Presenter: Ryan Rozich, Innography
Register: send email to Karoline McLaughlin at kmclaughlin @ innography.com
This session will cover going beyond patents to get richer and more complete technology landscapes. We will discuss trends and changes in patent analysis, the need to go beyond patent searching for technology landscaping, and strategies for correlating non-patent data with patent data. Strategies will include correlating business/financial data with patent landscapes to segment large company patent holders from small patent holders, and correlating litigation data with patent landscapes to put together risk profiles for certain technology areas. The session will conclude with a live technology demonstration using a business intelligence platform to perform online analysis.
Wednesday, October 15 – 9:00am - 11:00am
Presenter: Jeff Adler, LexisNexis
Register: send an email to Pamela Tippett at pamela.tippett @ lexisnexis.com
This workshop is designed to show how IP solutions from LexisNexis can function independently but how much better they function when used together. During the workshop we will demonstrate how closely the prosecution and litigation of patent applications is integrated with the research and retrieval of patent information. The workshop will begin with a detailed review of TotalPatent, the world's most comprehensive full text patent research tool and then focus on PatentOptimizer, the unique tool designed by patent law professionals to help construct, analyze and deconstruct patents.

Full abstract available here.
This in-depth workshop will educate and instruct users in performing and automating many forms of patent analysis. From simple charting tools to categorizers and valuation algorithms, participants will gain deep insight into the tools and methods that impress and engage executive management - because they get the job done at lower risk and higher value. Workshop subject matter will focus on extracting business insights and cover the automation of a range of techniques including charting and graphing, identifying white spaces, effectively categorizing patents and much more. The tools discussed will include Vantage Point/Thomson Data Analyzer, Microsoft Excel, Innography, Patent Cafe and several other paid and free resources. By the end of the workshop, takeaways will include new approaches to assessing patent risks and opportunities, estimating patent quality, and quantifying options in patent licensing, sales or litigation.
