I. Case Introduction
This case demonstrates that ZYIP, a company specializing in intellectual property services, provided global patent risk assessment and response services for the core product of a certain new energy enterprise. In the face of increasingly fierce international market competition, ZYIP used a systematic approach to identify and analyze patent risks, helping the enterprise accurately identify the threats posed by 8 already-authorized high-risk patents and 7 pending high-risk patents. They then formulated effective response strategies and successfully mitigated infringement risks, providing a solid foundation for the enterprise's global market expansion. 


II. Case Details 
1.Customer type/Industry
New energy high-tech enterprises, specializing in the research and development of clean energy technologies and global market expansion. 


2. Customer Pain Points/Problem Description
(1) The product's overseas launch is confronted with complex international patent infringement risks;
(2) There is a lack of systematic understanding of the patent layout of competitors and potential litigation risks;
(3) An urgent need to establish a global intellectual property risk prevention and control system. 


3. Solutions and Processes 
By conducting a comprehensive search and analysis of relevant patents and lawsuits worldwide, we have identified the hidden risks of patent infringement and the explicit risks of litigation: 


Risk category: Concealed risk of patent infringement; Explicit risk of litigation. 
Risk Disclosure: Direct infringement threat to the product; potential risks in the future; risk management for unresolved lawsuits in the supply chain. 
Output results: 8 high-risk patents have been authorized; 7 high-risk patents are currently under review; a comprehensive overview of litigation in this field over the past 10 years.

Multidimensional risk assessment 
① Technical dimension: Analyze the breadth of the patent claims to determine whether they cover the technical features of the target product. Evaluate the quantity of covered features, whether they are core technical features, the strength of our own reserves for these core technical features, and the difficulty of technical avoidance design to assess the overall risk level. 
② Competitive Relationship: Assess whether the patent owner is a core competitor or an affiliated party, analyze their litigation tendencies, and at the same time, examine the strength of the patent portfolio of the rights holder, and determine their patent reserve capabilities and the comprehensiveness of their layout. 
③ Legal strength: Comprehensive assessment of the legal status of the patent, whether the patent has been subject to litigation, and the stability of the claims. 
Build a risk internal control system covering the entire process from risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation to risk response. 



(2) Closed-loop Response to Risk Sources 
Patent licensing strategy 
For the 8 high-risk licensed patents, the team took the following measures: 
1) Stability analysis: By combining the historical record of patent reviews and technical comparisons, assess its stability. 
2) Construction of the invalid evidence database: The system systematically collates existing technologies worldwide, including patent documents, academic papers, industry standards, etc., to provide support for invalidation proceedings. 
3) Infringement Analysis: Through technical comparison, it was demonstrated that the target product did not fall within the protection scope of the patent. We successfully assisted the enterprise in filing a non-infringement lawsuit in the United States, effectively resolving legal risks. 
② In the process of patent risk management and control 
Regarding the 7 high-risk patent applications under review, the team took the following measures: 
1) Authorization prospect assessment: By considering the progress of the review and the trend of claim modifications, predict the final authorization scope and strength of the application. 
2) Public opinion submission: For patents with potential authorization risks, proactively submit existing technical evidence to the patent office to reduce the probability of their authorization or narrow the scope of protection. 
3) Competitive intelligence monitoring: Continuously track the patent application activities of competitors, generate patent monitoring intelligence, and ensure that the enterprise can promptly adjust its technological layout to avoid potential infringement risks in the future. 


III. Results/Data 
(1) Precise risk identification: Identified 8 already-authorized high-risk patents and 7 pending high-risk patents 
(2) The response measures have achieved remarkable results: Successfully reduced the threat of high-risk patent infringement and effectively mitigated the potential risks of pending patents. 
(3) Strategic value is prominent: By employing a combination of strategies such as invalidation proceedings and non-infringement defenses, potential losses for the enterprise can be mitigated. 
(4) Global layout guarantee: Establish a systematic risk prevention and control mechanism to support the expansion of enterprises' overseas business.

IV. Case Significance
This case demonstrates the professional strength of ZYIP in global patent risk management in the field of new energy. By establishing a full-process risk control system from risk identification, analysis to response, it not only helped the enterprise resolve specific patent risks, but also constructed a sustainable intellectual property risk prevention mechanism. The successful implementation of this project provided a replicable solution for new energy enterprises to cope with international intellectual property competition and achieve safe overseas expansion, highlighting the crucial value of professional intellectual property services in supporting the global strategy of enterprises.
