IP & PATENT MANAGEMENT

REALLY MANAGE YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Do you manually inventory your worldwide patents? How do you integrate a new acquisition into your portfolio? Can you map IP by lines of business or patents to products? How do you determine when to renew and when to remove patents from your portfolio?

Whether you're managing your patent renewals, integration and market assessment manually or using an automated IPAM system, Innography can launch your patent portfolio management practice to a whole new level — without forcing you to abandon your existing systems. Innography provides context for the in-house patent data you already have and uncovers additional data you might have missed. It's one thing to realize that a patent is up for renewal but how do you decide whether renewing it makes sense?

Our online IP business analytics application helps you understand things like changing markets and increased competition so you can make sound decisions about your entire portfolio, providing both detailed micro-views and more abstract macro-views. In short, it drastically accelerates the return on your patent investments.

Innography automatically normalizes patent information for each company across multiple patent offices. By eliminating spelling mistakes, tracking patent assignments and updating with mergers and acquisitions, our software platform provides a complete view of a company’s portfolio preloaded, reducing manual entry and human error. Using APIs, Innography also is able to integrate with internal repositories and systems to manage disclosures, private patent information and other data behind corporate walls.

With Innography’s unified view of all corporate patents, our visualizations and algorithms can segment portfolios by line of business, help map patents to products and identify maintenance issues. Innography also has developed special IP management algorithms, including:

  • Map a corporate portfolio by line of business
  • Identify and evaluate patents up for maintenance renewal
  • Map patents to products and monitor accordingly
