Every IP leader knows the questions that matter. Which of our patents read on a competitor’s product line? Where does the portfolio cover our roadmap, and where is it thin? Which families are worth the next maintenance fee? Answering any one of them today means pulling a spreadsheet from the docketing system, a memo from outside counsel, and a few weeks of someone’s time. In Tradespace, you ask.
Ask the question you actually have
The portfolio sits alongside a conversation. You ask in plain language, the way you would ask a colleague: show me the patents with claims that map to a competitor’s processors. Tradespace searches your own claims, tells you what it is looking for, and comes back with the families that match, the stages they sit in, and where the strongest overlap is. Then it offers the next step, like building a claim chart against the relevant product lines.
Map the portfolio to the business
Ask it to map your IP to the product value chain and it doesn’t just answer, it builds the view: every active family placed against the stages of the chain, with coverage per stage and the representative patents behind each one. It is the analysis you would commission from a consultant, generated in the moment and clickable.
See the strengths, the gaps, and the white space
The point of the map is what it surfaces. Tradespace flags the stages where claim density is lowest relative to your roadmap, names the families that carry each stage, and tells you where to look before the next product ships. Strengths, gaps, and white space, in one pass.
Why this only works in a platform
None of this is possible when the portfolio lives in a law firm’s docketing system, where the data is theirs to export and yours to request. It works because your portfolio lives in your platform, next to the disclosures, the prosecution history, and the strategy notes, so the answers come from your own data and the underlying records are a click away.
This is what changes when your portfolio lives in your platform, not your law firm’s filing cabinet.
