Patent Portfolio Optimization
Being proactive on your patent portfolio strategy will ensure you are optimizing your patent portfolio and rightsizing it in key technology areas to optimize your budget and spend.
Why Portfolio Optimization is Essential
Strategically managing your portfolio so you optimize your budget to achieve your business goals is continuous and requires constant review.
New competitors, evolving or new technologies can all impact your portfolio. How can you make sure you are able to proactively manage your portfolio for budget cuts, changing landscapes to reduce risk and deliver value?
Only 19% of Patent Owners Think That Their Patent Portfolio is Optimized
This was a finding from a survey – “How Many Patents Are Enough?” – conducted by LexisNexis Cipher.
“It is generally accepted that an organisation can have too many or too few patents. While finding and maintaining the equilibrium will always be challenging, strategic patent intelligence offers the analysis required for evidence-based decisions which are capable of withstanding robust scrutiny.”

Frequently Asked Questions about Portfolio Optimization
Depending on the industry your company is in, and its overall business targets, you may find that that the status of your portfolio may be very different to those of comparable enterprises.
How strong is my patent portfolio?

How can I optimize international filing?
Are you filing in the right countries compared to your competitors? Where can you save on international filings and where should you be growing?
How can I develop a pruning strategy?
Are you pruning your portfolio effectively enough to keep costs down while not sacrificing licensing potential? Where can you prune with the least impact? How should you respond to a budget cut?
How can I demonstrate value for money effectively?
Communicate your patent strategy to justify your patent budget and annuity fees through patent analytics that your CFO and Finance team will understand and buy into.
Am I spending too much on maintaining the patent portfolio?
After a certain amount of time, patents with no citations may no longer be technologically relevant. Identify technology areas where non-relevant patents are active and quickly identify patents that could be pruning candidates. Look at the annuity fees and find out how much these patents will cost you if you maintain them until the end of their lifetime.
