Rapid Automated Patent Analysis
to Impress Your Managers and Clients™

Presented by Barry Brager at your next trade meeting,
in your boardroom or at your desk

How much more value could you or your team add if you
could quickly automate the extraction of competitive technical intelligence from patents and other intellectual property?

Patent landscape analysis is an effective approach to identifying competitive technical intelligence. Though substantial literature has been devoted to accomplishing such goals through patent landscape analysis, little attention has been paid to improving the speed at which such tasks are performed or the comprehension of reports discussing results.

Patent analysis is most effective when attractively visualized; this is a function that can be automated and repeated. Effectively formatted visualizations eliminate significant time and effort on behalf of the searcher to otherwise convey complex, multi-layered patent intelligence.

This technical intelligence training course presents approaches to increasing the speed at which high-quality patent analyses can be performed and communicated to senior management. Text mining software such as Vantage Point by Search Technologies (also known as Thomson Data Analyzer), taxonomy software such as MindManager and analytical tools such as Excel are utilized to demonstrate efficient and effective automated patent analysis through the use of templates, data cleaning, algorithm development and other tactics.

Attendees of this course - delivered onsite or online - will obtain the following benefits:

This half-day course is $595 per person. Group discounts are available with 10 or more attendees.

We look forward to helping you build the business and strategic competencies required of leading technical intelligence and patent search teams.

TESTIMONIAL

From the PIUG Fall 2007 Newsletter

"I really enjoyed this workshop and learned more about the uses of patent analysis and visualization techniques than in any other session. Brager has a unique presentation style that guides attendees along a logical narrative path (he uses lots of anecdotes of his own professional experience) only to waylay them with an unforeseen twist. This style led to many “Eureka” moments for the audience members. Of course, this was the main point of his presentation, to use visualization tools and rhetoric to get the attention of management staff; and in this situation, we were the management staff!

During his presentation, Brager demonstrated ways that patent analysis can be used for competitive assessment, product development, risk & cost management, licensing and acquisitions – all things that managers have a high interest in, but likely have never considered the uses of patent analysis in this way before. Brager continually emphasized that the most important thing is to “get their attention” Instead of explaining why patent analysis is important to them and putting them to sleep with the details, simply show them a chart of their patent portfolio compared to their top competitor’s portfolio. That’s one quick way to “get their attention.”

Presentation style aside, Brager demonstrated some of the near-unlimited uses of Vantage Point/Thomson Data Analyzer. Like Excel, this tool can be used with any types of data, not only patent information."
