— ENHANCED Technology Vitality Report
Not every idea is worth pursuing. The Enhanced TVR tells you which ones are.
The Enhanced TVR within IQIdeas+ is the gut check that happens before the investment. Novelty scores, obviousness risk, and cited prior art mapped to every claim. Everything an IP team needs to decide whether an idea is worth pursuing.
— WHY IT MATTERS
Without a fast way to evaluate novelty, teams default to instinct over evidence.
Instinct is expensive. Ideas that look promising can fail scrutiny. Ideas that look incremental can be more novel than anyone realized. The Enhanced TVR gives every disclosure a fair, data-backed assessment before the investment is made.
Too many disclosures, not enough signal to prioritize them
Without a fast, objective way to assess novelty, teams rely on intuition and advocacy to decide what moves forward. The result is a pipeline shaped by whoever argues loudest, not which ideas have the most IP potential.
The later you catch a weak idea, the more it costs
An idea that fails at the disclosure stage costs minutes. The same idea failing after development, drafting, and prosecution costs significantly more. Early novelty screening is where that cost gets controlled.
A quantitative novelty and obviousness assessment, generated in minutes inside IQ Ideas+.
— HOW IT WORKS
A scored patentability assessment in three steps.
Submit your invention. Get a scored assessment. Move forward with confidence, or go back and refine with data behind the call.
— Step 1: Upload
Structure your brainstorm with CompassAI
Submit your invention disclosure inside IQ Ideas+. CompassAI automatically extracts the key invention elements. No manual formatting required.
— Step 2: Analyze
Identifying relevant prior art
Semantic Gist® identifies the most semantically relevant prior art across patents, applications, and non-patent literature, including exclusive sources unavailable on other platforms. Use CompassAI prompts to refine claims and surface differentiators.
— Step 3: Evaluate
Generating comprehensive reports
Generate a complete Enhanced TVR in one click. Review your novelty scores, obviousness risk rating, and mapped citations. Then decide whether to move forward, refine the claims, or redirect the effort entirely.
— The Enhanced TVR
Your bridge between idea and decision.
The Enhanced Technology Vitality Report delivers a clear, scored patentability assessment with claim-level visibility into what’s driving the result — helping teams decide whether to refine, pivot, or escalate for legal review.
— WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Sourced, mapped, and ready to act on.
Every Enhanced TVR delivers the same structured assessment, scored against global prior art and mapped to specific references so every finding is traceable.
Novelty Scores
Two scores per report: the Invention Novelty Score measures dissimilarity from the closest prior art in the database. The Competitive Novelty Score excludes your own organization, giving a cleaner read on where the invention stands relative to competitors specifically. A low score is a signal to refine, redirect, or consider defensive publication.
Claim-Level Analysis
Obviousness Risk Analysis flags potential rejection exposure across all Points of Novelty, clearly labeled so you know where prosecution risk is concentrated. Each point is mapped to the most relevant prior art, with applicability analysis explaining why each reference matters. Up to 25 citations per report, significantly more than the industry standard.
Competitive Intelligence
Enterprise Patent Activity ranks the most active organizations in your technology space. Filing Trend data shows whether the space is heating up, crowded, or still open. Useful context for prosecution strategy and FTO planning.

— USE CASES
From triage to filing strategy, one assessment drives the decision.
The Enhanced TVR fits wherever an early, objective novelty signal changes what happens next.Â
Invention Triage
Evaluate a full pipeline of disclosures quickly, separating high-novelty ideas from incremental improvements without routing everything through outside counsel first.
Pre-Filing Assessment
Use novelty and obviousness scores to identify weak claims and refine them before prosecution begins. Fewer rejections, stronger applications, and counsel time spent on cases that are ready for it.
Defensive Publication Decisions
A low novelty score isn’t always a filing dead end. Sometimes it’s a defensive publication decision. The TVR gives you the data to make that call early, before legal resources are committed.
Competitive Intelligence
Enterprise Patent Activity and filing trend data give you a real-time view of who’s active in your technology space and how fast it’s moving, useful context for both prosecution strategy and FTO planning.
Academic and Tech Transfer
Evaluate disclosures before licensing discussions to quickly identify which technologies have differentiated IP potential and which need further development.

Self-serve. Unlimited. Under five minutes.
Traditional outsourced KO reports take days and cost per engagement, which means teams ration them to the ideas they’re already confident about. The Enhanced TVR removes that friction entirely.

The Enhanced TVR is the evaluate step. The IP.com analytics platform extends through the full innovation lifecycle, from first filing through portfolio management.
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.
Portfolio Intelligence Report
For organizations managing large patent portfolios, the Portfolio Intelligence Report applies the same scoring framework across all assets. Identify what’s strong, what’s exposed, and where to focus resources.
