We pressure-test your claims the way an IPR or opposition will, gauge your assertion potential and the damages a successful campaign could recover, and align it to real demand across operating companies, consortia, and NPEs — then engineer continuation claims for the white-space that matters.
Proprietary in-house LLMs + workflows · 30 years in patent sales, licensing & research · U.S.-based, ITAR-aware
We're not a valuation shop putting a dollar figure on your patents. We determine whether your portfolio can actually perform: whether its claims survive challenge, how hard it can assert, and whether it lines up with what the market is acquiring and licensing right now.
Our analysis pressure-tests claim validity against the prior art the way a PTAB IPR or an EPO opposition would, then gauges assertion potential — the strength of an infringement read and the damages a successful campaign could realistically recover. We weigh all of it against live demand in the acquisition and licensing market across operating companies, defensive consortia, and non-practicing entities, so you know not just how strong the assets are, but who actually wants them.
For open portfolios with applications still pending, we run deep white-space analysis: we identify continuation claims that can be filed with low prior-art resistance, and we go further — drafting recommended claim language engineered to track the greatest industry demand in your technology domain, so new filings land exactly where the market is moving.
It all runs on proprietary in-house LLMs and workflows encoding 30 years of patent sales, licensing, and advanced search — directed by experienced analysts at every step. When the analysis says it's time to transact, ICAP Patent Brokerage takes the assets to market.
A continuation isn't worth filing just because the white-space is open. We recommend a filing only when that open space lines up with a true industry need — a domain where competitors will want to compete or practice — so every recommendation points at near-term monetization, not paper coverage. The path below is what's left after all of those signals agree.
A defined sequence — human expertise directing the models at every step, never the other way around.
We load your patents, applications, and priority data, then map claims and families for analysis.
We challenge your key claims against the prior art the way a PTAB IPR or an EPO opposition would, exposing strengths and weak points.
We model infringement-read strength and the potential damages award, then weigh demand across operating companies, consortia, and NPEs.
We surface low-resistance continuation opportunities, draft demand-aligned claim language, and route to ICAP brokerage to transact.
Comprehensive manual prior-art search, amplified by AI and performed entirely in the United States by analysts who practiced as engineers before becoming patent searchers.
Worldwide patent literature and English-language technical publications searched for novelty and non-obviousness. Winnowed to the most relevant references with pinpoint citations and PDF copies — built to support prosecution at the pre-filing stage.
Prior art predating the subject patent's priority date, mapped at the claim-limitation level — the evidentiary backbone of an IPR, opposition, or invalidity defense. We seek a single knock-out reference first, then strong combinations, delivered as a detailed claim chart with references.
From your product disclosure, we search third-party in-force patents in the jurisdictions where the product will be marketed, winnowing to the claims most relevant to your features. References provided.
All active patents and pending applications in your subject area, organized by category — with competitive-intelligence graphs on top filers, filing trends, priority-date trends, and legal status.
Identification of products and parties reading on your claims, supported by detailed claim charts that map accused features to claim limitations — for assertion and licensing programs.
Through our partnership with ICAP Patent Brokerage — a global leader in patent monetization — we help clients acquire strategic portfolios and bring assets to market for sale and licensing.
* Pricing varies with scope. All searching is conducted within the United States by analysts with U.S. citizenship — suited to organizations subject to export-control restrictions.
Our searchers practiced as electrical, optical, software, mechanical, and chemical engineers before becoming patent analysts — fluent in the technology, the terminology, and where the killer art hides.
In-house models and workflows accelerate the work and widen the net, but every conclusion is owned by an experienced analyst. AI for reach; judgment for the call.
No work is offshored. All searching is performed in the United States by analysts with full U.S. citizenship — built for universities with federal funding and clients in controlled technologies.
Our experience in patent sales and licensing is baked into the analysis — so recommendations reflect what buyers and licensees actually pay for, not theory.
When the analysis says it's time to transact, ICAP Patent Brokerage takes the assets to a global network of buyers and licensees — strategy and execution under one roof.
We don't just analyze a portfolio — we surface the open, demand-driven lanes where continuations can be filed with low prior-art resistance, and draft claim language built to track where the market is moving.
ICAP Patent Analytics & Advisory is the evolution of Oink IP — the same U.S.-based search team and standards, now focused on the questions owners care about most: can these patents survive challenge, how hard can they assert, and does the market actually want them?
We sit alongside ICAP Patent Brokerage, the global leader in patent monetization, so analysis and advisory connect directly to a market where assets are sold and licensed. The result is a single practice that can tell you what to do and then help you do it.
Send us your portfolio or technology area and we'll scope a strength-and-strategy assessment — or a search — for you.
