Technical Infringement Assessment — Engineering Precision

Infringement analysis determines whether a specific product, process, or method infringes one or more claims of an identified patent. This is a highly technical exercise requiring both engineering understanding of the accused product and precise legal understanding of claim scope and construction. At Bullseye, we provide the technical engineering layer of this analysis — element-by-element claim mapping with documented product evidence — that supports the formal legal opinion.

Literal vs Doctrine of Equivalents Analysis

Literal infringement requires that every element of a claim be present in the accused product exactly as claimed. For each claim element, we identify whether the product's corresponding feature satisfies the element literally — and document the specific technical evidence for each finding. Where literal infringement is not present, we assess the Doctrine of Equivalents — whether the product's implementation is substantially similar (performs substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve substantially the same result) to the claimed element.
