Patent Management
Decipher™ simplifies your internal and external patent process-whether you're collaborating across the office or around the world-giving you the power to:
  • Profile competitor, partner or other third-party patents against your own IP portfolio segmentation
  • Distinguish between internally developed and externally acquired patents within the same portfolio
  • Import patent data directly from the USPTO and esp@cenet

Patent portfolio and process management

Decipher gives you a complete view of your portfolio by integrating data from multiple systems, databases, spreadsheets and other sources.

Use Decipher to streamline the patent management process, and generate alerts to ensure that key participants know about key deadlines.

Patent quantity

With web-based invention disclosure and the ability to track inventor incentive programs, Decipher paves the way for a steady stream of inventions to enter the patent process. Automated review and rating workflow help the most promising inventions advance quickly.

Patent quality

Decipher provides a secure central storehouse for inventions and patent drafting data. Its web interface makes collaboration easier for inventors, inside counsel, outside counsel and anyone else who participates in your patenting process, regardless of their location. And Decipher uses a document library and available integrated email system to preserve important documents and communication trails.

Cost management

Besides improving the efficiency of the patent process, Decipher offers tools to help you forecast, budget and measure expenses associated with the patenting process, making it easier to manage resources.

The active use of patents to pack entire technology spaces moves the competition from the "real" world of products to an earlier "virtual" battleground where patent holders decide if technological features will ever make it to the market.
