Reduction to Practice in Polymer Science: Cambridge Polymer Group’s Expertise
In the complex realm of patent litigation, the ability to reduce claims to practice is an invaluable asset. At Cambridge Polymer Group (CPG), we excel in this critical process, providing our clients with a significant advantage in intellectual property matters related to polymers.
What is Reduction to Practice?
Reduction to practice refers to the process of demonstrating that an invention described in a patent has been effectively realized and tested. This concept also covers validating methods described in public domain sources, such as journals. In the field of polymers, reduction to practice often involves synthesizing complex materials and implementing advanced manufacturing processes as well as judicious selection of additives and other components that are often not well described.
Our Approach to Reduction to Practice
Expertise in Polymer Chemistry
Our polymer chemists possess in-depth knowledge of the materials and processes outlined in patents and journals. This expertise enables us to:
- Accurately interpret patent claims
- Faithfully reproduce chemical formulations
- Implement advanced manufacturing techniques
Meticulous Replication
We pay close attention to detail when reproducing patented processes. Our approach includes:
- Thorough analysis of patent specifications
- Rigorous selection of materials and equipment
- Precise monitoring of reaction and processing conditions
Testing and Validation
Once the material or process is replicated, we conduct comprehensive testing to validate the results. This may include:
- Chemical composition analysis, including purity and residuals
- Mechanical property testing
- Performance evaluations specific to the application
