Janice Stevenson, EVP of Client Relations, will highlight new ways to discover the innovative technologies being introduced by established organizations. Drawing on new intelligent reporting capabilities in CLAIMS Direct, she will explain how to employ Ultimate Owner relationships to uncover subjects of interest that may be unknown to researchers using traditional patent search methods.

Currently in beta, the Ultimate Owner data enhancement in CLAIMS Direct enables users to create a portfolio report which summarizes an Ultimate Owner’s global patent assets, grouped by patent family. IFI defines an Ultimate Owner as a corporate entity that has one or more subsidiaries with patent assets – i.e. subsidiaries that appear as either original or current patent applicants or assignees.
Visualizations created with Tableau using IFI data and illustrating a variety of interesting findings will be presented.
IP Service World will take place November 26-27 in Munich, Germany. Janice Stevenson’s presentation will be on Monday, November 26 at 16:40. Visit the conference website for more information.
