  • Publication number: 20230086930
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of intellectual-property (IP) analysis platform architectures are disclosed. A scoring component may be utilized to produce scores for 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 scoring component may be further utilized to produce an interactive graphical element including a spatial representation of the scoring of IP assets. The interactive graphical element may include various functionalities and/or information associated with the of IP assets. The scoring component may utilize data from a coverage component, an opportunity component and/or an exposure component to assess a comprehensive score associated with a group of IP assets of a targeted entity.

  • Publication number: 20230080680
    Abstract: Systems and methods for model-based analysis of intellectual property (IP) collateral are disclosed. For example, IP asset data is analyzed utilizing various predictive models to generate IP assessment data and IP valuation data. This data is then utilized to facilitate the issuance of a loan that is secured utilizing the IP assets as collateral and where an insurance policy is issued to insure the lender against default by the borrower/owner of the IP assets.

  • Patent number: 11514529
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220180059
    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.
