Areas of Expertise

Patent Analysis

EPS provides Technology Analysis, Claim Analysis, Patent Infringement Analysis, Inter Partes Review (IPR), and Prior Act Analysis.

Trade Secret Analysis

Preserving and growing brand equity, protecting against patent infringement, and employing defenses that mitigate trade secret theft is critical to effectively compete in the international marketplace.

Licensing & Royalties

Intellectual property (IP) often represents the majority of a company’s value and assets; however, accurate and insightful valuations are rare. IP assets merit astute representation and valuation in the sale of business operations, restructuring, financial reporting, or litigation.

Trademarks

Insightful IP valuations require technical knowledge, market assessments, and insights to represent and substantiate their true present and future value to owners. EPS expertly appraises patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
