Semiconductor Runs Layer Deep.
Your IP Strategy Must Keep Pace.
Modern semiconductors combine complex architectures, circuits, device structures, materials, and manufacturing processes. Effective IP strategy requires understanding how these layers come together and where they create opportunities for protection, enforcement, valuation, and monetization.
Common Roadblocks We Help Solve
“We know the product uses our technology, but what is actually inside the chip?”
Identify relevant components, circuits, structures, and technologies through teardown, delayering, imaging, and device-level analysis.
“The patent covers a circuit or architecture that's buried inside the semiconductor.”
Trace patented features down to the circuit, device, or architectural level using circuit extraction, microscopy, and technical analysis.
“We need evidence of how the chip is built, not just what the datasheet says.”
Analyze device structures, layers, materials, interconnects, and components using techniques such as SEM, TEM, EDS, X-ray imaging, and other semiconductor analysis methods.
“Our patents span different generations of semiconductor technology. Which assets matter most?”
Assess portfolios across architectures, circuits, memory, wireless, processing, and other semiconductor technologies to identify high-value and strategically relevant patents.
“We suspect a competitor's product uses our patented technology but proving it is difficult.”
Combine product teardown, device analysis, circuit extraction, testing, and claim mapping to build technical evidence of implementation.
“We need to understand emerging chip technologies before making an IP decision.”
Analyze technologies such as HBM, 3D stacked architectures, TSVs, advanced transistor structures, OLED/pixel circuits, UWB, Bluetooth, and System-on-Chip designs to assess IP opportunities and risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine whether a chip infringes a patent?
Chip infringement analysis compares patent claims with the architecture, circuits, device structures, components, or processes implemented in the semiconductor product, often supported by product testing, reverse engineering, circuit extraction, and technical evidence.
What is circuit extraction in semiconductor analysis?
Circuit extraction involves investigating a semiconductor device to identify and reconstruct its circuitry and functional components. It can help establish how patented circuit designs or architectures are implemented in a chip.
What is semiconductor patent portfolio analysis?
Semiconductor patent portfolio analysis evaluates patents across technologies, products, competitors, and markets to identify high-value assets, portfolio gaps, licensing opportunities, risks, and strategic priorities.
What semiconductor IP services does Lumenci provide?
Lumenci supports semiconductor IP matters through portfolio due diligence, claim charts and EOU reports, product testing, reverse engineering, valuation, damages and royalty estimation, licensing, and patent litigation support.
