Shohini’s client, an oil and gas equipment and service provider based in Western Canada, successfully resolved a patent infringement suit. During the process, they took stock of their own IP portfolio and quickly realized that the patent protection of their own technology was sorely lacking. They approached Field Law, looking for ways to have patentability and freedom to operate and play a more prominent role in their product development process.
Shohini reviewed their technology, prioritized devices and methods for patent review, prepared and filed patent applications and provided an overview of the current patent landscape. This overview identified opportunities for her client. As the relationship evolved, Shohini started to provide patent strategy, proactively advising when and where to file for protection to best meet their business goals.
As a result, the client now has a robust portfolio of patent protection with patents granted or pending in all key markets. They have also been able to work on developing tools and systems with patentability in mind, giving them the edge in a very competitive market.
