PatentsKart helps law firms identify candidate portfolios around selected companies, products and technologies; uncover overlooked opportunities within existing client portfolios; and prepare the expert-led technical and commercial groundwork required for counsel and funder review.
Plaintiff-side teams frequently depend on patent owners bringing portfolios to the firm. Counsel then invests time assessing ownership, products, claim charts, evidence and commercial relevance before knowing whether the matter deserves further attention.
PatentsKart adds a proactive option. A firm can begin with preferred companies, product categories or technologies, identify candidate patents and portfolios, and evaluate which opportunities justify counsel-led engagement. The same capability can also mine existing client portfolios and support defense, cross-assertion and negotiation strategy.
Begin with selected defendants, products, technologies or market segments and identify candidate patents and smaller or under-commercialized portfolios for counsel-led evaluation.
Review client portfolios at scale to uncover overlooked licensing, potential-enforcement and strategic-leverage opportunities.
Prepare claim-to-product evidence, product-version analysis, ownership/status, preliminary risk, commercial relevance and the remaining diligence map before substantial attorney or funder resources are committed.
Identify relevant assets within a client’s portfolio that may support cross-assertion, counterclaim, settlement, cross-licensing or broader commercial negotiations.
PatentsKart helps law firms identify stronger opportunities earlier, structure the evidence, and focus attorney time where it can create the most value.
A patent owner must first approach the firm before the opportunity enters the workflow.
