“A company may have a strong product range, but it may be poorly protected by its patents, or it may not have patents covering emerging technologies.”

Overview

patent portfolio analysis is performed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of a company’s products, market leadership, and emerging technologies.

As technology life cycles become shorter, delays in portfolio analysis can result in a significant portion of a portfolio becoming obsolete.

Goals of patent portfolio analysis may include

  • Identify any gaps in the patent portfolio related to the company’s product range.
  • Filter patents that are no longer relevant(obsolete) and should be allowed to expire.
  • Analyse the presence of the portfolio in emerging technologies.
  • Assess the suitability of the portfolio in relation to the company’s core business activities.
