Until recently, investors haven’t had the ability to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of patent portfolios within their competitive landscapes. IP Checkups enables investment professionals to take a close look at how competitors are developing technologies relative to one another.

Considering the fact that intangible assets account for more than 80% of the S&P 500 companies' market value, it is essential for professional investors and capital managers to perform extensive patent portfolio analyses before making an investment.

By understanding the strengths of a particular company's patent portfolio relative to the competition, financial analysts, VC’s and capital managers can quickly eliminate those companies lacking strong proprietary patent estates. Regardless of the strengths of the management team, the business model, and the fundamentals, understanding the intricacies that underlie competitive patent landscapes offers investment professionals a tangible means for accurately predicting which enterprises will succeed and which will fail.

Currently, few investment professionals consider comprehensive patent portfolio analyses before making investments. As patents continue to play an increasingly important role in developing high tech business models, IP Checkups' proprietary competitive patent landscape analyses enable investment professionals to make more informed investment decisions while avoiding costly mistakes.

Exploring competitive technology landscapes is what IP Checkups does best. We quickly reveal the value of companies' patent assets relative to the competitive landscape and deliver clients comprehensive, reasonably priced services without data overload.
