This non litigation project has the following business highlights:

(1) Cross licensing of patents

① Conduct due diligence on patents intended for cross licensing: Conduct in-depth analysis of patents intended for cross licensing, including but not limited to the validity, legal status, infringement risk, remaining protection period, and technical value assessment of patents in target countries for overseas expansion, to ensure that enterprises can fully understand and evaluate patent assets, laying a solid foundation for subsequent cross licensing negotiations;

② Develop a negotiation plan: Based on the results of due diligence, tailor a negotiation plan for the enterprise, formulate negotiation strategies, and clarify the negotiation bottom line, that is, on which terms the enterprise cannot compromise; Predict potential issues or points of disagreement, and develop solutions to address these issues or points of disagreement to ensure a smooth negotiation process.

③ Participate in license negotiations: Assist enterprises in negotiating cross licensing. By utilizing professional legal knowledge, extensive negotiation experience, and keen business insight, we help businesses communicate effectively, negotiate for the most favorable licensing conditions, and provide constructive suggestions in a timely manner to promote consensus between both parties.

④ Based on the final agreed licensing plan, draft a cross licensing agreement: After successful negotiations, draft a detailed and rigorous cross licensing agreement based on the confirmed licensing conditions of both parties, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties, specific terms of the license, breach of contract responsibilities, dispute resolution mechanisms, and other key contents to ensure the effectiveness and enforceability of the agreement, providing solid legal protection for the development of the enterprise's overseas business.

(2) Patent invalidation analysis or stability analysis search

① Verify the basic information and latest status of the target patent to ensure a comprehensive and accurate understanding of it, laying the foundation for subsequent analysis work;

② Analyze the technical solution of the target patent and determine its technical field: deeply analyze its technical solution, understand its invention points, technical effects, and implementation methods. At the same time, based on the characteristics of the technical solution, accurately determine its technical field, so that relevant comparative documents can be more accurately located in subsequent patent searches.

③ Conduct patent searches and screening to determine the most suitable comparison documents: Utilize professional patent databases and search tools to conduct extensive patent searches. During the search process, the search results are screened and sorted based on factors such as patent similarity, technical solution relevance, and publication time, ultimately determining the most suitable comparison files. These comparison files will serve as important basis for subsequent patent invalidity analysis or stability analysis.

④ Formulate a search report and issue a legal opinion: Based on the search results and analysis results, form a detailed search report. At the same time, based on the search results, combined with relevant laws, regulations, and judicial practices, a professional legal opinion will be issued to clarify whether the target patent to be exported is invalid or has stability issues, as well as possible reasons for invalidity or stability risks, and provide corresponding legal advice and response strategies for the enterprise.

(3) Comparative analysis of infringement

① In depth analysis of target patents or products: Firstly, a detailed analysis of the target patents or products that overseas enterprises are concerned about, including their technical solutions, design points, scope of claims, etc., to comprehensively understand their protection scope and technical characteristics.

② Comparative analysis: After analyzing the target patent or product, compare the company's own products or technology with the target patent or product one by one, analyze the similarities and differences between the two in terms of technical features, design elements, etc., in order to determine whether there is a risk of infringement.

③ Provide a comparative analysis report: Based on the results of the comparative analysis, form a detailed comparative analysis report, clearly indicating the similarities and differences between the two, as well as possible infringement risk points. At the same time, provide corresponding legal advice and response strategies for enterprises in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and policies of the target country.

(4) Screening patents or products to assist in avoiding designs

① Clear avoidance of design objectives: Based on sufficient communication with overseas enterprises, clarify the avoidance of design objectives, that is, which target countries' patents or product protection scopes need to be avoided to ensure that the enterprise's own products or technologies will not infringe on others' intellectual property rights.

② Extensive search and screening: Based on factors such as the technical field and product characteristics of the enterprise, develop appropriate search strategies to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of search results, and conduct extensive search and screening.

③ In depth analysis of screening results: Conduct in-depth analysis of the selected target country's patents or products, including their technical solutions, design points, scope of claims, etc., to determine whether they conflict with the company's own products or technologies.

④ Provide avoidance design suggestions: Based on the analysis results, provide specific avoidance design suggestions for enterprises, including modifying product designs, adjusting technical solutions, adopting alternative technologies, etc., to ensure that the enterprise's own products or technologies can avoid the protection scope of relevant patents or products in the target country and reduce infringement risks.
