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:

  • Which products or methods according to your specifications are already known? Who makes these products or utilizes the methods?
  • Are there any similar products or methods patented and if so, then what can be done about it?
  • What are the use cases for the products or methods specified? Who might be the potential clients for your products or methods?
  • In addition to patents, what kind of intellectual property protection can be leveraged for your product or method?
  • 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?
  • What methods for making your product using specified raw material(s) are known? Which companies are active in this area?
  • In which countries the specific product or method protected by patents? Who are the patent holders?
  • Which other inventions related to your product or method protected by patents? In which countries?
  • Which area-specific inventors are known?
  • What is the patent publication trend in the specific area of your interest?
  • Which area shows the largest increase in published patent publications?
  • 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].
