Aube Research has developed proprietary automation tools specifically for Prior Art Search and Claim Chart Preparation — delivering faster, more consistent outputs while preserving analyst-level accuracy.
Invalidity & Patentability
Aube Research's prior art searches combine deep patent database coverage with non-patent literature (NPL) mining across scientific journals, technical standards, and commercial publications. Our proprietary automation layer accelerates retrieval and de-duplication, while senior analysts evaluate relevance, apply claim mapping, and produce structured, defensible search reports.
Whether for patentability assessment, invalidity analysis, or inter partes review support, our searches are built to withstand scrutiny.
Infringement & Licensing
Accurate, readable claim charts are the backbone of infringement analysis, licensing negotiations, and litigation support. Aube Research accelerates claim chart production through purpose-built tooling while ensuring analyst-level precision in element-by-element mapping and evidence sourcing.
Our deliverables are formatted for immediate use by legal teams, including color-coded element-to-feature mapping and source citations.
Due Diligence & Analysis
Aube Research's document review services apply structured analytical frameworks to large volumes of patent documents, prosecution histories, and technical records. Commonly used in M&A due diligence, licensing audits, and portfolio rationalization exercises.
AI-assisted triage identifies high-priority documents for focused analyst review, ensuring thoroughness without unnecessary delay.
Risk Analysis & Clearance
Before launching a product or entering a market, understanding your freedom to operate is critical. Aube Research conducts systematic FTO searches to identify active patents that may cover your product, technology, or process — across all relevant jurisdictions.
Our reports include validity assessments, claim mapping against your product features, and clear risk tiering, giving legal and business teams what they need to make informed go/no-go decisions.
Competitive Intelligence
Patent landscapes deliver a comprehensive picture of who holds what in a technology space — who the key players are, where the white spaces lie, and how the IP landscape is evolving over time. Aube Research's landscapes are data-rich, visually clear, and strategically oriented.
Used by R&D teams, business development, and IP strategy groups to guide investment, acquisition, and licensing decisions.
Strength & Monetization
Aube Research evaluates patent portfolios along multiple dimensions: claim scope and strength, forward/backward citation networks, prosecution quality, geographic coverage, and commercial relevance. The result is a clear-eyed picture of where your portfolio has strategic value and where gaps or vulnerabilities exist.
Essentiality & Licensing
Aube Research provides rigorous SEP essentiality assessments for major standards including 5G/NR, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, HEVC, and others. We evaluate declared patents against the relevant standard specification sections to determine technical essentiality, supporting licensing negotiations, FRAND rate-setting, and litigation defense.
Litigation & Licensing
Aube Research supports litigation and licensing teams with structured damages estimation analysis, including reasonable royalty frameworks, comparable license analysis, and apportionment studies. Our work is grounded in technical patent analysis and designed to complement formal expert economic opinions.
At Aube Research, artificial intelligence accelerates every phase of our workflow — from search and retrieval to element identification and report structuring. But every analysis is reviewed, validated, and signed off by experienced patent analysts.
This isn't a disclaimer — it's our methodology. The value of AI is in scale and speed. The value of our analysts is in judgment, context, and accountability.
