FOR INVESTORS & ACQUIRERS

Before investors, buyers, or lenders rely on an innovation story, we test whether the IP actually supports it.

Most patent pitches are confidence theater. The broker wants the sale. The assertion shop takes a cut. Even an honest analyst hired to find infringement will find it, because that’s what they were hired to look for. We are not structured that way. The report has no reason to inflate, and when it says a portfolio is thin, that finding holds up. Before the term sheet hardens, know whether the IP story holds.

Inventiply reports are decision-support analysis, not legal advice or legal opinions. Formal legal work is performed by DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel.

WHAT WE TELL YOU

Five questions that decide whether IP supports a valuation

An Inventiply diligence report answers the questions that decide whether IP supports a valuation:

Are the rights alive, cleanly recorded, and in force where the market actually is?
Is the core commercial claim defensible, or does it rest on a proof gap a challenger would find?
Who appears to be practicing the technology, and what would enforcement or licensing realistically yield?
What is the asset worth by route — sale, license, enforcement, or defensive hold?
If the portfolio is not yet investable, what improvement, co-invention, or additional protection would make it so?

ASSURANCE, NOT CHEERLEADING

Assurance, not cheerleading

We are most useful when we are willing to say no. A report that tells you an asset is thinner than the pitch suggested can save a round or a purchase price. When the asset is strong, the same rigor becomes the evidence base your investment committee or acquirer will trust. Either way, you get a read you can defend. If you’ve been handed a patent score before, see how a score compares to a file. →

The single most important fact in the report cuts against the biggest number.

THE EVIDENCE ASYMMETRYFROM OUR PUBLIC SAMPLE

“The public record clearly shows the visible parts of the single-device ‘recognize the person, then personalize’ behaviors that dominate today’s products, but shows little for the original automatic room-to-room hand-off… coverage that can be shown to be in use is worth more than broad-but-unproven coverage.”

That one paragraph tells the owner where the bankable value sits, which patents carry upside that depends on better evidence, and why an aggressive ceiling figure should be read with both hands on the table.

IF THE IP IS NOT READY YET

If the IP is not ready yet

Sometimes the right answer is “not yet — here is what would change it.” We can identify the specific broadening, co-invention, or additional filings that would move a portfolio from speculative to defensible, and the order in which to pursue them. For a portfolio company you already back, that becomes a value-creation plan; for a target, it becomes a condition on the deal.

WHICH REPORTS INVESTORS USE

Which reports investors use

Investors and acquirers usually enter at Tier 3 or above. Tier 3 (Value, Enforcement, and Diligence Preview) is the standard investor-usable report. Tier 4 (Diligence and Decision Review) supports the go or no-go. Tier 6 — the Master Monetization File — support an acquisition, a fund’s value-creation plan, or an enforcement-backed thesis. Pricing is on the Report Tiers page; upper tiers are scoped to the portfolio.

The claim chart: every element, cited to a public source.

A claim chart puts each requirement of the claim next to the public evidence that a product does it. Three rows from one chart — the full report charts ten products this way.
