Patent portfolios frequently expand faster than internal teams can evaluate them. As maintenance fees and prosecution costs accumulate, legal departments must decide where to continue investing – often without historical knowledge about why any particular asset mattered when it was filed, or even when the patent issued. And then by the time pruning decisions are necessary, choices are required by those without a fulsome knowledge of business relevance, competitive activity, or potential licensing and enforcement value.

This webinar will present a practical framework for evaluating patent families based on legal status, projected maintenance costs, alignment with current business objectives, claim detectability, competitive overlap, and potential infringement signals. Attendees will learn how to build a repeatable and defensible portfolio-review process for determining which patents to maintain, monetize, or abandon – and where additional filings may be justified.

Join us on Tuesday, September 8, at 12 PM ET for a conversation moderated by IPWatchdog founder and patent attorney, Gene Quinn. Our panel will explore how AI-assisted analysis can help identify high-value assets, expose weak or duplicative coverage, and bring greater structure and better information to decisions that, in the end, still require an experienced human making a judgment call.
