The art of IP evaluation involves designing projects to meet the unique needs of organizations, whether they are corporations, investment institutions, government agencies, or non-profit organizations. |

 Our management and senior staff have decades of experience in intellectual property evaluation and project design. We are thus able to offer custom solutions to our clients, rather than standardized outputs that may not meet all their needs. |

The art of IP evaluation also involves ensuring that all relevant IP is included in a project, and all irrelevant IP is excluded. Results based on incomplete IP collections, or on collections including irrelevant IP, are likely to be inaccurate, and thus of little use. |

|
Our management and senior staff have many years of experience in developing custom filters designed to identify and organize all of the relevant IP in a particular technology. We work closely with our clients to ensure that our analyses are based on comprehensive collections of relevant IP. |

The science of IP evaluation involves extracting meaningful information from very large IP data sets. This information must be accurate for it to be useful to organizations involved in important IP decisions and negotiations. |

We maintain the most accurate, comprehensive patent databases available today. We track mergers, acquisitions and divestitures to ensure that we can determine accurately the patent holdings of organizations worldwide. Our database is becoming the industry standard, and is licensed by Thomson for its Delphion product. |

The science of IP evaluation also involves the application of quantitative metrics to isolate key patents, companies and inventors, enabling organizations to focus on the most important IP in a particular technology. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our management and senior staff are experts in the development and application of analytical IP tools, and have written numerous peer-reviewed papers on the subject (listed in the Publications section of this site). We have developed a suite of analytical tools designed for a wide range of IP applications, including technology evaluation and licensing; M&A targeting and due diligence; infringement targeting; investment analysis; and science policy evaluation. |
