MaxVal provides a range of value-added services to its clients based on a philosophy of continuous innovation driven by the need to meet challenging client requirements. We provide these services using proprietary tools that we have developed and by using a global work force. Our services range from various types of prior art searches and reports including, market / IP survey reports, litigation, identifying potential buyers, alerts on patent proceedings, database creation and maintenance, mapping and visualization of patent portfolios, and patent illustrations. Our tools are applicable in all technical domains, although we have executed projects in the life sciences and hi-tech arenas. MaxVal strives to add new service offerings on a continual basis in helping clients maximize the value of their patent holdings.
