Assessing intellectual property quality and validity has become increasingly data-intensive, with patent portfolios often containing thousands of documents that require systematic evaluation. Current manual assessment methods can take hundreds of hours per portfolio, while missing critical relationships between patents, prior art, and emerging technologies.

The fundamental challenge lies in developing reliable, scalable methods to evaluate patent strength and validity while accounting for the complex interplay of technical, legal, and commercial factors.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including AI-driven patent scoring systems, blockchain-based risk assessment platforms, natural language processing for claim analysis, and automated portfolio mapping tools. These and other approaches aim to bring consistency and efficiency to IP quality assessment while maintaining the depth of analysis needed for high-stakes decisions.
