Using indicator-based patent portfolio analyses and the associated evaluation methods, we support you in maintaining, evaluating and streamlining your IP rights collection. The abandonment of property rights and the identification of potential infringements, licence revenues to be generated outside the industry and the initiation of further property right applications in important areas are key aspects of the analysis.

Reducing complexity through systematic patent portfolio evaluation

We systematically analyse your entire patent portfolio using a previously individually tailored evaluation concept, which aggregates objective patent indicators in a semi-automated manner into the evaluation dimensions of legal strength, economic relevance (internal company view) and technological attractiveness (external view of third parties).

Reasonable basis for decision to maintain or abandon

The evaluation dimensions lead to well-founded insights into the company’s own patents with regard to specific issues. Recommendation lists for the abandonment or maintenance of patents can be created „at the touch of a button“ and discussed objectively and openly with the specialist departments on the basis of comprehensible factors.

Potential for licence revenue from outside the industry!

In addition, IP rights with potential for licence revenue, with infringement potential and other strategic patent positions can also be identified. This enables you to achieve a well-maintained and cost-saving patent portfolio.
