Innovationsvorteile entstehen nicht immer durch die Entwicklung aller Produkte im eigenen Haus. Oftmals ergeben sie sich aus dem Wissen, welche Patente zu erwerben sind, wann sie gekauft werden sollten und wie man sie in strategische Geschäftsvorteile umwandelt. In schnelllebigen Technologiemärkten kann eine rechtzeitige Patentakquisition Fähigkeitslücken schließen, die Marktposition stärken und sofortige Wege zu Wachstum und Patentmonetarisierung schaffen.
Die Patentakquisition ist eine bewusste Strategie, um Eigentums- oder Nutzungsrechte an bestehenden Patenten oder Anmeldungen durch Kauf oder Lizenzierung zu sichern. Mit Klarheit und Disziplin angegangen, ermöglicht sie Organisationen, ihr Portfolio zu erweitern, kritische Technologien zu schützen und kommerziellen Wert freizusetzen, indem langwierige F&E-Zyklen übersprungen werden.
Bei Ingenious e-Brain unterstützen unsere Patentakquisitionsdienste Organisationen dabei, wirkungsvolle Patente zu identifizieren, zu bewerten und zu sichern, die präzise mit den Geschäftszielen, Technologieprioritäten und der langfristigen Portfoliostrategie übereinstimmen.
The process begins by defining the exact field of interest in line with business priorities. This includes developing targeted keyword strategies, relevant patent classifications, jurisdictions of interest such as US, EP, CN, and IN, or specific patent numbers, where applicable. Software-driven tools are then used to generate an initial universe of 100 to 250 potentially relevant patents.
The initial list is curated through a structured evaluation in collaboration with the client. This step confirms alignment with the defined technology focus and narrows the list to approximately 50 to 100 patents that merit deeper assessment.
Patent owners associated with the shortlisted patents are contacted to determine availability for sale or licensing. Unavailable patents are excluded from further consideration, keeping efforts focused and efficient.
For available patents, an in-depth technical and strategic analysis is conducted. Patents are evaluated based on technical scope, market applicability, alignment with patent acquisition objectives, and contribution to broader IP strategy. Technical experts categorize and prioritize patents, typically resulting in a shortlist of 25 to 50 high-potential assets.
Each prioritized patent undergoes evaluation for novelty and non-obviousness against prior art. Eligibility risks and patent lifespan are assessed to ensure enforceability and durability, with preference given to patents offering meaningful remaining term for value creation.
Patents are ranked based on strategic importance, budget considerations, and expected business impact. This step ensures patent acquisition efforts are tightly aligned with both technical ambition and financial objectives.
We support negotiation of commercial terms for the highest-rated patents, typically narrowing to a focused set for acquisition. Upon agreement, transactions are closed efficiently, completing the patent acquisition process.

Unsere Dienstleistungen sind darauf ausgelegt, Unternehmen in den unten genannten Branchen und Sektoren zu unterstützen und ihnen dabei zu helfen, ihre strategischen Ziele zu erreichen.
Patent acquisition is the process of obtaining ownership or usage rights over existing patents or patent applications through assignment or licensing. It enables organizations to expand their IP portfolio without relying solely on internal R&D.
We start by aligning acquisition goals with the client’s technology focus, competitive landscape, and commercialization strategy. Patents are then identified and filtered based on relevance, strength, market applicability, and remaining life.
Risk is mitigated through rigorous technical analysis, prior art assessment, eligibility review, remaining life evaluation, and legal due diligence before any acquisition decision is finalized.
We assess remaining patent life, market adoption trends, and technology evolution to prioritize patents with sustained relevance rather than short-term novelty.
Yes. Our patent acquisition approach is designed to support downstream licensing, enforcement readiness, and broader patent monetization initiatives from the outset.
