Global Patent Search and Technology Scouting for Open Innovation

World-class English and Asian patent searching
Analytical relationship mapping, investigations
Innovation sourcing that fills pipelines, portfolios

Search Advantage™ Reports identify companies and technologies most closely aligned with your innovation pipeline and IP portfolio. As the need for open innovation grows within leading enterprises, a systematic approach to sourcing technology becomes essential. Perception Partners has developed a high-throughput, rapid approach to scouting for patented technologies that align with our clients' brand promises and customer expectations. This marketing-centric method of technical literature search and analysis fills pipelines, reduces risk around product development and fences in technology solutions at the core of differentiated product lines.

Perception Partners has a unique approach to aligning innovations with high value customer benefits and advantages. Following are the details of this innovation sourcing approach which we call Find, Refine, and Align.

Find
We first identify under-addressed customer needs that align with our client’s brand promise in key product categories at issue. We then prioritize those needs that – when paired with a defensible technology portfolio – could increase our client's product leadership and improve stakeholder perceptions. Highest-priority needs are subsequently turned into an intelligent patent search query to look in the right places in the right documents to find those protected innovations – regardless of origin – that address similar needs

Perception Partners provides patent searching in worldwide databases and by hand at the US Patent and Trademark Office. We possess deep expertise in patent, journal, regulatory, biomedical, sequence and citation searching. These competencies ensure that the right information is found rapidly and more importantly is communicated concisely to clients. Our deliverable is not a list and not a simple collection of references, rather it is a business-level discussion of how our findings could lead to the opinion sought from the engagement.

Key disclosures must be further filtered to find those that are broadly and completely supportive of product and customer needs in the most beneficial ways. Many iterative rounds of screening follow, as those innovations with only the highest-value benefits and maximum perceived defensibility will remain. Align The alignment process involves subject matter experts reviewing a “short list” of recommended innovations. An additional review pass then occurs for alignment to customer needs. Then a final recommendation set is created, accompanied by a discussion of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats related to each technology. The final deliverable is a mangement-level discussion, illustrated and annotated with recommendations.

Our deliverable is not a list and not a simple collection of references, rather it is a business-level discussion of how our findings could lead to the opinion sought from the engagement. Search types include: State-of-the-Art Identifies relevant patent and technical documents that define the landscape for a particular technology. Utilizes quantitative and qualitiative analysis. Invalidity Identifies prior art which may negate the claims within a specific patent portfolio. Employs advanced investigative and legal analysis to define obviousness, anticipation and other risks to patent quality. Freedom-to-Operate & Clearance Identifies patents and applications that may fence in a particular product or service. Covers patents only and which are still in force. Involves careful analysis of claim coverage and family legal status. Monitoring Identifies new document issuances or changes in the IP landscape over regular periods. Alerts can cover trends as well as asset, and can be issued electronically or via direct interaction with our experts.
