HULSEY^IP offers patent mining and mapping capabilities by gathering related patent information in a target technology field, and then processing and analyzing it. HULSEY^IP can help a company’s scientific and fiscal management teams to identify the best fits for investment in chosen product vicinity, to create a line of attack to guard their patents, and to create delineation with respect to their competition.

Patent mining and mapping is crucial in that it helps a company decide the prospects of venturing on a new development. Our intellectual property law practitioners can analyze the pros and cons of being a part of a specified technology and can explain the mechanics and back-up solutions that have been employed in a particular product class, determine rivals, and outline their tactics, strong points, and problem-solving ideas.

Our tools and techniques help our clients to understand portfolio content, how and where this fits in with the organization’s competencies and what the market opportunities are for exploiting the technology owned. Our clients are equipped with advanced business intelligence that employs patent data and provides guidance on factors such as:

    R&D projects best suited to your business
    How, when, and where you can let patents lapse
    Areas of technology that are hotbeds for licensing opportunities
    Untapped areas of technology
    Patent portfolios and market positions comparisons
    Emerging R&D trends
    Potential investment areas and partners
    Competitive intelligence

HULSEY^IP can chart and index patent claims, retrieve and cross-correlate all prosecution data, including prior art, obtain a graphic overview of the history of claims, interactively surf file histories, and study the citation history of prior art. Our patent mining and mapping capabilities provide meaningful new correlations, patterns and trends, data analysis and mathematical techniques. Additionally, we can identify gaps where complementary technology can be licensed in and identify non-core technology where know-how can be licensed out or divested for financial return.
