The regular collection and analysis of competitive intelligence is essential to developing your intellectual property strategy. We help you identify the competitors, patents, product areas, and revenues that are most worth tracking.

By tracking intellectual property assets across your industry and within your organization, Envision IP can help you stay ahead of competitors, be first-to-market with innovative offerings, and help your organization make informed business strategy decisions.

  Patent-to-Product Mapping
   

Understanding your organization's intellectual property assets and how they are currently being monetized is the first step in deciphering your competitive landscape. Our Patent-to-Product Mappings correlate existing and pending patent rights with products in the market, in the pipeline, and on the drawing-board. Our studies can correlate current income (from product commercialization, licensing, etc.) with patent rights, as well as the costs of maintaining the patent and the remaining patent term.

In addition, we can develop Patent-to-Produce Mappings for your competitors or industry, which can give you insight into where your peers are investing their IP and research and development dollars.

  Whitespace Analysis    
   

Whitespace Analysis is the in-depth review of patents belonging to particular industry, sector, or technology space. Our research determines technology growth and gap areas within a particular industry where further research and development can be done to gain competitive edge, as well as to carry out incremental innovation for new product development.

  Patent Landscaping
 
Our Patent Landscaping studies can give your organization a comprehensive view of where it stands amongst it's competitors. Spreadsheets and databases may hold the raw patent data, but it’s often the analysis and extrapolation of this data that drives key decisions. Our studies help clients make research and development investment decisions, as well as identify patent assets and/or competitors which may present licensing, purchase, or takeover opportunities.
   
Competitor Monitoring
 
The way your competitors acquire, protect, and promote their intellectual assets can inadvertently signal their next moves. Using multiple channels of communication (media attention, events, news releases, social networking, etc.), we follow how competitors manage their intellectual assets to get a sense of what they are preparing to do next, in terms of market penetration and research and development efforts.
