Solution Overview

Problem

Current patent valuation models are inadequate as they often have too many or too few parameters, leading to vague or narrow views, and are not fully completed, and they fail to match different purposes such as defensive, offensive, or independent uses, indicating that no single model is ideal for all circumstances.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize multiple patent valuation models, allowing users to select and modify models, and filter results, incorporating cognitive analysis and machine learning to provide advanced valuation and analysis through consolidation of models, and creation of new valuation models based on user preferences and industry insights.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single patent valuation model is used, then the valuation process is simple, but the valuation accuracy and applicability to different purposes deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation model complexityVSAvoidvaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the valuation process into multiple independent models, each designed for specific valuation purposes (defensive, offensive, independent). Each model segment focuses on particular parameters relevant to its purpose, avoiding the need for a single comprehensive model that would be overly complex yet still achieve high accuracy for each specific application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal valuation framework that can serve multiple functions through different models. Each valuation model is designed to be adaptable to different purposes while maintaining consistency in the overall system architecture, allowing the same platform to provide accurate valuations for licensing, litigation, portfolio management, and other applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Device complexity

If a single patent valuation model is used, then the model structure is simple, but the adaptability to different purposes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel structureVSAvoidadaptability to different purposes
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the valuation system into multiple purpose-specific models (defensive valuation model, offensive valuation model, independent valuation model). Each model is structured to handle specific valuation scenarios, enabling the system to adapt to different purposes without requiring a single overly complex universal model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects and applies appropriate valuation models based on the specific purpose of the valuation. The model structure remains relatively simple individually, but the system's ability to switch between different models provides the necessary adaptability for various applications such as licensing negotiations, litigation support, and portfolio assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If multiple patent valuation models are used, then the valuation accuracy and adaptability improve, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent organizes multiple valuation models into distinct segments, each with clearly defined parameters and purposes. This segmentation prevents the system from becoming a monolithic complex structure, as each model can be independently developed, validated, and maintained with focused parameters relevant to its specific valuation purpose.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer that manages the multiple valuation models. This intermediary handles the complexity of selecting, coordinating, and integrating results from multiple models, thereby improving valuation precision across different purposes while shielding the user from the underlying system complexity through a unified interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Device complexity

If a single patent valuation model is used, then the parameter list is manageable, but the comprehensiveness of valuation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter list managementVSAvoidvaluation comprehensiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the comprehensive set of valuation parameters across multiple models, with each model managing a focused subset of parameters relevant to its specific purpose. This segmentation makes parameter lists manageable within each model while collectively achieving comprehensive valuation coverage across all models, preventing information loss that would occur in a single-model approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
