Time to insight: accelerated. Ask your question in plain language. Protégé handles the logic and multi-variable analysis to deliver strategic answers you can trust, helping you decide faster and with more confidence. Generative AI Purpose-Built to Accelerate IP Analytics and Drive Strategic Decisions Start with a business question in plain language. Protégé in PatentSight+ handles the analysis logic, delivers structured insights, and suggests next steps, so you can act faster with more confidence. Patent Search and Retrieval Defining the right patent set can be challenging, especially with only a vague starting point. Protégé interprets natural language input, searches across patent content and metadata, and clearly explains how the results were generated. It delivers a relevant, structured set and visualizes findings in a static format for quick review and confident next steps. Competitive Monitoring Comparing IP activity across key competitors often requires digging into portfolio differences and spotting gaps. Protégé quickly surfaces relevant patents, organizes them by owner, and highlights distinctions in scope and strength to reveal strategic positioning. Patent Summarization Reviewing large patent sets can be time-consuming and inefficient. Protégé generates plain-language summaries that make it easier to scan for relevance and confirm whether the dataset aligns with the intended scope without having to read every document. Portfolio Optimization Making decisions about which patents to maintain, monetize, or divest requires clarity on value and alignment. Protégé analyzes any defined set and highlights non-core, redundant, or low-impact assets, supporting smarter portfolio decisions. Trend Detection Spotting how innovation is shifting over time is critical for identifying emerging players or market moves. Protégé visualizes development trends based on custom criteria and explains key shifts, providing early signals that inform strategic direction. Landscape Creation Building a reliable view of a technology domain often starts with vague input and takes significant effort. Protégé interprets that input to retrieve a well-structured patent set and organizes the results for confident exploration, segmentation, and communication. Search Segmentation Large patent result sets can be difficult to interpret without clear structure. Protégé segments results by dimensions like technology, geography, or ownership, surfacing patterns, concentrations, or whitespace to guide next steps. M&A Evaluating the IP of a potential acquisition involves assessing strategic fit and risk. Protégé reviews the scope and quality of the target portfolio, highlights overlaps and gaps, and flags issues like litigation exposure—helping stakeholders move toward a well-supported decision.
