Value Delivered
A detailed patent Infringement search revealed that the client’s Organ Transplant Diagnostics patent had future market potential of $20 million. The competing product hadn’t launched yet, so no immediate legal action was advised. Instead, the client gained a strategic edge to proactively enforce their patent rights when the product enters the market.
Problem Solved
The client owned a patent for a novel method of post-transplant donor DNA analysis using DPCR. They wanted to identify potential infringing products in the market. At first, the search focused on top transplant monitoring companies and tracking product innovations at industry conferences. However, the efforts failed to uncover actionable results. Most products lacked key technical details or used different techniques. A more creative and unconventional approach was taken to spot potential infringers.
Solution Offered
Monitoring market leaders and conferences remained a key component. However, a multi-layered search strategy was implemented to go beyond traditional sources. Additional avenues—such as blogs, media coverage, and startup funding rounds—were explored to identify potential infringers.
A key breakthrough came from an unexpected place—a Shark Tank pitch. A televised episode featured a startup working on transplant diagnostics with a strong technical overlap with the client’s patent. This signaled a possible future entry into the U.S. market. Therefore, the client was advised to monitor the startup’s U.S. launch instead of pushing for immediate legal action. This ensured the client could enforce their patent rights at the right time.
