Once a patent is granted, its value depends on how it’s used. Synoptic IP helps clients identify infringers and licensees, build evidence-of-use and claim chart documentation, value and diligence patent assets, and support litigation and licensing programs from strategy through negotiation.
Patent Litigation Support
Synoptic IP helps patent owners assert their rights and pursue infringement claims, or defend against them, with full litigation-readiness support for both plaintiffs and defendants. For plaintiffs, services include evidence-of-use charts, claim construction, validity analysis, and preliminary infringement contention reports; for defendants, the team preps non-infringement defenses, IPR filings, and counter-assertion strategies. Clients get the technical and legal groundwork needed to litigate confidently rather than react under pressure.
Patent Mining
Patent Mining helps portfolio owners identify and prioritize which patents to license, sell, retain, or abandon, turning a large, unwieldy portfolio into a clear action plan. Synoptic IP’s subject-matter experts use a proprietary ranking tool to quickly screen and rate assets, uncover infringements and secondary-market uses, and flag pruning or acquisition opportunities. The result is a faster, more transparent path to monetizing or streamlining a patent portfolio than manual review allows.
Patent Valuation
Synoptic IP’s Patent Valuation service determines the monetary worth of a single patent or full portfolio, supporting licensing, sales, M&A, litigation, audits, insurance, and tax decisions. Using flexible methodologies suited to the technology at hand and thoroughly researched data, the team delivers valuations quickly and at a fraction of typical market rates. This gives clients a defensible value figure to strengthen negotiating position and financial decision-making.
Reverse Engineering
Synoptic IP, working with a partner offering deep electronics expertise, provides reverse engineering analysis of electronic products — including IC technical analysis, chip design and security review, circuit extraction, and process and software-level analysis. This service builds the technical proof base needed to investigate patent infringement, map claims to product features, or inform future product development. Clients gain a detailed, evidence-backed understanding of how a competing product is actually built and works.
Strategic Patent Prosecution Support
This service strengthens a client’s patent portfolio during prosecution by identifying products closely matching pending claim language and recommending claim amendments — filed as continuations or CIPs — that make future infringement easier to establish. Synoptic IP’s team draws on deep experience in infringement litigation and specialized knowledge in areas like memory, video codecs, and microprocessors to guide these strategic changes. The result is a more enforceable, commercially valuable patent application shaped with monetization and enforcement already in mind.
Patent Infringer/Licensee Identification
Synoptic IP’s Patent Infringer/Licensee Identification service performs competitive analysis to pinpoint companies infringing a client’s patents or likely candidates for a licensing deal. It supports goals ranging from generating licensing or sale revenue and blocking competing products, to portfolio monetization and identifying which older patents to prune. Clients get a clear, actionable target list for enforcement or licensing outreach before value is left on the table.
Patent Infringement/Licensing Opportunity Monitoring
This ongoing monitoring service tracks the market for goods and services that infringe a client’s patents and surfaces new licensing opportunities as they emerge, so no patent’s value goes untapped before it expires or becomes obsolete. Synoptic IP’s subject-matter experts continuously screen and rank patents, interpret claims against real products and processes, and identify uses in secondary or adjacent markets. Clients benefit from a proactive, always-on view of where their portfolio is being infringed or could be licensed.

Patent Acquisition Support
Synoptic IP’s Patent Acquisition Support helps companies strategically acquire patents to gain proven, technology-relevant IP — useful for competitive defense, cross-licensing, or filling gaps in a weak patent position. The end-to-end service covers finding a target portfolio’s key deal-driving patents, ranking portfolios with a pass/promote assessment, claim chart analysis, and both qualitative and quantitative valuation to help clients negotiate fair pricing. It’s built for large corporations protecting new technology, SMEs with thin patent coverage, and businesses facing competitive or litigation pressure.
Patent Due Diligence Service
Synoptic IP’s Patent Due Diligence service thoroughly evaluates the strength, enforceability, and legitimacy of a patent or portfolio, giving acquirers the technical and legal insight needed to make sound business decisions. Using separate technical and legal diligence teams, the analysis covers claim scope, likely infringement and validity, territorial coverage, and added product functionality. It’s used for acquisitions, internal audits, portfolio valuation, pre-assertion review, and even bankruptcy proceedings, helping both buyers verify seller claims and sellers substantiate value.
Evidence of Use (EOU)/Claim Chart
Synoptic IP builds Evidence of Use (EoU) and claim charts that map patent claim elements directly to evidence found in an accused product or process, satisfying the ‘all elements test’ that underlies any infringement allegation. Backed by experienced analysts, access to commercial and technical reference databases, and reverse-engineering capabilities, the charts are constructed to hold up in licensing negotiations, damages calculations, and litigation. This gives clients the documented proof needed to confirm infringement before taking legal or commercial action. (Also covers Claim Charting/EOU Identification.)
Specification Mapping
Specification Mapping links the language of a patent’s claims directly to the supporting disclosure in its specification, a key step in assessing claim support, licensing readiness, and litigation exposure. Contact Synoptic IP directly to scope how this service applies to a specific portfolio or matter.
End-to-End Patent/Technology Licensing Support
Synoptic IP’s end-to-end licensing support guides corporations, universities, SMEs, startups, and individual inventors through the full lifecycle of licensing or selling patents and technology. The service identifies target markets, key players, deal-driving patents, and licensing threats or opportunities, while offering flexible cost models and connections to law firm partners, defensive aggregators, and patent pools — all under strict confidentiality. Clients gain a structured, expert-led path to monetizing IP that would otherwise be difficult to mine or negotiate alone.

Supply Chain Market Analysis
Synoptic IP’s Supply Chain Market Analysis evaluates a client’s own or competitors’ supply chains to uncover infringement at the method, device, and component level, identify joint infringement, and spot emerging market trends. The analysis also supports white space analysis for new patent filings and highlights potential collaborators or acquisition targets along the chain. Clients use these insights to make more informed decisions about product strategy, licensing, and patent portfolio growth.
