R AND D

In a market full of choices, MindTree understands the short product lifecycles that result from rapid changes in customer taste and preference. The constant drive towards more miniature designs also means smaller footprints - without compromise on integration of functionalities, interoperability with third party devices, and device personalization. Feature-packed mobile handsets are now viewed more as portable entertainment gadgets than communication devices. In this scenario, our understanding of audio, video, and wireless technologies, coupled with product development processes, can help you bring products to market fast.
MindTree's focus is on building reliable hardware, software and embedded system solutions for various consumer products. We can engage with you right from architecture definition to product prototyping. Our IPs and IP-led offerings in Bluetooth and UWB provide considerable advantage in terms of 'ready-made' solutions for your requirements. MindTree's strategic alliances with semiconductor and RTOS companies along with our investments in frameworks and proof-of-concept (POC) designs also ensure that we can work with you as domain consultants, not merely as project partners
The cost of determining if a particular piece of software infringes any issued patents is too high and the results are too uncertain. Should a software developer hire a patent attorney to perform a clearance search and provide a clearance opinion, there is no guarantee that the search could be complete. Different patents and published patent applications may use different words to describe the same concepts and thus patents that cover different aspects of the invention may not show up in a search. The cost of a clearance searches may not prove to be cost effective to businesses with smaller budgets or individual inventors. Developers may be forced to pay license fees for standards that are covered by patents. Most organizations that set standards require that members disclose any pending patents they may have that cover the standards. They also require that the members make those patents available on a nondiscriminatory basis and at a reasonable license fee. Members that hide the existence of patents for inventions that standards are based on can be subject to legal action. Patenting software inventions takes investment away from research and development.
