IP Analytics — at microscopic level — very rapid

In conjunction to our extensive patent, data, and search capabilities/tools, we offer consultative services to help corporations, institutions, law firms, or even individual inventors/analysts gain deep insights into the particular IP challenge or opportunity that confronts them.

Understanding an idea or concept, a patent, a portfolio of patents, or the landscape of 100’s or even 1,000’s of patents and how to organize and prioritize this in IP and economic terms can be daunting – we offer the tools and custom services to allow for extremely rapid decision-making and action.

White Space Consulting

We have partnered with Sopheon (www.sopheon.com) to offer very specialized services around uncovering white space — spaces not yet occupied by competition. Sopheon is a leading international provider of software and services for product life cycle management and innovation– together we offer access to powerful insights through our combined Monitor – Catalyst solution and consulting services.

Using a proven, rigorous process and advanced analytics tools, clients can:

1. Shorten technology development time by enabling researchers to be proactive in their FTO research; we can shorten research cycles from months to days, from many days to hours!
2. Quickly uncover opportunities for new technology applications without risk of patent infringement or long waiting times.
3. Enable scientists and engineers, IP specialists and research professionals to carry out their research as independently as possible by giving them an easy-to-use tool that produces reliable results; remove dependency from expensive internal or external research facilities.
4. Enhance the level of business intelligence within R&D departments and detect white spaces before others find them; move from birds eye to the microscopic view.
5. Improve the reuse of knowledge within an organization or a network of organizations.
6. Improve the quality of decision-making around research and innovation investments.

Typically the method for optimal ROI is for a client to start with a workshop that Sopheon and SumoBrain facilitate, allowing for proper customization of the exercises and tools to a particular problem or opportunity that a client wants to investigate.

Our goal is to leave the client with the tools and capability to drive this process themselves, integrating it real-time into operations and improving decision-making and resource allocation in R&D (and potentially throughout the entire supply-chain). One example of the kind of output clients get (and can generate themselves) is a variety of landscape visualization and matrices (one version is show below).

We are very excited about the partnership with Sopheon and the collective intelligence, tools, and experience we can bring to a client engagement. To find out more about the tools, our WhiteSpace workshops, or get a free demo, contact us today.
