Complex markets. Clearly analyzed.
Know what your technology is worth — so you negotiate, license and sell with more confidence.
Annual aggregated sales, USD. Solid = actual, dashed = forecast.
Without a defensible number, you negotiate blind.
Classic appraisals take months.
By the time the valuation lands, the market has moved. Opportunities expire while you wait.
The data sits scattered.
Patents, financials, market figures and deals live in separate sources. No one brings them together.
Gut feeling holds up to no scrutiny.
In front of investors, buyers and the board, only what you can prove counts.
From request to decision in three steps.
You tell us your technology field or your patent portfolio. That's all the input it takes.
Patent, financial and market data are linked and valued across two independent methods.
You receive an interactive dashboard and a branded PDF report. Ready to use, with no rework.
Defensible results from independent data sources.
None of the five data sources answers the value question alone. Linked together they form a picture that two independent calculation paths confirm.
Patent data, company financials, market and sector data, deals and investments and researched context link into one picture at company level. Two independent paths — one from the market, one from the portfolio — derive a value from it, and converge on the same range.
Six perspectives. One verdict.
Every Market Insights Report answers the questions that deals fail on.
The whole market on one page.
Market size, patent landscape and R&D intensity as an executive summary. After five minutes you know where you stand.
See where the market is heading.
Revenue, growth and forecast per technology sector, plus the innovation matrix: patent growth against revenue growth, directly comparable.
Know every player before you talk to them.
Financials, growth, R&D and patent strength of every relevant company, distilled into the mar:val Score. Compare profiles side by side.
Your most likely buyers. By name.
A ranking of concrete companies with match score and contacts. Instead of months of searching, you start with a ready shortlist.
Know what every patent is worth.
Portfolio value by company, country and technology cluster, plus your market's lifecycle curve. Run scenarios right in the dashboard.
See where the money flows.
Acquisitions, stakes and funding rounds per company, with sources. Plus a fair-value estimate of listed players.
One tool, six situations.
Find your situation. Each one leads to the numbers that actually count there — and to the arguments you can make with them.
You own the patent. You don't know what it's worth or who would pay for it.
- Buyers ranked by measured fit, not by gut feeling.
- Six score components — plus how sure the model is.
- Contacts with a name and a role.
A radar across the six components of the match score shows the profile of the selected candidate buyer. Beside it a ranking of four candidates with their match score, plus the confidence rating and the strongest piece of evidence.
You're about to put money in. The pitch deck is not evidence.
- A 0–100 ranking plus insolvency risk by Altman and Zmijewski.
- Fair value on five bases — the spread is the answer.
- Funding and acquisition history, with sources.
A share price across 24 periods, behind it a fair-value line with valuation bands from ten to forty per cent. The line and the over- or undervaluation verdict change with the chosen valuation basis.
Renewal fees are due. Which families earn their keep?
- Three valuation approaches — you see the spread yourself.
- Fees from real fee schedules, not a flat assumption.
- Scenarios that never touch the real data.
The total value of a portfolio of 412 patent families, the number of families that come out at zero, and a histogram of the value distribution. All three change with the chosen valuation approach and with the deduction of official fees.
Is this field still worth entering, and who already owns it?
- A lifecycle curve instead of a growth promise.
- Revenue by country, with the growth multiple per country.
- Academic filers reported separately from industry.
A curve of patent applications against the number of distinct applicants, one dot per year from 2012 to 2026. The slider picks a year; filings, applicant count and lifecycle phase are reported for it.
You're about to launch. Whose patent are you standing on?
- Every claim mapped onto your product features.
- An unverified legal status never yields "low risk".
- A design-around for every high and medium finding.
A list of four patent holders that could block the product under review, ordered high, medium, not rated, low, each with its earliest relevant expiry. For the selected holder the claim element chart of the decisive claim is shown: per limitation the product features involved and whether the product practises it, plus the classification, the deal action and the design-around.
You've researched something new. Who brings it to market with you?
- Each invention valued in its market, with the revenue a partner would need.
- Partners ranked by measured fit, with evidence per candidate.
- Decision-makers at the partner, by name and role.
A list of six patented inventions of one research institute, sortable by value, remaining term or coverage. For the selected invention the top-down value, the annual revenue a partner would need, the remaining term, the jurisdictions covered and the best-placed partner from matchmaking are shown.
