In intellectual property management, demonstrating a patent’s application or infringement potential can be crucial for enforcing rights, defending against claims, or pursuing licensing agreements. An Evidence of Use (EoU) / Claim Charts service provides a structured, claim-by-claim analysis that compares patent claims to specific products, technologies, or processes. Our EoU and claim chart services help clients substantiate infringement cases, evaluate licensing opportunities, and maximize the value of their patents.

Evidence of Use (EoU) / Claim Charts:

An Evidence of Use (EoU) / Claim Chart is a detailed document that maps the elements of a patent’s claims to corresponding features in a product or technology. This analysis is often prepared for a variety of strategic purposes, such as:

• Infringement Analysis: Establishing a basis for enforcing a patent against potential infringers by demonstrating where infringement occurs.
• Licensing and Monetization: Supporting patent licensing by providing clear evidence that a patented invention is being used by others.
• Litigation Support: Strengthening legal arguments by showing detailed evidence of patent claim implementation.

Key Benefits of Evidence of Use (EoU) / Claim Charts

• Enhanced Patent Enforcement: EoU/Claim Charts provide strong evidence that can be used to initiate infringement claims, lawsuits, or settlement negotiations.
• Informed Licensing Decisions: For patent holders considering licensing, EoU charts highlight potential targets and provide evidence of the value and application of a patent.
• Clear Communication of Patent Scope: Claim charts make it easy for stakeholders to understand how a product or technology aligns with specific patent claims.
• Strategic Portfolio Management: EoU/Claim Charts assist in identifying valuable patents within a portfolio, which can guide investment and monetization strategies.
