From Patent Analysis to Patent Intelligence
Filament represents the next generation in Patent Analysis, delivering an
insightful interpretation of the IP Landscape that helps organisations achieve
commercial and strategic gains. We use ground-breaking Patent Search, Patent
Mapping, and IP Alert systems to keep you abreast of relevant Intellectual
Property developments. But the real Filament difference is the intellect we
layer on top of the IP Analytics. We're able to distil this mountain of data,
interpret your competitive situation, and present clear options for management.
Discover how Filament goes beyond Patent Analysis to deliver IP Intelligence.
How smart corporations use IP intelligence
Increasingly corporations are seeking to commercialise their Intellectual
Property (IP). However the more forward-thinking enterprises are able to take it
a step further. They're seeking out a superior understanding of the IP landscape
to influence the key management decisions:
- Which technologies should we invest in?
- Which technologies should we get out of?
- Which companies should we acquire or license from to bolster our IP?
- Who could we license our technology to?
- Can we align our IP with our business strategy?
- Should we alter our business strategy because of our IP?
To make these landmark business decisions, you need more than Patent Search. And
you need more than just IP Analytics. You need incisive analysis and astute
interpretation from a Patent Attorney. You need IP intelligence.
How is IP Intelligence different from Patent Analysis or IP Analytics?
In the field of Intellectual Property Management, Patent Analysis or IP
Analytics typically covers two necessary but insufficient elements:
Two steps of Patent Analysis or IP Analytics
- What are we doing in IP?
- What are our competitors doing in IP?
IP intelligence, as we define it here at Filament, takes the first two elements
of Patent Analysis and adds a vital third dimension:
Three Steps to IP Intelligence
- What are we doing in IP?
- What are our competitors doing in IP?
- What should we be doing in IP?
Filament is one of the few firms capable of helping you answer this challenging
final question.
Who is the global leader in IP Intelligence?
Any number of firms can carry out an IP Audit to tell you what you have. Or
perform Patent Mapping to tell you what your competitors are doing. But few IP
Analytics firms have the understanding of technology, intellectual property and
corporate strategy necessary to provide sound business advice in a complex IP
situation. Filament does and can. We are global leaders in IP Intelligence.
