Success Story

Product Takedown and TRO in Amazon e-commerce

Since 2019, ATIP has successfully handled over 50 cases related to Amazon product takedowns, reinstatements, and infringement disputes, achieving a success rate of over 95%.
While a few cases involving complex circuit technologies may not be processed by APEX, or those primarily disputing patent validity may require additional challenges, the vast majority of cases meet client expectations and are effectively resolved.

Our competitive edge is built upon three core strengths:

In-depth Knowledge of Amazon’s Procedures, Focused on Efficient Resolutions
We have a thorough understanding of Amazon’s handling processes, allowing us to effectively steer cases toward favorable outcomes. Our strategy is to focus on simple yet critical issues to expedite resolution.

For instance, during the APEX appeal process, we provide clear and concise explanations demonstrating non-infringement, enabling APEX to make swift and favorable decisions, reducing case processing time.

Expert Legal Team, Specialized in TRO Defense Strategies
For Amazon accounts seized by court orders, our legal team is well-versed in TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) procedures and can strategically present:

1. Arguments against the extension of the TRO

2. Legal grounds opposing the approval of a preliminary injunction

3. Facilitation of reasonable settlement agreements—if both the patent owner and seller are willing to settle, we work to expedite negotiations, minimizing client losses.

Experienced Technical and Patent Team, Providing Precise Legal Arguments
Our team consists of seasoned technical and patent experts who conduct in-depth analysis of core technologies. We present simplified yet compelling arguments to APEX or the court, maximizing the chances of a favorable outcome.

With our expertise in Amazon dispute resolution, patent litigation strategies, and technical analysis, we provide clients with efficient and pragmatic solutions to ensure smooth business operations.

Patent Transaction(Compound Semiconductor)

Our client owns a portfolio of approximately 1,900 compound semiconductor patents. However, as the client has shifted its business focus to other fields and no longer utilizes these patents, they were seeking an expedited solution to divest this portfolio.

Leveraging our expertise in compound semiconductor patents, technology, products, and market trends, our team first conducted an in-depth analysis of industry reports to identify leading companies in this field. Subsequently, we sourced semiconductor components from the market, gathering data from manufacturer datasheets and sending selected components to a reverse engineering laboratory for further analysis. Based on the findings, we identified and shortlisted approximately 20 key patents and compiled an EOU (Evidence of Use) report.

Using the EOU report, we successfully identified an interested buyer in the U.S. and engaged in multiple rounds of negotiations. As a result, the buyer purchased around 200 patents that were relevant to their business development. For the remaining 1,700 patents, which showed significant deviation from current market technology trends, we advised the client to consider ceasing annuity payments to optimize cost savings.

Through this case, we effectively helped our client monetize unused IP, generate revenue, and strategically assess their entire patent portfolio to reduce future expenses. This transaction resulted in a win-win outcome for both our client and the patent buyer.

Patent Acquisition and License (Packaging Material)

Our client operates in the semiconductor packaging industry, and based on their specific needs, we conducted an in-depth analysis of relevant technologies and patents. Eventually, we identified a leading Japanese materials company that owned a portfolio of patents highly relevant to our client’s requirements, leading us to initiate negotiations with them.

Since the Japanese company was still actively developing and utilizing some of these patents, we engaged in detailed discussions regarding patent usage and future development plans. Ultimately, both parties reached an agreement: our client purchased a portion of the unused patents from the Japanese company while also acquiring licenses for another portion of the technology.

Strategic Advantages of This Patent Transaction

By securing these patents, our client has gained a stronger competitive edge in the global market, enhancing their bargaining power with both customers and competitors while reinforcing their technological position and market advantage.

Key Factors Behind the Successful Transaction

Expertise in Patent Analysis and Patent Mapping
Our team excels in patent analysis and mapping, enabling us to quickly identify the missing pieces in our client’s technology portfolio and precisely locate relevant patent assets.

Comprehensive Understanding of Technology, Patents, and Industry Supply Chains
We thoroughly analyzed each patent to determine which patents should be acquired outright and which patents could be licensed instead, ensuring that the deal created a win-win outcome for both parties.

Confidentiality Measures to Ensure Secure Negotiations

　1. Before reaching an agreement on the primary commercial terms, we signed an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with the Japanese company and implemented a reasonable anonymity mechanism to protect our client’s identity.

　2. Once the key terms were agreed upon, both parties directly signed the formal contract, ensuring information security and a mutually satisfactory transaction process.

Extensive Experience in Patent Licensing and Transactions
With our deep expertise in patent transactions and licensing, both parties placed full trust in our professional services, allowing the deal to proceed smoothly and achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
