IP Licensing
Making it easier to locate the right IP monetization opportunities
Patents can be a critical source of intelligence in your quest to license or sell your patents. Most of the critical research work done in for-profit entities globally is increasingly being disclosed only in patents and so you cannot afford to ignore them when looking for companies working in related technologies. PatSeer’s powerful IP analytics can deliver the precise insights required for your out-licensing research.
Everything you need for IP Licensing
We understand the reasons that drive your out-licensing needs
If you are in a University TTO, or an NPE or if you are a serial inventor, out licensing or a sale are the only ways to monetize your IP assets. If you work in a company with a medium to large IP portfolio you may face IP budget issues or demands from the stakeholders to be more than just a cost-centre. Commercialization of IPR is the best option to overcome these cost constraints. PatSeer includes many automated tools like 360° patent ranking, portfolio performance and many metrics to help identify core and non-core patents. This can help narrow on the licensable art in your portfolio for further analysis
Save time in analyzing your licensable art
It’s prudent to focus on the most important patents in your licensable portfolio first. PatSeer can help you rank the patents. You can plot scoring metrics like Citation score, Intrinsic score, or Patent Generality to decide upon the records to focus on. Take this a step further by looking at their litigation activity, family citation count, age of patent, etc to get a holistic picture of the licensing potential.
Making well informed decisions on prospective licensees for your patents
Finding potential licensees and gaining as much as possible about their calibre is critical. PatSeer provide multiple tools to achieve this. Multi-generation Citation Charts, Co-Citation Analysis, Similarity Searching or technology searches help in identifying potential licensees that are either drawing upon your patents or working in the same technology area. Patent Re-assignments insights help you discover who is buying patents in a certain technology area in recent times.
Many productivity enhancing tools to assist in your licensing strategy
Technology clustering or IPC/CPC mapping helps scan complementary technologies the licensee is working on. While working on making a case for assertion, you can leverage various productivity enhancing tools to help speed up the infringement analysis. Use PatSeer’s sharing capabilities to collaborate directly with inventors and other stakeholders who are needed for the evaluation process.
Patent data can be complex, but getting the right answers shouldn’t be
Go Beyond IP Out-Licensing
PatSeer takes care of other strategic IP decisions too! Find out if your research investments are headed in the right direction, evaluate the legal strengths and positions held by key players in a technology space or qualitatively assess your patents with the help of scoring models and identify technology trends.
