Bucketing & Ranking
About The Service
Companies with extensive patent portfolios often struggle with managing the sheer volume of patents, making effective IP portfolio management crucial. At Aksh IP Associates, we address this challenge through our Bucketing & Ranking service, which helps organizations systematically categorize and evaluate their patents.
Our approach involves a two-step process: First, we prepare a comprehensive taxonomy to organize patents into relevant technology segments. Next, we conduct an in-depth analysis to further classify the patents into detailed sub-categories and rank them based on their strategic importance and potential value. This structured method ensures that your patent portfolio is effectively managed, allowing you to fully leverage and optimize the value of your IP assets.
