The Questions It Answers

Four Decisions a Portfolio Review Should Settle

A portfolio analysis is only useful if it ends in decisions. Every engagement is scoped to answer these four, asset by asset, with the reasoning attached so the recommendation can be challenged.

Keep or prune. Which families justify their renewal cost over the remaining term, and which are paying to protect a product line you no longer sell
Where the coverage gaps are. Which revenue-generating products are thinly claimed, and where a continuation or new filing closes real exposure
What is licensable. Which assets are being practised by others, and which read on a competitor product closely enough to support a licensing conversation
Where you are exposed. Which of your claims would be most vulnerable in an invalidity challenge, judged on prior-art density rather than on age

Scoring Method

How We Score Patent Strength

Every family is scored on six dimensions. The weighting is deliberate: a broad claim sitting in a crowded prior-art field is more fragile than its renewal invoice implies, so breadth and prior-art exposure dominate the score.

Claim Breadth

Independent claim scope measured against the disclosed embodiments and against what competitors actually build.

Prior-Art Exposure

Density of close art in the claimed field, including non-patent literature and art not cited during prosecution.

Prosecution History

Amendments and arguments made to secure allowance, and the estoppel they create against later assertion.

Remaining Term

Years left after term adjustment and disclaimers, weighed against the commercial life of the product it protects.

Jurisdiction Fit

Whether the countries you maintain match where you manufacture, sell, and face competitors.

Evidence of Use

Whether the claims read on shipping products — yours or a third party's — which is what makes an asset assertable.

When To Run One

Triggers for a Portfolio Review

Cost Pressure

Renewal decision due IP budget under review Portfolio grown by acquisition Maintenance spend rising faster than filings

Transactions

IP due diligence M&A due diligence Fundraising data room Divestiture carve-out Buyer or investor IP questions

Competitor product launch New entrant in your field Freedom-to-operate concern Assertion letter received

Strategy Shift

Entering a new jurisdiction New product line R&D roadmap planning Licensing programme being considered

Deliverables

What You Receive

The report is built to be used in a budget meeting or an IP due diligence data room, not filed away. Everything is traceable back to the underlying document so your counsel can verify any individual call.

A scored register of every family, ranked so the keep/prune decisions sit at the top
Claim-to-product mapping showing which assets cover which revenue lines, and which cover nothing you still sell
Competitor overlap analysis identifying where their filings crowd your claims and where they read on yours
A white-space map showing gaps adjacent to your existing coverage that a continuation could close
Renewal recommendations with the annual cost of each retained family, so the saving from pruning is explicit
The evidence behind every score — cited art, file-history extracts, and claim charts where mapping is asserted

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this service

What is patent portfolio analysis?

Patent portfolio analysis is a structured review of every asset you own to establish three things: how strong each patent is, what it actually covers relative to your products and your competitors, and whether it earns its renewal cost. The output is a decision list — keep, prune, license, or file around a gap — rather than a description of the portfolio you already have.

How is patent strength scored?

We score each family on claim breadth, prior-art exposure, prosecution history, remaining term, jurisdictional coverage, and evidence of use in the market. Claim breadth and prior-art exposure carry the most weight, because a broad claim with a crowded prior-art field is far more fragile in an invalidity challenge than its renewal cost suggests.

What is the difference between portfolio analysis and a patent landscape?

A landscape maps a technology area across all players to show where innovation is concentrated. Portfolio analysis starts from the assets you own and asks whether they protect your revenue. The two are complementary: the landscape identifies white space, the portfolio analysis tells you whether you are positioned to occupy it.

What do we need to provide to start?

A list of patent and application numbers is enough to begin. Product or revenue mapping, competitor names, and current renewal spend make the recommendations sharper, because they let us test coverage against what the business actually sells rather than against the claims alone.

When should a portfolio review be run?

The common triggers are an approaching renewal decision, M&A or fundraising due diligence, a budget cycle where IP spend is under scrutiny, entry into a new market or jurisdiction, and the arrival of a competitor product that may read on your claims.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on portfolio size, the number of jurisdictions, and whether you need claim-level mapping against specific competitor products. Tell us the family count and what decision you are trying to make, and we will scope it and respond within one business day.
