World Patent Information, 2004, vol. 26, issue 2, 143-148

Abstract: The need for companies to make better and wider use of their patent portfolio as part of their overall business strategy is acknowledged. The article describes an initiative from the Danish Patent and Trademark Office to address this issue by creating a software tool, IPscore®, and outlines the type of input (e.g. legal status, technology factors, financial and market information), output (e.g. patent profile, strategic profile, financial forecast, patent portfolio position), and final report options provided by this tool.
