— PORTFOLIO INTELLIGENCE REPORT
Your portfolio has high-value assets and low-value ones. Do you know which is which?
The Portfolio Intelligence Report (PIR) scores every patent in a portfolio against the same 14-factor framework, benchmarked against a dynamically generated peer group of the 100 most comparable patents. The result is a ranked, sortable view of the entire portfolio, so renewal, licensing, enforcement, and divestiture decisions are grounded in data, not intuition.
— WHY IT MATTERS
Most portfolio decisions are made without a consistent way to compare assets.
Without objective, repeatable scoring across the full portfolio, the wrong patents get renewed, the right ones get overlooked, and opportunities for licensing or enforcement go unrecognized.
Patent evaluation lacks consistency
When assets are assessed one at a time, by different people, using different criteria, the portfolio ends up managed by consensus and historical momentum rather than comparative data.
Classification-based benchmarking has blind spots
Classification-based scoring only compares a patent to others in the same CPC or IPC bucket. Patent writers are strategic about classification. The most relevant competitive art often sits in adjacent industries, written in different jargon, filed under different codes.
Scale forces reactive decision-making
Renewal, licensing, and enforcement decisions happen across hundreds or thousands of assets. Without scored, sortable data, the default is inertia: renew everything, act on nothing, until a deadline or a deal forces the issue.
— HOW IT WORKS
A repeatable scoring process, applied to every patent in the portfolio.
Submit your portfolio. The IP.com analytics team handles the rest.
— Step 1: Define the Portfolio
Define the scope: your own portfolio, a competitor’s holdings, an acquisition target, or any collection of patents. PIR covers broad global authority coverage including granted patents and applications.
— Step 2: Generate the Peer Group
For each patent, the IP.com semantic retrieval engine identifies a dynamic peer group of 100 conceptually related patents. Concept-based retrieval captures competitive context across industries that classification-based approaches miss. That peer group is what every score is measured against.
— Step 3: Score and Deliver
Every patent receives scores across 14 Patent Insight Indexes, grouped into four business value groups. The result is a ranked, sortable view of the entire portfolio, ready to act on.
— WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A complete portfolio view, scored and ready to use.
Every PIR delivers the same structured output: scores across 14 Patent Insight Indexes per patent, organized into four business value groups and visualized for immediate use.
Business Value Group
What It Measures
Primary Use
Overall Strength
A weighted average of all 14 Patent Insight Indexes — the go-to first sort for any portfolio review. For patents under five years old, key indexes are overweighted to avoid undervaluing emerging technologies.
Portfolio triage, renewal decisions, first-pass ranking
Monetization Potential
Evaluates licensing and sale attractiveness based on market position, technology breadth, and portfolio commitment. High scores correlate with higher renewal probability and stronger licensing candidacy.
Outbound licensing, asset divestiture
Litigation Risk
Measures likelihood of enforcement activity or legal challenge, correlated against global historical litigation data. High-scoring patents are more likely to be used offensively or challenged. Useful for both offense and defense.
Risk management, enforcement strategy
New Technology Value
Evaluates uniqueness, quality, peer recognition, and technology outlook. Particularly useful for spotting potentially influential patents before they have had time to fully mature in forward citation metrics.
Early-stage portfolio development, R&D investment prioritization
Portfolio Radar Summary
A radar chart displaying each patent’s scores across Overall Strength, Litigation Risk, Monetization Potential, New Technology Value, and Patent Quality, benchmarked against Average, Typical, and Low Warning thresholds. Immediately shows where an asset is strong and where it is exposed.
Monetization Scatter Plot
Maps Patent Quality against Monetization Potential for every asset in the portfolio. A four-quadrant view that separates strong licensing candidates from assets with limited commercial appeal, before outreach or negotiation begins.

Patent Vitality Report
Once an idea clears the TVR and moves to prosecution, the Patent Vitality Report assesses individual patent strength, litigation risk, and monetization potential, so maintenance and licensing decisions are grounded in data, not guesswork.
Enhanced Technology Vitality Report
Earlier in the innovation lifecycle, before prosecution begins, the Enhanced TVR delivers a scored novelty and obviousness assessment at the disclosure stage. Filter which ideas are worth developing further before they become portfolio decisions.
Consulting Services
For organizations that need expert interpretation layered over PIR data, the IP.com Professional Services team provides structured analysis, strategic recommendations, and stakeholder-ready deliverables. PIR provides the data foundation. Consulting Services provides the judgment on top of it.
