendations on how to proceed with the patent application and market entry. This included suggestions for differentiation in the market, target customer segments, and areas to focus on for securing intellectual property rights.
- R&D Strategy Development: Based on the technology and market insights, we provided a roadmap for aligning R&D efforts with the forecasted market shifts. This included suggested focus areas for future innovation, potential partnerships, and acquisition targets for strengthening their IP portfolio.
2. Marketability Search
Simultaneously, our Market Research and Strategic IP Counsel teams analyzed the commercial viability of the wearable device. We focused on several key factors:
- Market Size and Growth Potential: Our team conducted market research to estimate the market size for wearable health devices, considering factors like trends in health monitoring, aging populations, and the increasing adoption of AI in healthcare.
- Competitive Landscape: We assessed the competitive landscape, identifying key players and their products. We also analyzed any gaps in the market that the client’s device could fill, such as features that competitors were lacking or untapped customer segments.
- Commercial Potential: Based on the market research, we provided insights into the likely commercial success of the device. This included evaluating potential barriers to entry, such as regulatory hurdles, and identifying the best market positioning strategies.
- SWOT Analysis: We performed a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) for the product, helping the client understand its competitive position and areas for improvement
3. Patentability Search
Our Patent Analytics division led the search to evaluate the novelty of the client’s invention. The process involved:
- Exhaustive Prior Art Search: We conducted an in-depth search across multiple patent databases and technical journals to identify any prior patents or publications that were similar to the client’s wearable health device
- AI and Machine Learning Integration: Our team assessed the identified prior art to evaluate the novelty of the client’s technology. We also examined the inventive step, ensuring that the client’s innovation was not obvious in light of the existing body of knowledge.
- Flexible and Foldable Displays: A detailed report was generated, outlining the results of the search and highlighting any potential hurdles the client may face in obtaining a patent. We also provided recommendations for potential modifications to improve patentability.
