01Portfolio intelligence

Patent Ranking Widget

Problem

In-house IP managers must make difficult decisions about which assets to retain during maintenance and annuity fee windows.

Solution

A data-driven score ranks each patent within the portfolio and benchmarks it against all issued patents, its filing-date cohort, and its CPC technology peer group.

  • Overall portfolio percentile
  • Filing-year cohort ranking
  • CPC classification benchmark

Office Action Analysis & Response Strategy

Problem

Reviewing new Office Actions, tracing specification support, and testing amendment language is slow, fragmented, and high stakes.

Solution

The workflow queries USPTO and EPO sources, parses the action, and prepares a detailed attorney-facing analysis with proposed amendments, cited-art distinctions, §112 risk, commercial effect, and response priority.

  • Specification-linked amendment candidates
  • Cited-art distinction analysis
  • Commercial and §112 risk visibility

03Cost management

Patent Cost Projections

Problem

Portfolio owners need a defensible view of future prosecution and maintenance spend before budget decisions are locked.

Solution

Art-unit timelines built from more than 3 million Office Actions support patent-level and portfolio-level spend projections, customized to each user's cost structure.

  • Maintenance fee forecasting
  • Office Action response costs
  • Issue fee and PCT planning

Inventor Portfolio Trees

Problem

Complex continuation families are difficult to understand in flat tables, especially across inventors and technology groups.

Solution

Interactive family trees reveal lineage, status, and relationships across complex portfolios. Users can drag and drop nodes, reposition families, and draw connections directly on the canvas.

  • Interactive drag-and-drop nodes
  • Inventor and technology views
  • Continuation-family relationships
