Managing a patent portfolio means making high-stakes decisions — often with limited time, limited visibility, and increasing pressure on budgets. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a significant step forward in patent intelligence: Patent Portfolio Analysis — now live inside PioneerIP.
What Is Patent Portfolio Analysis?
Patent Portfolio Analysis is a powerful new PioneerIP tool that ranks patents against each other based on their infringement risk and litigation potential — using real-world product data.
Simply upload your patent portfolio and run a scan. The system analyzes your patent claims against a wide range of product configurations, highlighting which assets are most likely to be infringed.
This means:
- You can identify which patents have the highest enforcement or licensing potential.
- You reduce waste by identifying low-impact assets to save maintenance budget.
- You make smart, data-driven decisions about where to focus resources.
No more relying on gut instinct or scattered spreadsheets. Just one clear, ranked view of your portfolio — with insights that help you enforce, monetize, or prune with confidence.
Why This Matters
Not all patents have equal value. But most companies treat them that way — especially when it comes time to pay the 11.5-year maintenance fee.
Here’s what we’ve seen:
💰 One PioneerIP client, a California-based software company, saved over $1 million in unnecessary renewal costs by using our platform to evaluate a 1,000-patent portfolio.
- 32% of their patents approaching renewal at 11.5 years had no commercialization, no citations, and no litigation relevance
- PioneerIP flagged 128 patents for discontinuation.
- 💸 Cost of PioneerIP: $25,000
- 💹 ROI: 4,140%
“Most patents never generate commercial value. We just helped make that visible.”
