Who are the major players in my field? What patents to they have?
Patenting activity in a field can provide valuable competitive information to a business. Vertex can provide a comprehensive patenting mapping service that will clearly show who the competition is and how their IP correlates with yours. We have a portfolio of technologies with significant commercial potential, but there is a key element missing. How can we acquire the missing technology without having to undertake the development ourselves? Companies often augment their existing technologies by acquiring rights from others (i.e. licensing) or through means such as contract development. Vertex can assist you with determining which approach would best suit your specific needs and then help you accomplish the acquisition.
