Renewal studies

Maintaining a patent portfolio comes with substantial investments at various stages of the lifecycle of a patent. While US law requires patent renewal payments to be made three times during the span of 20 years, most other countries require the payment of an annual renewal fee. Bayslope helps its clients optimize the maintenance of their patent portfolios by identifying patents that can be abandoned, thereby saving costs for our client.

Our unique and extensive approach of patent portfolio analysis includes the use of a framework to assess the strength of patents based on important parameters such as market relevance, claims strength, monetization opportunities, etc. Our findings are documented in a comprehensive, yet easily digestible report that helps our client’s make strategic renewal decisions.
