Patent Portfolio Development

Patent Portfolio Development: Uncover the Crown Jewels.

Whether you or your client has a large portfolio of thousands of patents or just one or two, Chipworks can help assess the licensing potential of the patents. When considering large groups of patents, Chipworks’ multi-stage portfolio development service is designed to focus efforts on the most promising patents in order to save you time, manage costs and quickly discover your hidden patent gems. We undergo an extensive patent review process, which includes patent mining and mapping to identify and leverage your best patents

Chipworks Portfolio Development methodology:

Patent Mining & Categorization. Identification and quick review of your patents.
Patent Categorization. Patent mapping by technology, product line and market.
Patent Review. More detailed patent review.
Patent Product Matrix. The products and devices most likely to use your IP.
Patent Market Matrix. To whom, what and where do your patents apply?

Through the portfolio development process, Chipworks becomes intimately familiar with your business, strategic direction and patent assets. This reduces learning curves, costs and time-frames for future patent projects and allows us to work efficiently together as we monitor the landscape for new licensing opportunities or patent targets.

Our patent portfolio development service can be developed in regards to a specific target company or may be more general. If you want a more general view and understanding of your patent portfolio, Chipworks subject matter experts can help identify companies that may be using patented technology. The end result of this process is usually a mapping between the strongest patents and products from a target that is most likely to use the patented technology.

By using Chipworks, you benefit from higher hit rates, lower costs per hit, and a higher return on investment for patent support services.

Licensing Negotiation and Litigation

“A large U.S. company was targeting us, and we needed to defend ourselves. Using internal resources we were able to produce 4 claim charts, but that wasn’t enough. We called Chipworks. In eight weeks Chipworks produced 12 claim charts that were extremely valuable in the renewal negotiation.”
-- General Patent Counsel, Asian Electronics Company
