Why is Copperpod IP the Best Patent Research Firm?

5 min readMay 25, 2023

Humans have always relied on their creativity and imagination to invent technologies and objects for improving the quality of life. Before the late 17th century, these inventions and works were displayed in public places, making them easily accessible to anybody for copying without any restriction or charge. The significance of such innovations became apparent over time when humans realized the worth of these intellectual property assets. Intellectual property assets like patents, trademarks, or registered designs became worth more than just some documentation for companies to protect. In today’s business environment, Intellectual Property (IP) is widely acknowledged as an amalgamation of legal and business assets.

Handpicked from some of the world’s most prestigious universities like Cornell University, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, and the Indian Institutes of Technology, Copperpod IP provides deep technical expertise on patent litigation and patent monetization campaigns. Our analyst teams are carefully curated to ensure that each analyst brings unique skills and expertise — and together provide the client with not only the most accurate but also the most holistic research to improve technical accuracy of legal arguments.

Innovation and Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property fosters innovation and economic prosperity. Whether the value is created through new technology, business models, or products and services, innovation is the driving factor behind it.

Being the primary source of both long-term economic development and improved quality of life, innovation is crucial for a functional society and a prosperous economy. Intellectual Property is the medium of protecting this innovation and ensuring sustainable advancement of technology. IP drives not just innovation but also trade, competition and taxes.

Copperpod IP recognizes the strengths of a geographically and culturally diverse nature of innovation — and leverages the synergies of our diverse team to deliver cost-effective and accurate patent research to clients. With presence in United States, Europe, India, and Japan, our team of experts works closely with outside counsel, in-house counsel and other client stakeholders throughout the patent monetization and IP litigation lifecycle.

We employ highly sophisticated tools and software to speed up the source code process while guaranteeing that no essential piece of code is overlooked.

Our team collaborates with outside counsel and in-house counsel to not only categorize documents based on whether they are responsive to a case but also to identify critical evidence as early as possible in the case. Our document review experts are familiar with document review platforms such as Relativity, CS Disco, and Concordance.
