From the context to the project of the enterprise.

Electricization and connected vehicles increase the number of technologies that coexist in the same system. A battery, a charging device or a control system can involve different suppliers: the IP file must make readable ownership, technical dependencies and possibility of exploitation.

The territory of activity helps to describe the chain and the partners; the choice of the protection markets depends on where the trademark and other assets are used. For Bologna's activities, the comparison starts from products, customers, commercial channels and expansion projects, without assuming that registration should be limited to the location of the venue.

Assets to focus.

Technical solutions

Components, assembly processes, charging systems and safety devices can be patented on the basis of concrete features.

Product design

Carrozzeria, interiors, accessories and visible components require a distinct reading of the appearance of the product and technical functions.

Brands and aftermarkets

Names of models, services and spare parts lines must be evaluated with respect to commercial positioning and distribution modes.

Prepare the first confrontation.

  • Description of the component and its functions
  • Tables, photos and versions of design
  • Relations with OEMs, Suppliers and Distributors
  • Launch plan and commercial territories

Indicates whether the activity operates in the capital, in other municipalities of the territory or in several regions. It is useful to distinguish headquarters, production, distribution and target markets. The confidential information can be shared after agreeing to the methods of comparison.

The passage to be checked

The possession of a patent is not enough to define the freedom to market a product. In complex systems it should also be planned to deepen the rights of third parties and of possible licenses, especially when components and protocols come from multiple subjects.
