About IPwe

Our Clarivate Partnership

Clarivate (CLVT) is a global leader in providing trusted insights and analytics, backed by their curated patent database, the largest in the world.

Clarivate and IPwe announced a strategic partnership in November 2022 to enable customers to accelerate innovation by accessing uniquely curated patent data from Clarivate within IPwe’s Smart Intangible Asset Management (SIAM).

In May 2023, Clarivate and IPwe jointly announced the integration of SIAM into IPfolio, Clarivate’s flagship IP lifecycle management solution, representing the first phase of this long-term partnership to lead the next generation of IP management with financial and business insights.

Our Technology Stack

Blockchain

Since 2018, IPwe has been at the forefront of developing blockchain solutions for IP strategy, collaborating with leading blockchain providers such as IBM, Hyperledger, and CasperLabs.

Our cutting-edge IP strategy solution, Smart Intangible Asset Management, utilizes dynamic patent NFTs and our proprietary AI algorithm to consolidate IP data and generate data-driven metrics, including valuations, ratings, and benchmarks for every patent. SIAM provides IP owners with valuable insights into market trends, enabling them to make informed decisions about their IP portfolios.

Artificial Intelligence

Our AI technology has been continuously developed for over 15 years, uses Clarivate’s world class IP data sets, and is responsible for generating over $500 million in licensing revenue and over $2 billion in patent funding since its inception.

Smart Intangible Asset Management uses an open-source algorithm and income-based valuation approach, with financial data sourced directly from FactSet.

Proprietary Data

What sets Smart Intangible Asset Management solution apart, in addition to having unique API access to Clarivate’s patent database, and data sourced directly from multiple other trusted providers such as IFI Claims and FactSet, is that IPwe has also been collecting its own patent data since 2007. This wealth of data allows us to offer advanced financial valuations and business insights for IP that are unmatched by our competition.
