The North American innovation environment now faces a formidable challenge: unseen adversaries leveraging patents to extract value rather than create it.

Standard‑essential patent (SEP) owners deploy a strategy of aggressive declaration to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and 3GPP standard‑setting records.

Artificial intelligence revolutionizes how analysts interpret intellectual property data. In Canada, technology stakeholders monitor breakthroughs with keen interest because AI transforms legacy processes.

Innovators across Canada increasingly recognize that IP market intelligence plays a decisive role in maintaining competitive advantage.

For Indian startups with global ambitions, patenting innovations is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. But a surprising number of early-stage companies stumble at the very beginning.

In a world where intellectual property (IP) often outvalues physical assets, a silent war is raging—one that has already impacted over $300 billion in global tech markets. The weapon of choice? Patent invalidation.

Patent search tools are essential in intellectual property for ensuring that new ideas are original and eligible for patenting.

In 2025, patent offices in the U.S. and EU are seeing a significant rise in rejection rates for patent applications.

Imagine this: You've invested months fine-tuning your gizmo, thousands of dollars on patent lawyers, and a gazillion hours crafting the ideal patent application. Then splash  your app is rejected on account of a five-second drawing mistake. I've witnessed it happen far too many times. 

In the rapidly changing technology landscape, intellectual property (IP) is one of the most potent weapons. Every smartphone, app, or chip has a thick thicket of patents that set the boundaries of innovation. 

In patent offices across the globe, a shocking statistic faces creators: 68% of patent filings eventually fail to reach granted status on the first try. The statistic reflects not only lost intellectual property protection but wasted R&D investment, lost market opportunity, and competitive exposure. Overlying these failures is a common denominator—insufficient groundwork in patent searching and application drafting.

For early-stage startups with revolutionary innovations, patents are a key asset that can drive long-term success. Yet, patenting across the world comes with many traps that can undermine protection, waste resources, or leave expensive legal weaknesses.

Bringing an idea to life is an exciting journey for any entrepreneur. However, protecting that idea is just as crucial as developing it.

A prior art search is a crucial step in the patenting process, helping innovators determine whether their invention is novel and non-obvious

In the fast-paced world of innovation, intellectual property (IP) protection is a cornerstone of success.

Patent research involves the systematic analysis of existing patents to gather information about technologies, inventors, competitors.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, innovation is the driving force behind progress.

A well-drafted and properly filed patent application is a crucial step in safeguarding your innovation.

As the global economy becomes increasingly driven by innovation, the monetization of intellectual property (IP) has taken center stage.

The traditional view of patents as a tool for competitive advantage is evolving.
