Edition 2

After receiving a positive response to the first report, and driven by a vision for a greener planet, Sagacious IP has committed to an annual release of similar findings.

METHODOLOGY

Sagacious IP has been assisting its clients in determining strength and quality of large patent portfolios for many years. The Sagacious Patent Portfolio Quality Mix (SPPQM) methodology has been refined and strengthened over the years. On thousands of occasions, this methodology has been used by various mid and large size organizations in making strategic decisions such as portfolio pruning, benchmarking, licensing and/or acquisition etc. The SPPQM methodology offers flexibility to derive the outcome based on the nature of the project. For GREEN100™ Ranking, 15 distinct objective parameters have been considered to evaluate the patent portfolio’s quality. The methodology is also validated through focused deliberations with Industry experts particularly to define the scope of the research.

The process of Portfolio Quality Mix analysis involves following steps broadly:
