Only a small percentage of issued patents are capable of generating a monetary return, whether through Patent Licensing, Patent Divestiture, or some other means. However, since the value of a patent may not be obvious at first glance, finding these patents is often one of the great challenges in effectively managing your IP.
GIS helps clients to locate these gems in their portfolio with our Patent Mining service.
GIS will customize the approach depending on the client’s goals. Typical goals include one of the following:
Based on the client’s goal, GIS will perform a multi-phase approach to cost effectively narrow down the list of patents. |
Phase 1 – GIS’ analysts will work to quickly and efficiently scan through the patents to narrow down the search to a small number of promising patents.
Phase 2 - Further analysis will be performed on the identified patents along with a search for evidence of use.
Phase 3 - In the final stage, discussions will be held with our client to discuss any concerns over the validity of the identified patents.
The final outcome will yield a list of patents the client will be able to determine
- Which patents should be reviewed in further detail
- Potential licensing opportunities
- Potential buyers of selected patents
