Identify a sub-group of patents from a larger portfolio that may be of interest to a specific target company
Example – One of our clients (a big multinational company) wanted to buy patents (~10) from a big portfolio (~1500) that targeted company X. We used BOS to identify patents-on-sale that had been used to provide rejections to patent applications filed by Company X. In this way, we were able to get a prioritised list of patents-on-sale from that big set to be analysed in detail.
