Unlocking Business Intelligence Through Patent Data Analytics

Patent data is one of the most underutilized sources of business intelligence available to IP attorneys and business advisors. Beyond simply documenting inventions, publicly available patent information reveals where companies are quietly investing in R&D, how technologies are evolving across industries, and how competitors are positioning themselves for future market moves. Attorneys who know how to read this data can offer clients something far more valuable than legal protection: genuine strategic foresight. Patent activity can predict product launches before they happen, surface potential collaborators, and expose gaps in a competitor's portfolio that represent real opportunities. For clients navigating fast-moving industries, this kind of intelligence isn't a luxury but a competitive advantage.

Beyond competitive intelligence, patent analytics can also strengthen your clients' internal innovation culture by identifying their most prolific inventors, breaking down organizational silos, and helping leadership make smarter decisions about where to focus R&D resources. Whether your work centers on portfolio development, M&A due diligence, competitor analysis, or long-term innovation strategy, patent data analytics offers practical tools you can put to work for clients right away.

Learn how to leverage this data with Brenna Legaard, an accomplished first-chair trial attorney, patent lawyer, and intellectual property strategist with more than 20 years of experience advising technology companies on the protection, commercialization, and enforcement of their innovations. Her presentation called "Patent Data Analytics & Advising Clients" will show you how to find the data and use the data, making you an invaluable part of your client's team.
