Power of The Cloud What is “The Cloud”? “Cloud compu2ng is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-­‐demand access to a shared pool of configurable compu2ng resources” (NIST, 2014) The Cloud in patents? One of the few fields that has not changed. Patent searching is s2ll done in a very tradi2onal way! Quantum leap can be predicted. Image Credit: Cloudshepherd pred
Seman2c Search in Networked Clouds will Increase Patent Quality The world is geUng more and more digi2zed •  Patents •  Publica2ons •  Disserta2ons •  Transla2ons •  OCR Almost everything is digi2zed going forward and BACK! Image Credit: Summer Blount pred
Predic2ve Analy2cs for Patents •  A predic2on of quality by seman2c searching •  Reducing significant backlogs of pendency •  In cases such as Brazil the pendency is longer than 7 years •  Protec2ng only patentable ma\er reducing significant cost of paten2ng •  Improving quality of patents overall pred

What is Innova2on? An innova2on according to Marshall McLuhan (Univ. of Toronto – predicted the WWW 30 years before it was created) ... •  Enhances something: Think about how Google was a late entrant into the search biz but lapped the field with its simple approach •  Eliminates something: Think about how Charles Schwab eliminated the need for stock brokers by connec2ng the back office of the trading house directly to the customer •  Returns Us to Something in Our Past: Think about how the desire to have home cooked family meals has lead to the prolifera2on of underground dining and slow food restaurants •  Over Time Reverses into Its Opposite: Think about how e-­‐
mail was going to set us all free but instead enslaved us with its ubiquitous and overwhelming demands Inc. Magazine pred

The world’s first Predic2ve Plaqorm for Patent Claim Validity This proprietary plaqorm is the only plaqorm capable of reviewing every element of every claim in a patent to determine if there is poten2al invalida2ng §102 and/or §103 prior art By seman2cally searching each claim element, the plaqorm is capable of iden2fying the best poten2ally invalida2ng prior art that is then subject to expert and patent a\orney review Meet the Patent “Friends” Myriad, Bilski, Alice and Prometheus pred

Efficiencies in Patent Markets •  Con2nual increase in patent quality through new mechanisms like Inter Partes Review, Post Grant Review and Covered Business Method Patents •  Cases like Alice vs. CLS Bank and Bilski have slowed down the frivolous sosware patents and business method patents •  Public scru2ny of pharmaceu2cal patents through IPR will make patents be\er as well pred
Market Dynamics •  Sharp decline in patent asser2on en2ty (PAE) based li2ga2on •  Con2nual decline in market acquisi2on of patents •  Efficient ways of dealing with Non-­‐ Prac2cing en22es (NPEs) such as IPR •  Price per patent is coming down since Nortel porqolio transac2on ($750K / patent) •  More strategic buyers in the market RPX PAE Report 2014 pred
