Patent Portfolio Analysis

Patent Portfolio Analysis


The portfolio analysis is performed to identify the relevant strength of all patents within the portfolio and if need be to understand how and which of the patents in the given portfolio are potentially infringed by the existing products in the market. An effective portfolio analysis helps in identifying where the value is, in patent portfolio. Over the period, valuable patent assets can be “lost” in the complexity of the wider portfolio if worthless assets are maintained unnecessarily, and their true value through sale or licensing is never realized.
