If explained briefly, Patent-Box scheme in UK aims to reduce the tax liabilities of
qualifying companies on income generated through patents and specifically rewa
those companies who engage in R&D (or innovation) from conception
commercialisation of patents (scheme excludes products with copyright or tradem
protection). The UK Patent Box that went live in April 2013 is a recent initiative bu
Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands, such schemes have already been successf
implemented.
This particular article on Patent Box aims to provide the reader a brief understandin
the concept Patent Box in UK, organizations or companies/ corporates who may qua
and the benefits that Patent Box in UK may accrue to those qualifying for it.
Purpose of the Patent Box
1. The Patent Box provides a reduced corporation tax rate for companies exploiting patented inventions or certain other innovati
protected by particular intellectual property (IP) rights.

Patent Box: A Catalyst to Promote PatentingInnovation & R&D in UK
Patent Box is an innovative scheme for promoting pate
innovation and R&D. This may even aid to the revival o
economic downswing.
Patent Box: The Concept in UK
The Patent Box allows companies to enjoy a reduced ra
corporation tax of 10% for profits from the exploitati
patented inventions and other forms of quali
intellectual property (IP). Thats a whopping discoun
the main corporation tax rate for 2013 which is 23%.

2. The reduced rate applies to a proportion of the profits derived from the licensing or sale of the patent rights, or from the sale of
patented invention or products which incorporate the patented invention. Profits derived from routine manufacturing
development functions, and profits derived from exploitation of brand and marketing intangible assets, are intended to
excluded.
3. The Patent Box is an optional regime which companies can elect into. The reduced rate of tax is delivered by providing
additional deduction in the corporation tax computation.
4. To minimise administrative costs and compliance burden, Patent Box profits for many claims can be calculated using a lar
formulaic approach. This is intended to identify in most circumstances a reasonable, albeit approximate, figure for profit deri
from the patent. Companies can instead however opt to identify the profit through a more bespoke calculation.
5. The next section of this introduction is a broad outline of the main concepts of the Patent Box regime. These are then explaine
more detail in the rest of this Technical Note, The main concepts are shown in the diagram below:

Patent Box Criteria:
It is also vital to understand the qualification criteria of the patents that may qualify to register themselves under the Patent Box schemeUK.
Patents must have been granted by an approved patent-granting body, including the UK Intellectual Property Office, European Pa
Office and designated European territories. Currently, patents registered in territories such as the USA, France, and Spain are
included under this scheme.
Further, there are a few noticeable points that the companies should keep in mind to assess whether their patents or products qualify un
the Patent Box Scheme of UK.
Either patent holder or another company in its group must have performed significant R&D activity to develop the patented inven
or its application; or
If the product was development by a group company and not the patent holder, then also the holder must have remained activ
involved in decision-making related to exploiting the patent. This allows flexibility for both group-wide activities and produincorporating purchased bundles of patents to quality.
Benefits of Patent Box Scheme
Patent Box as an initiative by UK government has been planned to promote innovation and encourage businesses to stay in UK and thus
assessing how declining R&D intensity in UK can be improved to reinstate position of UK companies in top Fortune 500 list.
The Patent Box deduces tax rate from 23% (decreasing to 20% from April 2015) to 10% on profits derived from any products that
incorporate patents and as per the forecasts of HM Treasury, is going to generate corporation tax revenues of worth ~1.1 billion. (Sourc

Now, it certainly becomes important to understand how patents either owned by the company or that of others can generate income.
Intellectual Property income from following sources can help in benefiting from the Patent Box scheme:
Patent royalties and income from licensing
Income from the sale of patents
Infringement income
Income from sales of products with patents
Sales of mixed patented & non-patented items
Notional Royalty patents used in processes & services
Leasing
Patent Pending
(Source: Patent Box: An industry report on incentivising UK innovation)
Summary
The whole idea behind the initiation of Patent Box scheme is to encourage UK companies to develop innovative products. It also aim
give the required stimulus to companies that dont hold patents. Such companies may reconsider their patenting policies a nd either us
license patents, so that they can also benefit from this scheme. In the long run, this incentivisation scheme will also encourage compan
to locate high-value jobs associated with development, manufacturing and exploitation of patents in UK. Large as well as small
medium-sized companies (SMEs) will, thus, hugely benefit and would want to stay in UK thereby giving the required impetus to the
economy.

Till 1990, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC) of USA, there were ~12,000 cases of spinal cord inj
per year. In the UK, statistics collected from spinal cord injury centers reveal that every year ~1200 people were paralysed from SCI. T
situation in the developing countries was even worse as they do not have any established national trauma or SCI registries. Then, med
record keeping is also poorly managed in most of the hospitals in such countries. Nevertheless, it can be presumed based on the fact t
world population is increasing that the number of people living with SCI could be much higher than depicted by statistics. Moreover, as
injuries can vary in severity, individuals can manifest symptoms as minor as occasional pain all the way to complete paralysis.
Key Patents in This Domain
It is much evident that the sector of spinal implants and manufacturing platforms for these medical devices is booming. As such, compa
working in this area are patenting heavily.
Recently, Life Spine, Inc., which provides the technologically advanced manufacturing platforms to increase procedural efficiency
efficacy through innovative design, has been awarded following three patents by the United States Patent Trademark Office (USPTO).
US Patent Number Patent Brief
8,475,461 It is a patent for instruments used in installing multi-section
intervertebral spinal implants issued on Jul 2, 2013.
8,486,148 It is a patent for hinged spinal fusion cages issued on Jul 16,
2013.
8,512,407 It is a patent for expandable spinal interbody and
intravertebral body devices issued on Aug 20, 2013.
Life Spine, Inc. now owes a patent portfolio of 49 patents and more than 100 patent applications.
In future, motion-preserving spinal implants, such as artificial discs and dynamic stabilization constructs, will remain
in the focus.Following two patent applications in name of St. Francis Medical Technologies, Inc. belong to the same
technology area-

greatly affects a persons sensory, motor and reflex messages.
Spinal Cord Injuries: An Introduction & Some Statistics
Spinal cord establishes communication between the brain and the body and any injury to this vital human
organ greatly affects a persons sensory, motor and reflex messages. Due to spinal cord injury (SCI) th
person experiences either complete or incomplete dysfunction, based on whether any sensation occurs a
or below the level of injury. The most important is that each persons recovery from SCI is different.
These injuries, in general, are induced by trauma but injuries due to cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthriti
and osteoporosis are also common these days.
Spinal cord injuries affect may include the following:
Loss of movement & sensation
Loss of bowel and/or bladder control
Exaggerated reflex actions or spasms
Changes in sexual function and fertility
Pain or intense stinging sensation

Way Forward for Researchers in This Domain for New Innovation & Research
The spinal implant technology is a promising and an emerging technology. Henceforth, more patent filings must be done for invention
this area. Here, it is also important to assert that institutions, universities and scientific researchers carrying out research in this dom
must have a good idea of the technology landscape of this sector before investing efforts and money in its R&D. Filtering out the n
practical and far-fetched innovations from patent and non-patent literature is a daunting task. For that reason, they need help
professional patent search service providers. As such, patent searches, particularly, state-of-the-art searches and technology alert
Sagacious Research can greatly help researchers in gathering innovative ideas, identify core technologies & white spaces and gaps in
technology area. We offer valuable search findings in multiple languages after conducting extensive searches in over 90 countries to giv
clear picture of latest Intellectual Property trends.
Originally, medical device instruments were used only to correct spinal deformities but over the past 15 years, the use of internal fixat
with spinal implants in spinal fusions has dramatically increased. Many different products, such as rods, plates, i nterbody devices, ped
screws and interspinous process decompression devices etc. have become popular. The global market value of spinal implants mar
reached the mark of $5 billion in 2008.

The situation is such that rather than defending its case in court, it is speculated that HTC is going to withdraw this patent now. In present case, the patent claim is related to a group of four HTC handsets, including the HTC One SV and HTC Wildfire S.
Nokia, despite of fall in its market share in the mobile handset business, still holds 3.1 % share in the global smartphone market ahead
HTC that just holds 2.8% of the market share. Moreover, Nokia Corp. owns a very strong patent portfolio and its strongest support
evidence comes in the form of a licensing deal that it signed with Microsoft worth 1.65 billion euros. Licensing and litigation are the
areas in which a patent portfolio can prove its worth and Nokia stands high in both these areas. In the past, BlackBerry (earlier nam
Research In Motion) and ViewSonic have entered in non-SEP licensing deals with Nokia.
But now, HTC is the primary target of Nokia. Since May 2012, Nokia has filed approximately 50 different breaching claims against HT
the U.S., UK, Germany, and most recently also Italy. There are many highly technical patents among them, such as the ones HTC n
wants Qualcomm to work around so that it can sell its HTC One smartphone in US. If HTC manages to somehow sell its flagship produc
the U.S. despite an ITC exclusion order, then there would be considerably less pressure on the Taiwanese device maker, which litigates v
effectively, to settle in the short term. The relevant patents arent standard-essential, so they can be worked around in principle. Though
this point it is unknown that what the technical options HTC and Qualcomm are exploring, and whether those workarounds would resu
performance reduction or other degradations noticeable to end users.
Recently, Nokia has scored a win against HTC on Sept. 23 in Germany where court ruled that HTC has infringed two patents of No
Nokias patents (mentioned below) for addressing different radio frequencies and for removing errors in radio signals were infringed.
U.S. Patent No. 6,393,260on a method for attenuating spurious signals and receiver
U.S. Patent No. 7,415,247on a method and arrangement for transmitting and receiving RF signals through various radio interface
communication systems
These are also wireless patents but they arent standard-essential. A third patent, which covers tethering, was not found infringed.
Undoubtedly, Nokia is on the winning track and the recent infringement suits filed by the company indicate that the Finnish giant has
upper hand against HTC also will most likely force HTC to enter into a royalty-bearing non-SEP license deal, particularly to benefit fr
the business of HTCs Android-based devices.
Here we would like to update our readers that Nokias ability to continuously file and win so many infringement lawsuits agai nst HTC
others is largely accountable to their strong patent portfolio and is supported by efficient patent portfolio management and the fact that

Nokia on Suing Spree- Nokia vs. HTCNokia Corporation has sued HTC Corp. for infringing its 024 patent
A cease-fire of Nokia & HTC patent battle seems no-where on the cards, much
recently. Nokia Corporation has sued HTC Corp. for infringing its 024 patent over atechnology which is designed to assist broadcast voice and text messages
Broadcasting via voice and text messages is a very popular technology as it is a
powerful direct marketing tool. It is widely used by industry groups such as insurance
real estate, telemarketing, healthcare, direct sales, etc., to create leads or as a follow-
up method to their existing or past customers and/or current prospects. In emergency
situations, it can even save lives. This technology is used in all the present
smartphones and intellectual property rights over this technology and around
applications of this technology has been the frequent cause of patent wars between
smartphone companies.

company has adequately invested its resources in patent mining and infringement watch. Patent mining and infringement watch searc
analyze patents of a portfolio in both qualitative and quantitative manner to identify the licensable patents or patents which are most lik
to be infringed and ascertain that no products in the market are infringing upon a patent in the portfolio.
Then after, patent disputes between Apple and Nokia escalated. Nokia took the fight to the International Trade Commission in Jan, 2
and Apple also filed an ITC complaint against Nokia over 9 patents seeking to block U.S. imports of mobile phones.
Apple-Nokia patent fight continued and Nokia extended its complaints to Apples iPad. Nokia claimed that Apples products, including
iPad WiFi + 3G, use Nokiasintellectual propertyrelated to enhanced speech and data transmission, the use of positioning data
applications, and compact, increased-performance antenna designs. These include 3G, 2G, and Wi-Fi networking, built-in cameras, c
wheels, and some more complex technologies like a programmable voltage-controlled oscillator. In 2010, Nokia and Apple also took t
first German suit/countersuit to the Federal Patent Court of Germany when Apple for the first time had sued Nokia in UK and Germ
over 9 patents and it was countersued by Nokia over 4 patents. In 2010, Nokias share of the market had fell to 39.3% in the third qua
from 42.3% a year earlier. As such, analysts noted that Nokia just wants royalty payments from iPhone (and iPad) sales, rather than a
injunction. This would afford Nokia about $6-12 per iPhone and $10-17 per iPad. At that time, the strength of Nokiaspatent portfolio
its possible use in favor of the companys business was not realized.
That occurred in 2011, when Nokia filed a second ITC complaint against Apple alleging that Apple infringes upon additional Nokia pat
in virtually all products including its mobile phones, portable music players, tablets and computers. Those 7 Nokia patents in the n
complaint were related to Nokias pioneering innovations that Apple was using to create key features in its products in the a reas of m
tasking operating systems, data synchronization, positioning, call quality and the use of Bluetooth accessories. In mid-2011, thus, Ap
had to agree to pay Nokia an undisclosed one-time sum and recurring royalties for violating 46 of its patents.
Assuming that most of Nokias current royalty revenue comes from Apple and considering that iPhone sales are on rise every year,
certain that Nokia is benefitting hugely from its intellectual property. For the creation of such a strong patent portfolio, Nokia had sp
millions of dollars in R&D over the past decade. The Finnish tech giant realized this long time back that 4G LTE patents and other wirel
standard patents are likely to get more valuable with time as carriers around the world would eventually transit to the new wirel
standard supporting 4G making it a mandatory requirement that greater number of handsets use this platform. One of the pre-requis
for gathering such an insight of the technology domain is the know-how of the patent landscape that describe the patent situation f
specific technology in a given country, region or on the global level.
Nokia vs. Apple: An Epic Patent War between Two GiantsNokia Corporation has sued HTC Corp. for infringing its 024 patent
The patent war between Nokia and Apple began back in 2009 when Nokia
sued Apple over 10 patents related to devices compatible with GSM, UTMS
(3G WCDMA) and wireless LAN standards, and covering wireless data,
speech coding, security and encryption. Nokia alleged that all iPhone models
released since 2007 infringe on these patents. The suit was filed in a U.S.
District Court in Delaware.
Later, Apple countersued Nokia over 13 patents related to Apples basic
computing technologies in Dec, 2009.

Nokia must have taken an informed decision to do astate-of-the-art search for the technology of interest and analyzed its results to s
answers to questions such as, What is the pattern of patenting activity in this technology/domain? or What technology areas competi
are focusing on?, etc. However, such a detailed and comprehensive patent landscape analysis requires professional intervention. Sagaci
Research professional patent & IP search services can help find answers to the above questions in a surprisingly easy manner. We cre
quality patent landscape reports accompanying the state-of-the-art search results with further insights into innovation trends, diversit
solutions for a technical problem, etc. in area of our clients interest. We also facilitate the understanding of these, otherwise, com
research results by giving our recommendations based on the empirical evidence provided by the search and analysis. Thus, companies
not only get a snapshot of the patenting situation at a certain point in time for the technology area of their interest but also make inform
policy discussions and dostrategic researchplanning, like Nokia did to profit from its patent portfolio.
