-
inform patent strategies;
-
support M&A and licensing due diligence activities;
Due diligence support
One-stop shop for conducting high quality due diligences in the biopharmaceutical sector, in collaboration with specialist and experienced patent attorneys.
Optimise patent portfolios to identify non-strategic patent values to be leveraged to generate economic value through
-
patent right enforcement (litigation or licensing) against identified third party infringement of patent rights;
-
identifying patent licensees, new markets and R&D collaborators;
-
identifying untapped R&D and commercial opportunities;
-
monetisation of non-strategic patnet portfolios;
-

Develop and manage biological sequences search platforms and algorithms (Blast and Smith-Waterman) that facilitate patent and non-patent biosequence searches.
In collaboration with experienced engineering partners, we build platforms to facilitate search for:
-
proteins and nucleotides searches;
-
CDR (protein and nucleotides) searches;
-
Motif searches (search proteins and nucleotides with up to five mismatches); and,
-
combined sequence searches with keywords.
