PatentRatings' patented a proprietary rating system -- the "IPQ" score -- objectively scores and rates patent assets based on a proven statistical methodology. IPQ scores are similar to the familiar IQ score for rating human intelligence (median = 100).

IPQ Reports provide an objective and statistically valid assessment of the value of individual patents. IPQ scores provide a simple ("no law degree required") , easy to understand yard-stick for measuring and comparing patent quality/value based on the cumulative characteristics of patents that make them statistically either more likely or less likely to produce economic returns.

• An objective methodology for the comparison of patents
• Statistical basis for active management of a portfolio of patents
• Comparison of a patent's trend across industries, sectors, and technologies
• Predictive data regarding the expected life of an intellectual asset

Quickly identify relevant patents, holders, potential infringements, buyers or sellers.

The Relevant Company and Technology Report is driven by patent to patent relevance. Relevancy scores are numerical measures of patent relatedness from 1.0 to 0.0. Created by mapping and analyzing all US patent citational relationships, your report will contain an analysis of the top 25 most relevant companies along with the top 250 patents from our online searchable database of over 4 billion patent-to-patent relevancy records. The relevancy engine is "market validated" and is derived from regression optimized formulas that measure the probability of a direct citation by the patent examiner or applicant at the first generation.

The report is actively utilized by

• Companies seeking to buy or sell particular patents
• Companies and inventors to identify potential partnership opportunities
• Business planners and market researchers for competitive technology analysis

• IPQ Rating, description and legal status for target patent
• Relevant Company Index: top 25 most relevant companies
• Top 250 most relevant patents with current owner (patent assignee), title, and IPQ Rating (e.g. letter grade of A, B, C)

Conducting due diligence and analysis on intellectual property and its owners remains a difficult and costly endeavor. Companies often face a difficult decision as to what resources to allocate towards conducting patent due diligence and analysis.

The Patent Due Diligence Report (DDR) delivers a comprehensive analysis which enables companies to make an efficient and upfront assessment on potential patent transactions. To support IP transaction decisions and comprehensive patent evaluations, the DDR provides an in-depth assessment of patent strength, value, and history.

The report is actively utilized by

• Companies seeking to buy or sell particular patents
• Investment firms and banks conducting due diligence on transactions
• IP law firms for the purpose of conducting an initial patent screen for their clients

• IPQ® Report and Relevancy Analysis Report
• Patent Exchange Value (PEV) - Delivers an assessment of patent value in relation to other patents.
• Chain of Title Analysis - Identifies missing or defective assignments, security interests and defects in the patent chain of title.
• Inventor analysis and breakdown - Delivers a complete analytical breakdown of key inventors.
• Classification Analysis - Identifies the major patent holders within any given SIC code.
• Obsolescence Analysis - Determines the rate of obsolescence for areas of technology.
• Life Expectancy - Delivers the statistical predictive life expectancy of patents.
