Value Delivered
This strategic approach led to the discovery of crucial prior art that strengthened the client’s position in an ongoing patent invalidation case involving pool-cleaning robots.
Problems Solved
In the search for invalidating prior art within the niche domain of pool cleaning robots, the team encountered a substantial hurdle—after an exhaustive analysis of approximately 2,000 patents, they hit a dead-end with 70% of the search territory covered.
The identification of the Ambrogio system, while being the closest in technical relevance, was a red herring due to its design for lawn cleaning—a distinct category. Complications escalated because the search criteria required adherence to the particular technology of pool cleaning robots, sharply narrowing the path for discovery.
Solution Offered
Refining the search approach helped subtly draw parallels from the technology behind Ambrogio.
This shift in perspective led to NemH20, a pool-cleaning robot harboring a crucial connection as it was conceived by the same innovators responsible for the Ambrogio robot.
