• Research and compare solutions
• Define a product architecture
• Assess technical risks
• Support R&D phases
• Validation and pre-industrialisation
• Enhance the technical value of innovative projects

Patent analysis and technical assessment of patentability

KNOWELEC provides technical support to analyse the prior art, characterise the invention and prepare the information required for industrial property protection.

• Search and analysis of prior art and existing patents
• Identification of new and differentiating technical features
• Structuring of the invention, its variants and embodiments
• Preparation of the technical information, diagrams and results required for the patent file

KNOWELEC supports the project owner in the technical preparation of the patent and in discussions with an industrial property attorney. The legal drafting of claims and the filing procedure remain the responsibility of the industrial property attorney.

An open and structured approach

KNOWELEC combines scientific rigour, industrial experience and openness to creativity to explore different avenues, compare possible approaches and select the most relevant solutions.

The objective is to reduce technical uncertainty, avoid choices that are difficult to industrialise and turn ideas into practical, high-performance and applicable solutions.
