Continuations & portfolio development
Connect pending claims, disclosed subject matter, and evolving technical priorities across an application family.
Treat each filing as part of a considered patent record.
Portfolio development requires understanding what has been disclosed, what has been claimed, and how pending applications relate to one another. A structured family map makes those relationships easier to evaluate.
Work focuses on prosecution-related analysis: potential continuation or divisional claims, priority-support questions, prosecution history, and technical coverage relative to the applicant’s objectives. Business and transaction advice is coordinated with appropriate counsel.
What the work can include
- Application-family and claim-set mapping
- Continuation and divisional planning
- Claim coverage relative to disclosed implementations
- Priority and written-description support review
- Prosecution history and consistency analysis
- Technical portfolio triage
Typical work product
- Family and priority map
- Claim-coverage matrix
- Prosecution options with recorded assumptions
Engagement scope
Continuation eligibility and timing depend on the specific family history and pending applications. No benefit claim is assumed without record review.
