FinTech

Strategic intelligence in the face of digital disruption across the financial sector

Cipher developed its first FinTech taxonomy in collaboration with major banks in North America and Europe.

We also support patent teams tackling the challenges of digital transformation: from cashless payments and mobile banking to blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

I want a solid strategy built on real data and access to analytics that can support insights on technology trends and activity at a granular level. Sources of digital innovation are very fragmented so the more useable the information you have, the more sensible the decisions you make.

Calum Smyth, Global Head of IP, Barclays
