Multi-Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Patent Litigation
For a patent owner seeking to enforce one— or many— patents, understanding the web of jurisdictions available to them can be difficult. While all jurisdictions offer a variety of opportunities and advantages, none is ideal. In order to make a strong strategic decision, it is imperative that patent owners understand the balance between risks and benefits for each jurisdiction.
Understanding trends in gaming with more than just patents
The development of a new service or product leaves a tell-tale trail in international IP registries for others to track—from the traditional ramp in patent protection in underlying technology, to the registration of word marks and logos, to the Internet domain set up of brands.
In this session, we discuss the changing nature of gaming, the extension of traditional patent analysis for technology intelligence into other IP asset types, such as trademarks and domains, and the profiling of companies and their development pathways.

Strategies to control costs and generate revenue from your patents - September 2020
In just a few short months, COVID-19 swept through the world. In a recent study* conducted by Derwent, almost half of senior decision makers (49%) said COVID-19 has disrupted their innovation strategy.
Organizations have experienced disruption to their innovation strategy and activity, and patent research but their commitment to innovation is unwavering. Close to a quarter (23%) of 247 companies surveyed noted more of their innovations being re-purposed in markets beyond their primary industry. In such times, companies are opting to save costs by discontinuing renewals for patents which are weak or not in line with their core business. At the same time, companies are also focussed on identifying patents which are valuable for either selling or out-licensing.
In this webinar, we will cover the following topics:
– Strategic patent analysis: Outline process to identify patents that are important for core business
– Patent monetisation: Understand best practice to identify patents that are a good potential for selling or licensing-out
– Identifying potential partners: How to identify potential partners or licensees
– Case studies: Understand how Derwent is helping organizations globally in their patent evaluation process
– Interview: A special interview with the team at Zacco, one of Europe’s largest Intellectual Property protection firms, for insights on patent evaluation and cost management

Counting Patents is Easy, Metrics are More Difficult
As we all try to adapt to a “new normal”, many of the more innovative organizations are turning to patent analysis to help prepare for the future. However, one of the pitfalls of such analysis is that measuring patent volumes only tells half the story. Whether you are looking at a competitor or even your own portfolio, not all ideas in a technical field carry the same weight. Some are highly impactful; some are interesting but speculative; some are core to your strategy; others are key to a competitor’s business.
In this webinar, we discussed the approaches, data points and use cases for incorporating patent ‘meta-metrics’ in your work.
Topics covered:
- What types of metrics are available, and the different approaches taken by experts
- The applications for a Patent Strength Index
- Shaping your prosecution strategy, by benchmarking your position and tracking changes in your industry
- Understanding where the strength in your portfolio really lies, and where filings are no longer required
- Informing your research and innovation programs on areas of technical emergence and disruption
- The Derwent Strength Index and how we approach ranking, modelling and scoring of inventions and patented ideas

For example, the combination of unique CDR sequences that allow an antibody to specifically recognize Covid-19 is critical in the development of diagnostic testing and vaccine research.
Competitive Differentiation Through Big Data Analytics webinar recording
At the beginning of 2020, no one could have predicted the massive disruption to the U.S. national and global economy to come and that would persist throughout the year.
For companies to recalibrate, grow and thrive amidst these new economic realities that could have long-lasting impacts, competitive differentiation is critical— perhaps now more than ever.
The ability of big data and analytics to boost competitive differentiation and help organizations stay ahead of change has helped forward-thinking corporations for years and will guide those corporations through these tough times. Despite the power of big data and the analytic overlays increasingly available many still resist for a variety of reasons, particularly amongst IP professionals. These tumultuous times now require all corporations to catapult these tools to the top of the corporate agenda.
