Patent Acquisition Support 

There are situations when you are working on developing a new project and later you learn that a similar invention already exist in the market. Further there are some situations where a person invented something new and novel which is beneficial for your business but you cannot use that invention because that invention is protected by patent. In these cases it is necessary to acquire the patent from the patent owner for the growth of your business.  

However you have to be careful and discreet about acquiring the patent from the concerned person as if the competitor learns about the acquisition he will try to hamper the deal and will try to take the patent for himself.  

Further acquiring patent is a cautious matter as there might be some issue in the ownership of the patent or there might be some pending litigation on the grant of patent. Further it might be in name of multiple owners in which case you will have to take approval from all the owners. In these cases, acquiring a patent without conducting a due diligence can be harmful for your business and you in the long run. Therefore, it is necessary to get due diligence before acquiring a patent.
