I. Case Overview

A leading domestic semiconductor display enterprise raised dual requirements last year regarding the application of perovskite materials in OLED displays: first, map the latest global patent landscape; second, conduct targeted patent mining based on the findings. ZYIP responded rapidly. We performed comprehensive global patent retrieval, generated technology hotspot & white-space mapping, and embedded patent attorneys directly into the client’s R&D workflow. We translated landscape data into two actionable lists: design-around solutions and actionable innovation points. As a result, we helped the client generate more than 20 newly mined patent applications covering materials, device structures and manufacturing processes, delivering end-to-end IP support from patent intelligence to intangible asset creation. The client commented: “Fast response, solid technical understanding, and strict risk control.”

II. Case Details

Client Profile & Industry Top-tier domestic semiconductor display enterprise, focusing on R&D and manufacturing of large-size LCD and OLED panels.

Client Pain Points & Requirements

1. While conducting pre-research on perovskite materials for OLED panels, the R&D team’s priority was not direct patent drafting, but to clarify the global patent landscape: who is filing patents, the depth of their layout (materials / film layers / manufacturing processes), technical white spaces, and high-risk infringement boundaries.
2. Based on the landscape findings, the client wanted to reverse-engineer patentable and defensive innovation points for its own R&D pipeline.
3. The client required an integrated service combining patent intelligence and R&D needs, covering patent landscape analysis all the way through to patent mining.

Solutions & Implementation

1. Team mobilization on the same day for rapid response a. ZYIP formed a dedicated team of patent attorneys and patent search analysts immediately upon receiving the brief. b. We carried out full-text semantic patent searches covering core jurisdictions including China, the US, Europe and South Korea, plus deduplication of patent families, targeting the cross-cutting technology of perovskite-OLED. c. We delivered a patent landscape map that clearly illustrated global filing hotspots and technical white spaces.
2. In-depth technical alignment and joint claim evaluation a. Our attorneys held multiple technical workshops with the client’s R&D team. b. We reviewed relevant patent claims line by line, jointly identifying occupied technical areas, micro-innovation opportunities, and claim wording loopholes for design-around. c. We converted landscape data into two practical documents: an FTO risk avoidance list and an innovation mining list, guiding the R&D team from intelligence analysis to concrete technical proposals.
3. Embedded R&D participation to support systematic patent layout a. Our attorneys were fully embedded into the client’s R&D workflow to align landscape findings with actual product development. b. Supported by the landscape scan, we assisted the client with systematic patent mining for perovskite-OLED technologies. c. We built a complete patent protection portfolio covering the full value chain: materials, device structures and manufacturing processes.

Deliverables & Achievements

1. Based on the landscape analysis, we supported the client to successfully develop and file over 20 patent applications for perovskite-OLED technologies.
2. The patent portfolio covers materials, structures and processes, providing closed-loop support from patent intelligence to IP asset formation for the client’s cutting-edge technology deployment.
3. Client feedback: “Fast response, solid technical understanding, and strict risk control.”

III. Case Significance

This case demonstrates ZYIP’s professional strength in patent intelligence analysis and R&D-embedded IP services. Faced with the dual demands of a leading panel manufacturer for perovskite-OLED frontier research, ZYIP went beyond conventional patent searches. We adopted a combined deliverable package: patent landscape map + risk avoidance list + innovation mining list, deeply integrating patent intelligence into the client’s R&D pipeline. This model not only helped the client precisely avoid infringement risks and clarify innovation directions, but also turned intelligence analysis into tangible IP assets with more than 20 granted-pending patent applications. It fully reflects ZYIP’s comprehensive service capability to deliver full-chain support — from patent intelligence to IP asset creation — across complex cross-disciplinary technology fields.
