Patent Classification Define your view of the technology area you operate in with Classification powered by Cipher. REQUEST A MEETING Bring clarity to innovation by exploring the world of Patent Classification. Discover how the power of machine learning can help you to gain valuable insights for your IP strategy. Why Classification? In order to effectively manage your patent portfolio, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the technology areas in which you operate. This knowledge allows you to analyze your competitors, compare your performance against theirs, and optimize your portfolio accordingly. To achieve this level of understanding, it is necessary to develop your own definition of the technology landscape. You can utilize Classifiers to obtain a comprehensive view of this landscape without having to manually tag patents or construct complex boolean queries. This is an essential tool for any IP team, as it ensures that no key patents are overlooked. Request a demo What is Classification With 44+m active patents, how can you zone in on the patents that are relevant to the technology areas you operate in? By building a classifier that is defined to your technology area will allow you to do this.LexisNexis PatentSight+ uses Classification powered by Cipher, which uses AI to read all the 44m+ patents globally and pull the relevant patents into your classifier. The classifier is defined by you and the machine does all the hard work of going and finding the right patents. The machine can read more than 60 million patents an hour and looks at 200,000 data points in the patent. REQUEST A DEMO How does Classification work Firstly, you define the scope of the technology area for your classifier.Secondly, the classifier is trained by using a training set of patents that should be in the classifier and those that shouldn’t be included.Thirdly, you review and use extra information such as similar families or suggestions to refine the classifier.Finally, you evaluate the results and build your patent landscape and report in PatentSight+. REQUEST A DEMO Classification powered by Cipher is used by many companies LexisNexis Cipher has built over 9000 classifiers for Patent owning organisations and they are all actively using their view of the technology space to proactively manage their patent portfolios. READ CASE STUDIES Jared EngstromHead of Patent DevelopmentRed Hat “LexisNexis Cipher’s way of approaching classification is particularly useful because it’s customised to the way Red Hat views the world in terms of technological taxonomy.” Rob CalicoVice President IP and LitigationARM “I’m delighted how we’ve implemented LexisNexis Cipher. We’ve reduced 10-year expenses by nearly half by moving from a system where filings were based on headcount growth, to one where we systematically identify weakness in our portfolio, and file where necessary to ensure our patent ‘wall’ is maintained.” LexisNexis Cipher Essentials Why Cipher Because we combine expertise in intellectual property (IP) and classified patent data to provide evidence-based decisions.
