To ensure the success of an acquisition, the patent portfolios of the acquisition targets must be assessed for potential values, risks, and their technological fit. The Patent Asset Index™ helps in assessing patent quality and reveals the true strength of the players in technology fields, enabling decision-makers to identify the key patents that require your explicit attention. Avoid having to read all patents and save remarkable amounts of time by finding answers to important questions:

• Are the targets particularly dependent on other competitors?
• Would this expose you to potential litigation?
• Do targets have patent that are highly influential in their industries?
• Are the technologies of interest to certain competitors?

Answering these questions can highlight critical patent issues. Assessing the technological fit may yield additional gains from an acquisition, well beyond what can be found on balance sheets. With PatentSight Analytics Platform, you are just a few clicks away from answers to these and many other relevant questions.
