Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Ipdefine is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Ipdefine addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
In-house IP team asked to evaluate whether a new product infringes competitor patents — evidence-of-use analysis requires manually comparing product features against hundreds of patent claims, which takes weeks of attorney time at $500/hour and still produces incomplete results
Corporate IP lead or investor gets asked which patents in a 200-asset portfolio are actually worth maintaining, licensing, or relying on in a financing or acquisition, but prosecution history alone does not answer business value and the team cannot connect claims to markets, products, or likely licensees without months of bespoke analysis.
IP M&A deal is moving this quarter and counsel needs to know whether a target portfolio contains valuable assets or validity landmines before the bid loses momentum. Sending key patents to a search firm means a 7-14 day wait, the diligence questions keep changing as the deal evolves, and by the time the results come back the client may already have overpaid or walked away blind.
