Addressing your case needs

Research and Development (R&D) is a high-risk endeavor with a potential for high rewards that requires significant financial and human resources. NextGenRnD assists you by providing answers to the following R&D and intellectual property related questions:

(1) Which products or methods according to your specifications are already known? Who makes these products or utilizes the methods?

(2) Are there any similar products or methods patented and if so, then what can be done about it?

(3) What are the use cases for the products or methods specified? Who might be the potential clients for your products or methods?

(4) In addition to patents, what kind of intellectual property protection can be leveraged for your product or method?

(5) How can you find a partner — a company operating in the field of development of your interest — to combine your capacities to create the specific product corresponding to precisely defined specific requirements by your client?

(6) What methods for making your product using specified raw material(s) are known? Which companies are active in this area?

(7) In which countries the specific product or method protected by patents? Who are the patent holders?

(8) Which other inventions related to your product or method protected by patents? In which countries?

(9) Which area-specific inventors are known?

(10) What is the patent publication trend in the specific area of your interest?

(11) Which area shows the largest increase in published patent publications?

(12) Which scientific publications relevant to my method or product available?

We provide the interpretation and the analysis of both patent and non-patent information related to products, methods, technologies and their use cases.

Here is an example of an R&D partner & technology search case performed by NextGenRnD: The Development of Active Lead-free Solders [R&D partner & technology search case].

We help answer the “How to recover and amplify financial and human resources invested into Research and Development?” question by providing advice on patent strategy and guidance on commercialization.
