When technologies collide: predicting litigation risk using patent transactions

While patent data is widely acknowledged to be a valuable source for evaluating technology trends, it’s value for competitive intelligence purposes is in many ways underappreciated. By understanding the relationships between technology convergence, patent transactions, and patent litigation, you’ll be able to better assess your risk, improve your protection and anticipate your competitors’ next moves with greater confidence.

In this webinar, we used an example from the medical devices to show you how patent data can be used.

This webinar covers:

• Evaluate the level of patent sales activity in your industry, and what that could tell you about future litigation risk
• Assess the difference in patent litigation outcomes between “core” and “converging” technologies, and what that might mean for your defensive strategy
• Understand what companies are most active in your industry – core competitors, emerging players, and/or non-patenting entities (NPEs)
• See how activity varies by region or jurisdiction for your primary markets of interest
