STATISTICAL PATENT FACTOR INDEX REPORT
Patent Factor
Index Reports
(PF/i), Patent
Value Prediction
Reports (PVP),
and Combined
Reports are
used by financial,
business development,
legal and intellectual
property professionals
industry-wide.
Reports can
be generated
for evaluating
granted US patents,
as well as entire
patent
portfolios.
Reports are
typically computer
generated online,
in about 2 hours.
PatentCafe’s
Patent Factor
Index Reports
(PFi) use our
advanced Latent
Semantic Analysis
search engine
to identify
and compare
indices of the
100 patents
most closely
related to the
target patent.
It then employs
large-scale
patent analytics
modeling, (regression,
econometric,
citation and
bibliometric)
to develop Legal,
Commercial and
Technology scores.
 By
computing 20
critical data
fields, the
PFi reports
develop a more
reliable real-world
characterization
of each patent
than other computer
models.
Patent
Factor Index
Reports::
- Break down
Strengths,
Weaknesses,
Opportunities
and Threats
(S.W.O.T.)
of targeted
patent assets.
- Identify
potential
in-licensing
opportunities.
- Help assess
strength of
competitor's
portfolios.
- Evaluate
patents for
acquisition
or divestiture.
- Qualify
patent strength
before assertion
- Charts 25
year technology
adoption/diffusion
S-curve.
Patent
Value Reports
Patent
Value Prediction
Reports (PVP)
differ from
the PFi Reports
in that the
PVP uses a statistical
model to calculate
the value of
an Issued US
Patent or Published
US Patent Application,
as well as the
protected market
size.
The
PVP economic
model is based
on the basic
business premise
that a substantial
fraction of
Gross Domestic
Product (GDP)
is covered by
all patents.
Because PVPs
are based on
objective equations,
they make excellent
tools to help
establish baseline
financial values
of a target
patent, portfolio,
or patent licensing
bundle.
The
statistical,
computer-modeled
Patent Value
Reports are
used for objective:
- Help in
complying
with Sarbanes-Oxley
or FASB 142
reporting
requirements.
- Appraisal
of portfolio
assets being
considered
for licensing,
acquisition,
or investment
- Competitive
Intelligence:
to assess
internal or
competitors'
portfolio
valuations.
- Litigation
Support: to
support trial
arguments
related damages
or patent
values.
Multiple PVP
reports are
best used to
comparatively
assess patent
value when the
actual market
value of one
or two patents
in the group
are already
known. PATENT
VALUATION SYSTEMS
ARE IMPERFECT,
AND DO NOT TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT
ALL MARKET OR
MARKETING, REGULATORY,
COMPETITIVE
ENVIRONMENT
OR OTHER REAL
WORLD FACTORS
THAT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY
EFFECT THE PREDICTED
VALUE.
COMBINED
Reports
The
combined reports
contain all
of the statistical
information
provided in
the Patent Factor
Index Report,
PLUS the predicted
economic value
shown in the
Patent Value
Reports. |
