Techniques
PERCEPTION PARTNERS HAS DEVELOPED several proprietary algorithms and approaches to discover ranking, relationships and trends among intellectual property assets that might not otherwise be obvious. These algorithms codify our know-how, which has been developed through years of performing and perfecting our analytical approaches. The benefit to our clients is the ability to tap into the experience and expertise of an organization that has specialized for years in this highly complex area.
Of our various approaches, a few stand out as indispensable across our Solution Suites:
Technology Similarity
Used to match patents, literature and disclosures that describe similar approaches to solve the same technical problem, independent of vocabularies, claim language, experiment types or country of origin
Partner/Licensee/Target Identification
Used to identify players in a technology landscape that could leverage a material interest or capability related to a technical problem under investigation
Infringement and Standards Analysis
Used to turn plain language descriptions of product literature or technical standards into queries that can then align with patent claims for subsequent exploitation
Patent Quality
Used to rapidly compare patents vs. peers to determine relative likelihood of validity. Measured through evaluation of the strength and focus of the patent prosecution team and the care with which the patent was examined
Taxonomy Development
Used to effectively bucket or bracket technologies into groups that go beyond mere technical approach - e.g., by benefit, value chain area, mechanism of action and other custom parameters
