Why Cipher?

Because life’s too short to be counting and sorting patents manually.

Our mission is to enable a rational understanding of patents by:

Strategic Patent Intelligence

Providing the patent intelligence required by IP teams to support strategic patent decisions.

Machine Learning Algorithms

Automating all analysis that does not need to be conducted manually and developing machine learning algorithms with proven levels of accuracy.

Evidence-based decisions

Creating better ways to communicate the value of patents both internally and externally to key stakeholders.

     
   
     

100 Million Patent Families, 1 Million Owners

It’s painful to answer the foundational patent question, ‘who owns what?’

Your Own Taxonomy

At the heart of Cipher classification sits your own view of the technology landscape. Custom Classifiers are built using seed patents to create a unique set of training data. 

You have your own taxonomy with all the classifiers you need so you can have an updated view of your world anytime…automated, efficient, repeatable.

LexisNexis Cipher delivers 96% accuracy from an independently-created test.

We use supervised machine learning for the classification of patents. Our customers trust us, not simply because of our Machine Learning algorithms; but because they know how the system works and can easily verify the accuracy of the results.

Cipher Classification accuracy has been independently tested and our work on creating Gold Standards has been published as a case study in World Patent Information, a leading industry journal.

Who Are Your Real Threats?

You can’t develop a risk mitigation strategy that is going to work without first obtaining a solid understanding of where threats to your patent portfolio might lie. Find out how you do this in our webinar ‘Who Are Your Real Threats?’ where we help you identify the red flags before they start waving.
