Evidence of use analysis supports resolving intricate questions such as the following:

Can you search for relevant products that match specific patents, so that we can identify possibility of any infringement?

SPA analysts have conducted many studies wherein they have obtained key patents, dissected them into various claim elements and then identified specific products in the patent that use various aspects of the claim elements. The studies are presented in a concise, user-friendly manner so that clients can quickly understand the findings and make a decision in further steps.
