IP Advisory Services| IP Screening Technology
At the core of Ramp is an IP screening technology. Through the application of linguistic analysis methods, we can discover regularities in text strings, and associate them with physiologically meaningful characteristics of the analyzed body of text. Ramp has the ability to analyze patents to discover meaning and patterns - looking for commonality behind words – what it means versus what is said. (This way we can look at different ways of saying the same thing; i.e. a cylinder with a cap on one end = cup, container.) The application then brings this data into a frame of reference that lets us quantify and qualify the results based on the nature of the patent data it interrogates.
This revolutionary technology provides insight, analysis, and important patent and business connections; i.e. who can gain or be harmed by a body of patents? Ramp can now gain unchartered insight by gleaning what patents and claims within those patents were granted versus what the applicant was seeking to secure and was denied by patent authorities. For example, the applicant may have been granted a patent, but wasn’t awarded critical elements already claimed and awarded to another entity. All of these factors (and more) allow Ramp to create a defensible rating for any patent. This rating is key to establishing a baseline whereby a monetary value can be established.
This IP Screening Technology allows Ramp and its partners to create a new IP based exchange whereby participating corporations can fill holes in their existing patent portfolio by licensing key intellectual property owned by other corporations, while monetizing their own patent portfolio through licensing portions of their portfolio to others.
Immediate application of the technology spans three specific and unique applications. These are:
1. The ability to determine the current value of a company’s IP portfolio.
2. The ability to forecast future value and technology needs of companies.
3. The ability to identify customers for emerging technologies.
4. The ability to provide insurance backed sales and licensing of intellectual property.
