Application Review

Vitek’s Application Review service is for tech companies looking to develop a sophisticated IP strategy and create a valuable patent portfolio.

Our expert engineers and patent professionals review every client Notice of Allowance. Patents that provide opportunities for strategic continuations will be selected to be analyzed in the Application Review process. With a focus on core Target Competitors, Vitek will recommend claim adjustments that will create stronger potential reads on key competitors. Recommendations may also include entirely new claim suggestions for prosecution counsel to consider.

The resulting deliverable is detailed claim adjustment recommendations and the specification language that supports these adjustments. In addition, a detailed claim chart on a Target Competitor is delivered to highlight the potential read should recommended claim adjustments be allowed. Vitek’s team works directly with existing prosecution counsel to extract more value out every filing.
