While wood paper offers convenient and familiar protection for packaging, its environmental impact casts a long shadow. Wood-based paper is problematic for two main reasons: deforestation and sustainability. While it doesn’t inherently seem problematic, how it’s sourced and produced can raise concerns.  These are increasingly important concerns on a global scale, prompting several recent laws and regulations to tackle these issues. As per the EU Deforestation Regulation, companies introducing beef, soy, coffee, timber, and other commodities to the EU market must guarantee that their sourc ..read more

Technical standards, evolving technologies, and scattered patent declarations complicate the process of determining standard essential patents (SEPs). This is further complicated by the need for manual searches across various databases, which are time-consuming and prone to errors and omissions.  However, what if there was a solution that could simplify this process?  GreyB’s 3GPP tool addresses these challenges by identifying potential SEPs while cutting through the clutter. This article discusses how the tool benefits in determining potential standard essential patents and provides ..read more

According to the most recent US Geological Survey report, irrigation accounted for 42% of the nation’s total freshwater withdrawals in 2015. As a result, governments are enforcing regulations to limit the industry’s resource consumption. Montana state, for instance, mandates that anyone using groundwater to cover 10 acre-feet per year must apply for a permit. Similarly, the EPA has set maximum legally permissible pesticide tolerances in food, exceeding which can trigger government enforcement action. Using drones in mechanized agriculture helps improve farming productivity and get better yield ..read more

The alarming reality of 92 million tons of clothing ending up in landfills annually has fueled the textile industry’s strategic shift toward biodegradable clothes.  Many companies and startups are researching to bring an eco-friendly alternative into the picture. Shroff Industries, an Indian company, is leading this movement by converting tons of banana fiber waste into eco-friendly products such as baskets, planters, bags, yoga mats, and more. We were determined to learn about Shroff’s technology and explore its potential impact on biodegradable textiles as a technology scouting firm. We ..read more

Online resources such as product manuals and company websites are a good starting point for patent infringement analysis. However, these sources can often be inconclusive, making it difficult to determine if a target company is actually infringing on a particular patent. A similar challenge arose when a client approached our team with a specific request to identify high-potential patents from a portfolio of 400 patents related to computer networking concepts. The project also involved conducting an infringement analysis against a leading technology company in the same domain. While this might ..read more

With an average life expectancy of 3-5 years after diagnosis, Pulmonary fibrosis highlights an urgent need for innovative therapeutic interventions. That’s where medications like Ofev have emerged as a transformative solution. Ofev is the trade name for Nintedanib by Boehringer Ingelheim. It is a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) or anti-fibrotic agent used to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and lung diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease (CFILD), and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. The drug was first approved in ..read more
