Patent valuation research
Through our expertise, long experience and range of search types, we can provide data insights that inform your assessment of a patent’s value. These include:
- Evidence of Use searches: An Evidence of Use search identifies value based on patent pools, standards mapping or application for use in other products.
- Landscape searches: A patent landscape analysis can play an important role in benchmarking your portfolio within the wider space and in identifying synergies with competitor portfolios when considering partnerships and merger and acquisition (M&A) activity.
- Invalidity searches: Invalidity searches support valuation by determining the strength of the patent before further action is taken.
