Patent Analytics Services

Data-driven patent intelligence to guide your R&D decisions, product launches, and IP strategy. Landscape analysis, FTO searches, and competitor monitoring.

What Is Patent Analytics?

Patent analytics is the systematic collection, processing, and analysis of patent data to generate actionable business and technical intelligence. By mining millions of patent documents from databases across the globe, patent analytics helps organisations understand the IP landscape in their technology domain, identify white spaces for innovation, and make informed decisions about product development, licensing, and litigation risk.

At Company360, our team of qualified patent analysts and attorneys combines domain expertise with industry-standard tools — Derwent Innovation, Orbit Intelligence, PatSnap, and Espacenet — to deliver reports that are technically rigorous and commercially relevant.

Types of Patent Analysis We Offer

Patent Landscape Analysis

A comprehensive mapping of all patents in a given technology area. Identifies key players, active jurisdictions, filing trends over time, technology clusters, and white spaces for innovation. Essential for R&D strategy and portfolio planning.

Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) Search

Determines whether your product or process can be commercialised without infringing valid, in-force patents in a target market. Covers claim-level analysis of potentially blocking patents and provides a legal opinion on risk exposure.

Patentability / Prior Art Search

A deep search of patent and non-patent literature to assess whether an invention is novel and inventive. Provides the foundation for a well-drafted patent application and reduces risk of rejection during examination.

Competitor Patent Monitoring

Tracks the patent filings, grants, and publications of specific competitors on a periodic basis. Delivers alerts and periodic intelligence reports to keep your team informed of competitor IP moves in real time.

Technology Gap Analysis

Identifies technology areas within a domain that remain unprotected by existing patents — your potential blue-ocean opportunities for innovation and first-mover patent protection.

Patent Valuation & Due Diligence

Assesses the strength, breadth, and commercial value of a patent portfolio for M&A transactions, licensing negotiations, funding rounds, or litigation strategy.

Who Needs Patent Analytics?

R&D Teams

Before committing research budgets, know what has already been patented. Avoid reinventing the wheel and focus resources on areas where your invention can be protected.

Product Managers

FTO searches are essential before product launch. Understanding what patents exist in your technology space prevents costly post-launch infringement disputes.

IP Counsels & Patent Attorneys

Detailed prior art search and landscape reports support prosecution strategy, opposition proceedings, and portfolio management decisions.

Investors & VCs

Patent portfolio strength is a critical indicator of competitive moat. Due diligence analytics inform investment decisions and post-investment strategy.

Corporates Entering New Markets

Before entering a new geography, an FTO and landscape study identifies blocking patents held by local players and helps structure licensing or design-around strategies.

Universities & Research Institutions

Technology transfer offices use landscape analysis to identify the commercial potential of academic inventions and find industry partners for licensing.
