During the early stages of the licensing process, utilizing patent mining analytics can help you quickly zero in on patents or companies for further opportunity assessment. Whether you are a licensing consultant or a corporate licensing specialist, Metrics can help you:

1. Bucketize your company’s or your client’s patent portfolio
2. Identify competitors to target for enforcement licensing
3. Identify unusual application areas (non-core to your or your client’s strategic focus) in which technology transfer opportunities might be available
4. Identify ex-inventors who previously worked for you or your client’s company who are now working for competitors (you may want to investigate these competitors in a patent enforcement context)
5. Identify bundles of patents that are similar in nature and might make good licensing packages
