Patent Portfolio Mining

Patent portfolio mining is a customized, systematic, and cost-effective review of patent portfolios used to identify the most valuable assets. 

We believe that transparency is an essential factor driving our service quality, so we provide a documented report based on our patent rankings. It allows our clients to inspect and find comfort in every aspect of our strategic approach.

Portfolio Valuation

IP valuation is an all-inclusive economic appraisal of IP assets. By combining valuation expertise with industry knowledge, we provide accurate value analyses based on generally accepted methodologies. The three approaches we use are the cost approach, market approach, and income approach. These approaches lead to accurate valuations and assessments to influence the consideration of buying, holding, or selling of assets.

Patent Landscape

Patent landscaping is designed to present a general idea of the existing prior art in a specific area. It is mainly an information collection and presentation method that uses either an all-inclusive or a limited search depending on the need. This type of patent search is used to identify gaps in IP coverage, produce technical assessments, track the competition, and research other patents through mining. These searches also help with the client's R&D planning. At Lumenci, our team of experts provides an indispensable patent analysis along with the state-of-the-art searches.

Freedom to Operate (FTO)

The objective of a Freedom to Operate (FTO) patent search, or patent clearance search, is to recognize in-force patents or published patent applications with claims that cover the targeted technology, process, or product. Our FTO search service helps identify potential patent barriers in commercializing our clients' products or technologies. This process of due diligence examines the language of the claims of third-party, in-force patents as a means of assessing clients' risks of potential infringement.
