The Problem

Companies spend $30K–$60K per patent but have no way to measure if their portfolio is strategically valuable. Competitive patent landscape analysis takes weeks of manual work. Patent valuation for M&A due diligence relies on subjective attorney assessments. 50% of patents in most portfolios are commercially worthless.
