[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>, the most vital element is a Patent Claim as it tells the ambit of protection. Even in the instance of a Patent Infringement, Patent Claims play a vital role. Hence, whenever Patent owners try to prove a violation, they map those sets of claims or the various elements in the claims to different products’ features.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf all the elements are not present in the product, then only partial mapping is obtained. So, to convert this mapping into a complete mapping, this is known as EoU (Evidence of Use); <\/em><\/strong>one needs to change the claims as per the product documentation. This complete process is known as Directed Prosecution<\/em><\/strong>, wherein one directs the prosecution to make sure that the final outcome (the EoU) can be used to prove the violation by competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Why should we\nopt for Directed Prosecution?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe\npresent pandemic situation highly impacted the economy, which has put various\nbudget constraints on different companies. On the other hand, international\ncompetition is also increasing. So due to this, there are several expectations\nthat have been changing and because of which everybody wants to have maximum\nprofit with the least amount of inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directed\nProsecution is something that will create value for everyone. For this process,\nyou can refer to your recently filed Patent applications and granted Patents\nthat have open family members because the essential idea is to convert all of\nthese into Fundamental Patents<\/em><\/strong>, which will lead to a robust Patent\nPortfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDirected\nProsecution is an essential exercise with most of the big companies or mainly\nthe top 100 companies or entities; most of them, almost 80 to 90% of them, do some\nkind or the other type of Directed Prosecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
