Evidence of Use
Evidence of use (EOU) helps in determining the extent of overlap of claims of a patent onto a product. Evidence of Use provides a textual and graphical comparison between the claims of a patent and a product. This helps with easy and objective determination of overlap between the two. You can use Evidence of Use Analysis in many different scenarios including:
-
Potential infringement: If you suspect that any of your patent assets are being violated, or if you are in the process of selling patent assets, evidence of use study can be helpful in assessing the overlapping products
-
Licensing: Identifying the patents to license-in and license-out, as well as assessment of overlap between claims of a patent to be licensed and corresponding product suite, is crucial for a licensing negotiation
-
Potential litigation: To check that your product unknowingly infringing on others patents or to avoid trolls threats
-
Patent Value indication: Sometimes it is used to find net present value of patent using product cash flows
-
Technology: Many technologies use common subsystems or methods of achieving their means, so patent and product literature studies are critical to identifying the right target companies
