The AI Behind Every Defensible IP Decision.
IP.com delivers the corpus-grounded, scored, citable intelligence IP and R&D teams need for the decisions that matter most — what’s novel, where risk lives, and what to file, publish, defend, or drop.
— Accelerate Innovation Decisions
From insight to decision, without losing momentum.
Slow IP research, disconnected innovation workflows, and uncertain novelty are costing teams time, budget, and competitive ground. We bring everything your teams need together in one place.
Know what's novel, before you invest
Score early concepts against the global corpus — which are novel, which are already done, which risk infringing — before budget is committed.
Build IP you can defend
Pressure-test novelty with scored, sourced evidence, so only the strongest ideas move into drafting — with a record that holds up to scrutiny.
Decide what's worth protecting
Score an IP asset or portfolio to know what to license, defend, prune, or monetize — intelligence grounded in data, not intuition.
— Meet the Innovation Power Suite™
One intelligence system for every IP decision.
Software, analytics, and expert services on one corpus and one methodology — run it yourself, or have our experts run it for you.
Ideate & Evaluate
Turn rough concepts into structured invention disclosures and use patented novelty scoring to focus investment on the ideas most worth pursuing.
Discover & Analyze
Search patents and non-patent literature with AI and visualize competitive intelligence so teams can find the most relevant prior art and see the landscape clearly.
Defensively Publish
Protect your innovations, block competitors, and defend your freedom to operate, for as little as 2% of the cost of a patent filing.
TVR Enhanced
A scored, sourced patentability assessment available instantly, so teams can evaluate novelty before development begins, before counsel, before commitment. Includes annotated prior art, a novelty score, and a recommendation on whether to proceed.
TVR Lite
A lighter-weight novelty screen for concepts still taking shape, delivering directional patentability signal without the full scoring and annotation of TVR Enhanced. Get a fast read on whether an idea is worth pursuing before committing to a deeper assessment.
Patent Vitality Report (PVR)
An objective, quantitative assessment of a single patent or application across 14 scored indices, benchmarked against a peer group of 100 semantically matched patents. Built for decisions about renewal, licensing, acquisition, or litigation preparation.
Portfolio Intelligence Report (PIR)
Applies PVR-level scoring across every asset in a portfolio, giving IP leaders a complete picture of portfolio health. Identify high-value assets, licensing candidates, and underperformers — sliced by technology area, brand, or business unit.
Freedom to Operate (FTO) Services
Determine whether your product or technology can reach market without infringing active third-party patents across the jurisdictions that matter most.
State of the Art Search Services
Surface the full body of existing knowledge in a technology space — patents, literature, and competitive filings — to inform R&D direction before development begins.
Evidence of Use Services
Map patent claims to real-world products and processes already in market, supporting licensing negotiations, monetization strategy, and enforcement decisions.
Patent Landscape Services
Get a visual, analyst-curated picture of who’s filing in your space, where activity is concentrated, and where competitive whitespace exists.
Patent Invalidity/Validity Search
Challenge or defend the validity of a specific patent with a rigorous prior art search built for IPR proceedings, litigation, and acquisition due diligence.
Patentability Search Services
US-based analysts assess whether your invention is novel and non-obvious before you commit time and budget to prosecution.

Why Patent Challengers Are Quietly Abandoning IPRs for Reexamination
For more than a decade, the answer to “we’ve been sued for patent infringement” was reflexive: file an inter partes review. The IPR was the break-glass tool of the post-AIA era — expensive, adversarial, but predictable enough to manufacture settlement leverage and, with luck, a litigation stay. That reflex has…Read more >
