Inventing is one half.Knowing what it's worth is the other.

Innovation, business case, patent, deal — we assess every stage. One at a time, or end to end.

Due Diligence

Find the deal-killers before they get expensive.

A gate-based IP risk review from four perspectives: chain of title, validity, freedom to operate, and software, AI and open source. Seventeen hard checkpoints, each with a clear verdict — blocker, fix required, watch, clear, or needs data.

Three views on one data set: executive one-pager, red-flag report, remediation tracker
Every verdict carries its evidence, its source and its confidence — verified is kept apart from assumed

Innovation & Patent Analysis

From idea to decision paper.

Eleven sections, from investment thesis through market, business model and scenarios to value anchors, risk and valuation. The starting point is a description of the idea or a patent specification — before filing as much as after, tailored to corporates, investors or mid-sized companies.

Assessable before anything is filed — and defensible once it is granted
Register data from the EPO rather than model assumption alone
Confidence and provenance on the individual statement, not just on the report

How we work

Evidence, not assertion

Every assessment carries what it rests on: source, citation, confidence. Where the basis is missing, it says "needs data" — not a plausible guess. A finding you cannot trace back is worth nothing in a board room.

Scope stated in the document

Every export states what was reviewed and what was not, and as of when. A result is an assessment of one moment and one body of data, not a timeless truth. That belongs in the document, not in the small print.

A judgement, not legal advice

The result is a structured pre-review ahead of the expensive legal deep dive — not a substitute for it. Where a point turns hard or cannot be cured, the report says so and points to patent counsel.

Access through engagement

IP Value Lens is not a self-service tool. Analyses are produced on assignment: you name the idea, the portfolio or the target company — you receive the result as a document, not another login. A demo on your own case takes one email.
