Approach
At Neopatents, our goal is to put business leaders in control of their patents. We want to help you maximize your ROIP — your Return On Investment in Patents.
We do this by breaking the patenting process into steps, and taking a consultative approach to designing patents. Our first question is usually “What do you want your patents to do for your company?”
The answers range widely. Some companies want to protect their product line and points of differentiation. Others want to have a portfolio of many patents with which to engage in cross-licensing discussions. A third answer might be to increase the valuation of an entrepreneurial venture.
We feel that patents should serve the business and help it achieve its goals — you can almost think of them as employees. With Neopatents’ Patent Smart™ process, you can manage your patent activity like you manage other critical business processes.
5-STAR Quality Process
Quality is the primary consideration in our operations. We designed our process to be 100% accurate, and instituted five key checkpoints, or “gates”, to inspect every search.
The heart of our system is our 5-STAR™ process: Search with Technology, Analysis, and Reporting with a five-point quality inspection program.
The “Technology” piece is our patents-pending software designed to assist clients in maximizing their return on investment in patents. Neopatents’ software was specifically designed by patent practitioners precisely for patent research and analysis – providing a systematic approach and proprietary algorithms to guarantee finding all relevant documents.
“Analysis” is the applied expertise of our searchers and their supervisors, where they interpret the results of the searches and reach accurate conclusions on your patent activities.
“Reporting” is putting the results into a comprehensive written report with PatentMatrix Diagrams and Spore Diagrams to effectively communicate complex information in a graphical way.
