Infringement Risk Screening

Mitigate intellectual property risks in commercial activities through authoritative Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis.

Newly developed technologies or features often risk falling into patent landscapes pre-established by competitors. Possessing your own intellectual property rights does not automatically grant you the freedom to commercialize your products.

We deconstruct your product’s technical features from their underlying logic and conduct comparative analyses against active patents in global target markets (such as the US, EU, China, and Japan). We help you transition from "passive defense" to "proactive compliance" before mass production or market entry, safeguarding your business against costly litigation, product removals, or customs seizures.

• Multi-dimensional Technical Deconstruction：In-depth analysis of technical paths and extraction of key Technical Features to ensure the search scope covers all potential risk points.
• Global Precise Patent Search：Accessing patent databases across 100+ jurisdictions to perform comprehensive, multilingual claim screening tailored to your target markets.
• Patent Validity & Status Verification：Real-time verification of patent legal status (expiry, maintenance fees, or pending invalidation proceedings) to identify public domain technologies available for free use.
• Design-around Consulting：For identified high-risk patents, our senior patent engineers provide strategic technical modification advice to help R&D teams successfully bypass the scope of protection.

Compliance at the Source: Proactive IP Compliance Audits for Critical Components in Global Supply Chains

Even a minor third-party component involving intellectual property infringement can trigger a lethal "domino effect," leading to Section 337 investigations, customs seizures, or substantial damage claims for the finished product in international markets.

Our "Component & Supplier IP Compliance Audit" service is designed to shift IP risk management from reactive response to the proactive "procurement entry" stage. We go beyond verifying the authenticity of supplier patent certificates; we delve into the technical core to conduct Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) analysis across global target markets, including the U.S., Europe, Japan, and South Korea. Through deep-dive ownership verification and legal contractual fortification, we help clients build a "compliance moat" spanning from individual components to the finished product, ensuring legal certainty at every link of the supply chain and safeguarding global business operations.

• Ownership & Chain of Title：Auditing IP rights acquired by suppliers via third-party licensing, including rigorous reviews of license scope, geographical restrictions, and sublicensing entitlements.
• FTO Analysis：Conducting targeted patent searches based on the technical features of key outsourced components in destination countries to identify and mitigate potential third-party IP barriers.
• OSS Compliance：Scanning embedded software or firmware within components to identify "viral" open-source licenses (such as GPL), preventing the risk of forced disclosure of the finished product's source code due to component-level compliance flaws.
• Indemnity & Contractual Shield：Assisting legal departments in drafting and refining specialized IP indemnity clauses, clearly defining supplier liability for infringement—including legal fees, penalties, and inventory losses.

Through global legal search and commercial comparison, we provide in-depth compliance clearance for your brand name and visual identity (Logo), clearing intellectual property obstacles for global market access.

Before a brand enters China, the U.S., or other global markets, a simple "identical name check" is far from sufficient to ensure your commercial security. Legal definitions of trademark infringement vary significantly across jurisdictions: China operates primarily on a "First-to-File" basis, while the U.S. prioritizes "First-to-Use" rights.

Our service goes beyond basic database queries by penetrating four critical dimensions: legal risk, likelihood of confusion, commercial competition, and cultural exclusion. By aligning with specific national examination standards and local market conditions, we evaluate whether your brand faces potential trademark rejections, infringement litigation, or strategic blocking by competitors in your target markets.

• Multi-dimensional Text Search：A comprehensive search of global trademark databases focusing on your brand name to identify risks related to visual similarity, phonetic equivalence (transliteration risks), and conceptual identity (translation risks).
• Visual & AI Logo Screening：Utilizing Vienna Classification codes and AI-powered image recognition to analyze logo composition, color schemes, and core visual elements, preventing visual confusion with established brands or existing copyrighted works.
• Common Law & Unregistered Rights Search：Specifically for "First-to-Use" jurisdictions like the U.S., we conduct deep-web searches across social media, e-commerce platforms (Amazon/eBay), independent sites, and industry news to uncover potential threats from unregistered prior rights.
• Linguistic & Cultural Audit：Native linguistic experts review your brand name for negative slang meanings, religious taboos, or linguistic misunderstandings, ensuring a positive cross-cultural brand image.
• Distinctiveness & Registrability Analysis：We analyze whether your brand terms are generic or descriptive within your industry, assess the feasibility of obtaining legal protection in target markets, and provide strategies to enhance distinctiveness.

Precisely identify and intercept potential copyright infringement risks before your posters, videos, and marketing copy go live.

An unauthorized font, a randomly sourced image, or even an unlicensed background music track can be precisely targeted by copyright owners, exposing your enterprise to costly legal litigation and brand PR crises.

Our "Marketing Material Copyright Compliance Audit" is designed to build a security firewall for global brand operations. We combine automated technical scanning with manual reviews by senior IP consultants to ensure full alignment with copyright laws across multiple jurisdictions, including China’s Copyright Law, the U.S. Copyright Act, and the EU’s DSM Directive.

• Copy & Trademark Check：Prevent "content scraping" controversies caused by excessive overlap with existing original content. We screen for the unauthorized use of registered trademarks as descriptive terms, particularly focusing on industry-specific forbidden keywords.
• AI Content Assessment：Evaluate copyright ownership and potential infringement risks for AI-generated materials based on current regulations in major jurisdictions. We review AI prompts for specific artist style references that may trigger ethical or legal disputes.
• Jurisdiction-Specific Analysis：Provide market-specific compliance strategies based on the varying definitions of "Fair Use" across different regions, including the US, EU, Japan, and China.
• Evidence Preservation：Organize and archive all licensing agreements, invoices, and disclaimers for compliant materials to build a robust and traceable chain of title.

Proactively identify risks before TRO issuance to safeguard your funds and account security.

In the cross-border e-commerce landscape, Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) have become the most daunting compliance challenge for global sellers due to their sudden nature, lack of transparency, and immediate freezing of funds. Traditional services typically intervene only after funds are frozen, at which point businesses are already trapped in a defensive position, facing high settlement costs or protracted litigation.

Our TRO Risk Warning Service provides 24/7 in-depth monitoring of global federal court filings (such as the U.S. PACER system), "troll" law firm activities, brand enforcement trends, and platform-specific infringement rules. We issue critical alerts during the "golden window" before an injunction formally takes effect. Beyond simply identifying risks, we utilize AI algorithms and expert analysis to predict potential "Sealed Cases," enabling enterprises to adjust inventory and withdraw funds before any financial loss occurs.

• Real-time Tracking of Global Court Filings：Deeply integrated with the U.S. PACER system and various state courts to obtain real-time updates on Schedule A mass-filing cases. Multi-dimensional modeling and analysis of "Sealed Cases" to pre-judge potential brand targets based on plaintiffs' common tactics and historical trajectories.
• In-depth Detection & Profiling of "Troll" Law Firms：Dynamic profiling of law firms that frequently initiate TROs, monitoring their newly represented brands, new evidence collection methods, and recent activity levels. Identification of "undercover buyer" accounts associated with law firms, providing instant risk alerts for suspicious inquiries and ordering behaviors.
• Inventory & New Listing Risk Scanning：Utilizing computer vision technology to conduct full scans of product titles, description keywords, logos, and copyrighted patterns within client stores. Automatically matching against the world's latest registered enforcement trademarks, design patents, and copyright databases to prevent new risks from intellectual property updates.
• Industry-wide Infringement Trend Alerts：Regularly publishing TRO risk briefings for specific categories such as apparel, electronics, and toys. Issuing immediate "Red Alerts" to relevant industry clients when a popular holiday or trending product becomes a high-risk target for enforcement.
• 24-Hour "Golden Window" Crisis Management SOP：Providing standardized response protocols post-alert, including but not limited to product takedown advice, secure fund transfer paths, and inventory clearance strategies. Tailoring "risk avoidance roadmaps" for clients to ensure maximum loss mitigation before the injunction reaches the platforms.
