Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our intuitive interface, expert-authored summaries and visual dashboards make it easy for both IP and non-IP professionals.
You’ll have access to onboarding, training and expert support from Clarivate’s IP specialists.
Innography helps you turn patent data into insights so you can:
- Ensure your portfolio aligns to your business strategy
- Uncover opportunities for R&D or investment
- Benchmark your portfolio and focus areas with those of your competitors
- Determine what patent annuities to renew
- Make informed licensing decisions
- Identify and defend against potential litigation risks from NPEs or new entrants to your space
And so much more.
Yes. Innography includes a proprietary PatentStrength metric that uses citation analysis, litigation history, geographic coverage, and other proprietary indicators to provide a standardized score for patent evaluation. Innography also offers the ability for clients to create their own Custom Strength index that can be calculated and used for analysis for every patent.
Yes. Innography includes aggregated litigation information from U.S. courts, international jurisdictions, and more so users can track litigation activity of competitors and make informed decisions about licensing, acquisition and enforcement.
Innography offers descriptive titles and abstracts for 66m+ inventions written by 850+ subject matter experts from the Derwent World Patent Index (DWPI), the world’s most comprehensive database of enhanced patent records.
Plus, with normalized, corrected patent data from 105 jurisdictions, firmographic data from over 1.6 million companies, correlated patent litigation data from 140 jurisdictions, and over 253 million public PAIR (Patent Application Information Retrieval) file wrapper documents, Innography has a wealth of data that users can analyze with over 100 dynamic, customizable visualization options.
AI Classifier for portfolio benchmarking uses AI technologies—such as machine learning and large language models (LLMs)—to help you categorize patents on a large and repeatable scale. It enables you to use a customized lens through which you can view your own portfolio or that of a competitor so you can study complex patent landscapes across technologies, organizations and industries—all on your own terms.
And with the analytical power of Innography, you can visualize these classifications through easy-to-understand charts and graphs tailored to your specifications.
Innography’s AI Classifier is built to avoid the risks of AI hallucinations by grounding every classification in real, structured patent data—not generative text. Unlike general-purpose AI tools that generate content from scratch, our classifier uses a combination of supervised machine learning and large language models to categorize patents based on your training data, your taxonomy, and real patent content.
Here’s how we ensure accuracy and trust:
- Powered by DWPI: Classifications are based on Derwent World Patents Index, the industry’s most trusted source of expert-curated patent data.
- Explainable AI (in development): We’re building transparency into the system so you can see why a patent was classified a certain way.
- No generative output: The classifier doesn’t invent or summarize; it assigns categories based on structured inputs and real patent metadata.
- Secure and siloed: Your data is never used to train general models, and your classifiers are private to your organization.
The result? A classification system that’s fast, flexible and grounded in reality, not speculation.
According to one of our customers (a leading global tech organization), Innography AI Classifier for Portfolio Benchmarking generated results that were 4% more accurate than our leading competitor.
Very fast. When classifying the Qubit dataset (deemed to be the gold standard per this ScienceDirect case study), AI Classifier categorized over 2,500 patents in less than 18 minutes—with over 98% accuracy.
Yes. Your training data, taxonomies and classification outputs are siloed and never shared with other customers, OpenAI, or Microsoft.
Yes. AI Classifier is included at no additional cost for all Innography users during the beta period.
Most SEP data is static and difficult to analyze. SEP Analyzer gives you structured, normalized data — cleaned and tagged by in-house experts — so you can filter, visualize and benchmark SEP portfolios in seconds.
Yes. SEP Analyzer helps you understand ownership structures across entire technology stacks, identify key players and export visual reports — giving you a clearer position in FRAND rate discussions and cross-licensing deals.
