Most patent owners have no idea their patents have been cited by other organisations in their own patent applications. Such citations can be on a grand scale. These other organisations may be potential development collaborators, they might be interested in being acquired by your client or acquiring them. They could even be using your client's technology without permission therefore creating the opportunity for your client to generate multiple streams of income.

IP Harvest can identify which organisations have cited your clients existing published patents and patent applications and can provide them with the key data to enable strategic decisions to be taken. For example, they can then decide whether, or not, to request royalty payments from potential patent infringers.
