Validity: Tech GoF can normalize and quantify incremental improvements disclosed in prior art versus claimed invention. For example, if a patent claims novelty, a GoF matrix can specify the steps necessary to represent a true functional gain or just an obvious incremental step.
Infringement: Tech GoF maps claim elements against accused products/services, then expresses the functional overlap as quantifiable multipliers. This highlights whether accused implementations achieve the same staged gains described in the patent.
Apportionment: Experts can separate the contribution of the patented technology from other unpatented features by attributing functional gain factors. For instance, if a patent provides a 4/10 multiplier within a larger 10/10 system improvement, apportionment can be defensibly argued at ~40% of the benefit.
