Testing & Pre-Litigation

One step ahead.

Patent disputes are won long before the oral hearing. We test, prepare and de-risk cases, whether we are building our own filing or helping a client decide whether to enforce, defend or acquire.

What we offer

More than the courtroom.

Alongside contentious proceedings, we provide the technical and strategic groundwork that determines how a case will unfold.

In-house testing

Our own test set-ups verify infringement and essentiality across mobile and video technologies: 4G/5G cellular test cases (using an in-house Amarisoft Callbox and network drive tests) as well as HEVC and streaming test cases. Where an investigation calls for it, we coordinate expert testing through a broad network of specialists.

Pre-litigation preparation

Preliminary infringement analysis (with testing where needed) and preliminary invalidity analysis, including prior-art searches and prepared fallback positions. You enter proceedings knowing where you stand, backed by evidence.

Due diligence & FTO

Portfolio evaluation for enforcement, acquisition or investment, and freedom-to-operate, infringement and validity opinions to support confident business decisions.

How we work

The pre-litigation workflow.

A structured path from first question to a clear go / no-go decision.

01

Assess

Scope the technology, the patents and the commercial objective: enforcement, defence, licensing or acquisition.

02

Test

Preliminary infringement analysis, with in-house or coordinated expert testing where the technology requires it.

03

Prepare

Preliminary invalidity analysis, prior-art searches and fallback positions. For SEPs, essentiality assessment and portfolio ranking.

04

Decide

A clear, evidence-based recommendation on whether to proceed, how, and in which forum.

In-house testing

Proof, not assertion.

We have built our own testing capability across the technologies we litigate: cellular standards (3G, 4G, 5G / LTE) with an in-house Amarisoft Callbox and network drive tests, plus HEVC and streaming test cases, supported by a network of technical experts. That evidence base lets us, and our clients, go into a dispute with confidence.
