Infringer Identification
A patent that is being infringed and not enforced is a right being given away for free. Infringer identification is the first step in converting that right into revenue — or stopping the harm. Prism IP's systematic identification methodology finds who is practising your claims, and gives you the evidence to act.
What Is Infringer Identification?
Infringer identification is the systematic process of finding companies or products that are likely practising the claims of your patents without authorisation. It combines market intelligence, technical analysis, and patent claim mapping to produce a ranked list of infringement targets — with supporting evidence.
For patent holders, this intelligence serves two purposes: enforcement and licensing. In enforcement, it provides the factual foundation for cease-and-desist notices and litigation. In licensing, it identifies the companies that have the most to lose from an enforcement action — and are therefore the most motivated to take a licence.
Prism IP's infringer identification work draws on Manvi Mittra's deep experience managing IP enforcement processes within large-scale industrial organisations — where identifying and prioritising infringement targets across thousands of products and dozens of markets is a systematic operational discipline, not a one-off exercise.
What We Deliver
Systematic identification of all products and companies operating in the technology space your patents cover — the universe of potential infringers.
Deep technical analysis of competitor products against your claim elements — using publicly available product documentation, standards filings, and regulatory submissions.
Targets ranked by infringement probability and commercial significance — so you can prioritise your enforcement and licensing resources on the highest-value opportunities.
Sourced, documented evidence for each identified infringer — product specifications, standards compliance statements, published technical papers — organised for legal use.
Recommendations on the optimal approach for each target: licensing negotiation, demand letter, litigation, or continued monitoring — with reasoning for each recommendation.
The market changes. New products enter. New companies are formed. Our ongoing monitoring service ensures you never miss a new infringer entering your space.
