Patent Intelligence

Understand future innovation trends by technology

There are several data platforms that help IP teams to efficiently navigate the patent lifecycle. 

Cipher has been developed to aid strategic decisions around the management of your current patent portfolio. Cipher uniquely uses supervised machine learning to create unique views of technology areas.

Patent Intelligence to build your business for the future

How are you strategically managing your patent assets and ensuring that you have a portfolio that is fit for the future?

At Cipher we help our customers by giving them their view of the key technology areas to understand the innovation trends in their competitive landscape.  

Read how the IP community is managing their portfolios strategically.

Cipher enables you to strategically manage your patent portfolio so you can understand and benchmark against your competition or threats to optimise your portfolio in order to mitigate risk and manage your budget.

Cipher helps you do this by modelling cross licensing and monetisation options. Cipher is also there to help with one off events such as due diligence and inbound patent assertion.

Cipher gave us the ability to understand the technology landscape and was an important foundation layer in creating a strategy for protecting our innovations whilst enabling us to understand how best to deal with others in potential conflict areas.

How can Cipher do this?

Cipher enables you to build your view of the technology landscape, so you only see the relevant patents to your different business areas.  Cipher uses supervised machine learning to build customer classifiers that are around your definition of the technology area.

Cipher is the only patent intelligence platform that has been thoroughly independently tested and the only platform that uses classification from the raw patent data and not from a boolean search.
