METHODOLOGY

Our Structured Approach to Patent Portfolio Analysis

Quandary Peak Research employs a multi-tiered approach to patent portfolio analysis, ensuring that we focus on high-value patents with the potential to generate maximum returns. Our methodology includes a thorough assessment process that filters and highlights the most promising patents in your portfolio through three distinct stages:
100% of Patents 1. High-Level Analysis

In this initial stage, we perform an objective patent analysis on the entire portfolio, examining each patent based on factors like forward and backward citations, claim scope, priority date, and relevance to current technology trends. This step also includes a market size analysis, providing a broad understanding of the potential value across your patent portfolio. By reviewing all patents, we lay the groundwork for identifying key assets that may warrant further investigation.

20% of Patents 2. Deep Dive Analysis

After a high-level assessment, the most promising patents move into the Deep Dive phase. We conduct detailed claims analysis, scout  potential targets for licensing or enforcement, check for seminal patents in SEP databases, and perform litigation checks to assess each patent’s market significance. Our engineering team collaborates with subject matter experts to finalize selections, ensuring only the most impactful assets advance to the next stage.

5% of Patents 3. EoU Claim Charts

The final stage focuses on the top 5% of patents that demonstrate the highest potential for monetization. These patents undergo rigorous review by our PhD experts, who guide our engineering team in building Evidence of Use claim charts to substantiate their commercial applicability. In-depth product testing and reverse engineering is applied when necessary, enabling us to construct robust claim charts for strong licensing negotiations or litigation.
