The Two-fold strategy: Semi-Automated and Manual Analysis
Semi-automated solution: We understand that needs of optimizing costs for our clients and of delivering maximum value to our clients. We have developed a scoring system for identifying key patents from a large portfolio, based on certain parameters. This scoring system takes into account both objective and subjective parameters such as forward citation, number of independent claims, claim length, detect ability of overlap, market segment and size, etc.
Manual solution: Depending on the client’s needs, we can also provide an entirely manual approach for portfolio analysis, wherein the scoring is based on a completely manual analysis. Such an analysis does include all the parameters used in semi-automated approach, but also extends the analysis to more subjective parameters, such as, remaining life, number of foreign family members, availability of alive family member, number of office action responses, etc.
