Case study

Frog Bikes

Information
Frog Bikes

Frog Bikes is a UK bicycle manufacturer known for high quality and innovative children’s cycling products.

The Challenge

A decade old Frog Bikes patent was challenged using prior art dating back to 1965.

If proven relevant, this prior art could significantly weaken or invalidate their patent, impacting protection for a key product line.

Frog Bikes needed to verify the novelty of their original claims and defend their position quickly and accurately.

How IP Asset supported:

IP Asset provided the following support:

  1. Sourced an original 1965 bicycle cited in the prior-art challenge.
  2. Conducted a detailed technical analysis comparing historic features to the patented invention.
  3. Demonstrated the presence of novel features in the original claim that were not disclosed by the prior art.
  4. Submitted technical findings in defence of the patent.
The Result

No further correspondence has been received following submission of the evidence, a strong indication that the challenge has fallen away and that Frog Bikes’ patent remains secure.
