Patent Portfolio Decision Support Systems Pioneer

PatentCafe pioneered the integration of Latent Semantic Analysis / advanced linguistics patent search technology, portfolio management software, online patent analytics, and an international patent database, into a the industry’s first, and only Decision Support System (DSS) class of enterprise software applications.

Its proven Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) patent search technology, first introduced in 2003, revolutionized patent research by saving customers up to 40% of the time and costs associated with using legacy Boolean patent search engines, while significantly increasing the quality of their patents. Since KSR v. Teleflex, no other research solution has proven to find more “non-obvious” patent prior art for offensive or defensive matters relating to patent validity.

It’s statistical quality analytics engine has become the industry standard for objective, on-demand quantitative evaluation of patent portfolio assets, with accuracy often being cited as superior to human patent analysis.

PatentCafe's seasoned management, Board of Directors, investors, and advisory team bring an unparalleled scope of legal, software, IP and business talent to the table. And although it’s one of the oldest intellectual property companies on the Internet, PatentCafe remains one of the “youngest” – by remaining the innovative first-mover in patent software application development and technology integration.

As a socially responsible corporation, the company created and supports a wide array of programs to help schools, inventor organizations, regional economic development organizations, and leading retail companies create tomorrow’s great inventions and inventors.
