  • Patent number: 11966979
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of vendor management platform architectures are disclosed. A compliance component may be utilized to receive user input data indicating supply contracts between a client and a vendor. The user input data may be utilized to determine insurable obligations associated with the supply contract and provide indications as to whether or not the vendor is compliant with the insurable obligation required by the supply contract. An exposure assessment component may be utilized to determine an exposure score associated with a client account and/or a vendor account based on various compliance factors, spending amounts, and/or properties associated with at least one of goods and/or services that a vendor will supply to a client.

  • Publication number: 20240112270
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intellectual property (IP) asset protection are disclosed. For example, by analyzing characteristic information associated with a user, along with feedback from one or more potential insurers, the system may determine various terms of an insurance policy for protecting the user against claims of IP infringement. The policy may provide for financial reimbursement for costs incurred while taking active measures to mitigate losses and/or defend against such claims. In addition, the system may analyze the characteristic information to identify various users having a low exposure of an infringement claim being asserted. The identified users may be actively targeted to acquire an IP protection policy.

  • Patent number: 11941714
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to analyzing intellectual-property data according to provide various intellectual property related services to organizations. In particular implementations, information related to products and/or services may be obtained from a number of data sources. Additionally, information related to intellectual-property assets, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how, may be obtained. In various situations, the intellectual-property assets may be mapped to respective products and/or services. The mappings between the products and/or services and intellectual-property assets may be used to provide intellectual property related services that correspond to the intellectual-property assets, such as valuation services, strategy-related services, or risk-related services.

  • Publication number: 20240094887
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of intellectual-property (IP) landscaping platform architectures are disclosed. A landscaping component may be utilized to produce refined clusters of IP assets using user seeded searches in varying areas of interest, such as, for example, target technical fields, targeted publications, targeted products, and/or competitor entity portfolios. The landscaping component may be further utilized to produce an interactive graphical element including a spatial representation of the clusters of IP assets. The interactive graphical element may include various functionalities and/or information associated with the clusters of IP assets.

  • Patent number: 11928427
    Abstract: Systems may perform analyses of claims included in a patent document. The systems may generate one or more search strings from the patent document and provide the one or more search strings to a third-party searching authority. The third-party searching authority may return a collection of documents responsive to the one or more search strings. In particular situations, the systems may re-rank the documents of the collection to provide a patent centric ranking. The systems may also analyze the documents of the collection with respect to the elements of the claims to generate various types of patent infringement and/or invalidity reports.

  • Patent number: 11676231
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for performing automatic document analysis. For instance, one or more computing devices may obtain a plurality of documents for analysis. The one or more computing devices may then analyze the documents to determine a respective comparative breadth score representing a breadth of each document, a respective comparative portion count score representing a number of documents portions included in each document, and a respective comparative differentiation score representing differentiation between the documents portions included in each document. In some instances, the one or more computing devices determine each of the scores based on comparing the respective breadth, respective number of document portions, and respective differentiation for each of the documents under analysis. The one or more computing devices can then determine a comprehensive score for each document using the respective scores, and generate a user interface that includes the overall scores.
