Client : Our client is a pioneering company in sustainable water solutions, sought the expertise of Effectual Services for a patent landscape study focused on the integration of alternative energies for desalination technology.

Challenges : Our client is embarking on a mission to revolutionize desalination by incorporating alternative energies into the process. However, they face several hurdles :

• Intermittency of Renewable Energy : Utilizing renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, introduces intermittency issues, as these sources are not consistently available. This poses a significant challenge for maintaining a continuous and reliable power supply for desalination.

• Energy Storage : To tackle the intermittent nature of renewable energy, effective energy storage systems are essential. Green Water Innovations needs advanced energy storage solutions to capture excess energy during peak production periods and release it during desalination operations.

• Energy Density : Certain renewable energy sources have lower energy density compared to conventional fossil fuels, making it challenging to generate the high energy demands necessary for desalination processes, particularly at large scales.

• Cost-Effectiveness : The substantial initial investment in renewable energy infrastructure raises concerns about the overall cost-effectiveness of integrating alternative energies with desalination.

• Efficiency : Traditional desalination techniques, such as reverse osmosis, rely heavily on a consistent and high-quality power supply to maintain optimal efficiency. Integrating renewable energies while preserving high efficiency levels is a demanding technical task.

Solution : Effectual Services is conducting a comprehensive patent landscape study, offering tailored solutions to address our client's technical challenges :

• Hybrid Systems : The study highlights various patents related to hybrid renewable energy systems that combine multiple sources, such as solar and wind, with efficient energy storage solutions. These hybrid systems ensure a consistent and reliable power supply for desalination operations, mitigating intermittency issues.

• Advanced Energy Storage : Patents related to advanced energy storage technologies, including cutting-edge battery systems and innovative capacitors, are identified. These solutions effectively capture surplus renewable energy and optimize its release during desalination processes.

• Energy-Efficient Desalination Techniques : The study showcases literature related to energy-efficient desalination methods, such as forward osmosis and pressure-retarded osmosis. These techniques reduce energy requirements, making them more compatible with renewable energy sources.

• Innovative Materials : Emerging patents related to advanced materials for desalination membranes and systems are identified. These materials enhance energy efficiency and contribute to the development of systems better suited for alternative energy integration.

• Policy and Incentives : The study recognizes patents related to policy frameworks, incentives, and subsidies that encourage the adoption of renewable energy in desalination projects, making them financially viable and sustainable.

• Research and Development : Ongoing research and development efforts in both renewable energy and desalination technologies are emphasized as critical for overcoming technical challenges and optimizing the integration of alternative energies for desalination.

File Wrapper Analysis of cited documents

Identified a Relevant Prior Art through File Wrapper Analysis of cited documents :

Few days back, we received a quick invalidation search request where the client gave us a short deadline. The client had already done some searching from his end but did not find any prior art that disclose the novelty part. But he was sure, that there will a prior art as the list of references cited during prosecution was a huge, so chances of missing out was more. When client shared his requirement with all this information to us, we quickly start understanding of the subject patent. After Subject patent understanding, we started reading file wrapper and during our analysis we came across a strong rejection having quiet similar claim elements as that of subject patent but missing exact novelty of the subject patent explicitly. As a team, we strategies that our first step will be analyzing the references cited in file wrapper and utilize our time wisely. To our victory, we came across a good reference from that cited list that discloses the novelty point and the reference was not discussed during prosecution history. We identified other references also that were promising and pulled off the project really well. The client really liked our work and the approach. So, this time, a smart approach works.

IP Portfolio Against their key

One of our client requested us to help monetize their IP portfolio against their key competitors. The requirement was to identify potential infringing products from the competitors. Firstly, we input the provided granted patents from our client portfolio through our in-house ranking tool in order to determine their patent strength. Our ranking tool is designed to determine the value of a patent based on 10 key parameters, for example forward citations, Litigation status, family legal status, geographical coverage, etc. Once the portfolio was ranked based on the key parameters, as a next step, we manually categorized the portfolio based on the prepared taxonomy. The result was a bucket of patents that were domain-specific and highly valued. The next task was to identify potential targets from competitors' product and services portfolio. We analyzed each competitor product thoroughly against all the categorized patents of our client and we gave them a ranking, 'H', 'M', or 'L' for high, medium, and low respectively, based on the infringement probability against each granted asset. Using this approach, we were able to identify a good number of potential infringing products from the vast and varying product portfolio of competitors. The client was highly impressed by our output.

A client once approached us for an Infringement search project for a set of patents against some particular target companies.

We performed the product search on the given target companies and identified some high potential infringing cases against the products of the given target companies. We provided different categorization of each patent against the identified product, as required by the client. We finally shared our output in the form an excel report containing analysis comments, patent understanding, source links, categorization, for each patent. We were appreciated by the client over the call.

A client once approached us for an Infringement search project for a set of patents, it was an open search project.
