PATENT PORTFOLIO MINING
What is Patent Portfolio Mining?

​

Patent Portfolio Mining is a process of extracting high value patents in a portfolio and exploring licensing opportunities. To mine the best patents in large portfolios, Copperpod uses 40+ parameters (such as USC 101 issues, potential infringers, forward and backward citations, age of patent and/or foreign applications) to rank patents according to quality and then identify evidence of use or even future use in existing products.

Copperpod IP's patent consultants analyze technology products to build claim charts using document review, product demonstrations and reverse engineering.
A claim chart is a visual representation of evidence showing how each claim limitation has been implemented by an infringing product or service. While formatting can vary, at a minimum a claim chart lists all relevant claim limitations in one column, and provides evidence (such as screenshots or text from product marketing material, developer documentation, FAQs, videos, network tests and/or photographs of the product or teardowns of the product) in another column against each of the claim limitations.
