Case Study 1
A VC-backed Technology Company: IP Landscape for Hiring Round and Stakeholder Communication

A VC-backed client working in the defence industry requested an IP Landscape report. The company’s management already had a sound understanding of their patent landscape. They sought our help to organise the data they had gathered on potentially competitive patents and to mine this information to identify the most relevant patents and identify key experts for hiring purposes. In addition, the client would use the IP Landscape report to communicate to investors how the firm’s IP strategy relates to their technology space.

Patent-based Inventor Network Analysis

Using our TechBoundary we redefined the client’s technology space, and so identified other previously unknown patent clusters. The IP Landscape report identified industry players new to the client and fresh industry segments where their patent portfolio coverage could be extended.  We used the patent data to generate a list of key experts in the field, identifying their overlapping relationships (illustrated in the inventor network map).  

The client used the IP Landscape report in investor presentations leading up to a successful 2nd founding round....One year later the client requested an IP Landscape to assist their strategic planning for entry into a new area of application of the company’s core technology.

The inventor network map helps users identify who the key experts in a field are, what other inventors and organisations they have worked with in the past. The tool has been used by past clients to identify collaboration and hiring opportunities, and to understand the key relationships in an industry.
