Patent Asset Solution™ (PAS)

In today’s business climate, organizations need to extract more revenue from existing assets. Gaining real-time visibility and control over your patents and other intellectual property (IP) is the ideal way to achieve this. According to analysts McKinsey & Company, 10 percent of a patent portfolio can generate as much as 5 percent or more of a company’s operating income.

PAS is an enterprise software suite designed specifically to automate licensing and IP management activities and give you the power to better analyze, determine the value of, and get more revenue from your IP. PAS’s rich patent analytics and valuation tools, combined with sophisticated integration of patent and business databases, ease and accelerate the monetization of your IP and help you:

• Improve portfolio categorization
• Streamline IP management processes
• Quantify IP value
• Achieve strategic positioning in licensing negotiations
• Comply with FASB 141/142, Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory requirements
• Improve your understanding of enterprise IP value and core competencies

The product delivers four major features which together deliver the patent, technology, and business resources essential to the financial assessment and management of IP:

Portfolio – provides a transparent and strategic overview of your patents and associated IP, delivering improved visibility into where patents are employed internally, as well as the activity of your competitors.

Analysis – helps perform a complete assessment of IP holdings. Easy-to-use tools and reports provide important contextual information such as comparisons of patents in your portfolio, patents held by competitors, and recent patenting activity.

Valuation – provides financial benchmarks and a suite of IP-based valuation models in an easy-to-use format.

Licensing – helps define better deals and accelerate negotiations through two unique, easy-to-search databases.

Built on Microsoft’s open .Net platform, PAS is flexible and scalable. It can be deployed in a variety of models and tailored to fit your current and your long-term enterprise needs.
