Patent portfolio decision support
Know which patents to keep, review, prune, or monetize before the next fee decision.
IP Brainbox helps IP owners turn U.S. patent data into valuation, maintenance-fee, pruning, and licensing-readiness decisions, with explainable reports legal, finance, and strategy teams can review.
Decision support only. Not legal advice, formal appraisal, or a substitute for counsel.
The easiest way to start
Expert Portfolio Review
Send us up to 10 U.S. patents. We return a decision-ready portfolio report with PSRP valuation, MFA maintenance recommendations, claim-breadth indicators, evidence gaps, licensing flags, and a 30-minute findings call. AI-assisted analysis reviewed by IP Brainbox before delivery. Fixed fee: $995. Delivered in 5 business days.
Decision-support report only; not a legal opinion or formal appraisal.
Patent portfolios are expensive to maintain and hard to defend financially
Maintenance fees accumulate. Budgets tighten. Teams inherit portfolios through M&A or program changes. The hard part is not finding the deadline; it is justifying the spend. Too often, renew-or-abandon decisions rely on spreadsheets, subjective impressions, or last-minute fee deadlines instead of structured valuation and claim-level context.
How IP Brainbox helps
PSRP valuation, MFA maintenance recommendations, claim-breadth indicators, and portfolio triage in one workflow, with scenarios, licensing flags, and exportable reports.

Built for
Corporate IP, tech transfer, startups, and outside counsel who need defensible portfolio decisions, not another docketing workflow.
Not another docketing system. A patent decision layer.
IP Brainbox is not designed to replace enterprise IP management platforms that handle docketing, filings, deadlines, and prosecution workflows. It helps IP owners make economic decisions across U.S. patent portfolios: valuation, maintenance-fee review, pruning, licensing readiness, and internal reporting.
| Topic | Enterprise IP management systems | IP Brainbox |
|---|---|---|
| Primary role | Manage filings, deadlines, documents, and prosecution workflows | Support valuation, maintenance-fee review, pruning, and monetization decisions |
| System of record | Operate as the IP management system of record | Operate as a decision-support layer on top of your portfolio data |
| Focus | Legal workflow and docketing discipline | Economic and portfolio decisions (PSRP, MFA, triage, scenarios) |
| Getting started | Often requires enterprise implementation and IT alignment | Starts with patent search, CSV import, or a scoped 10-patent portfolio review |
Unlike patent workflow AI tools
Many AI patent tools help teams draft applications, summarize office actions, or search prior art. IP Brainbox focuses on a different question: What are your patents worth, which ones deserve continued investment, and which assets should be reviewed for licensing, sale, abandonment, or strategic use?

Use prosecution-oriented AI where it fits your practice. Use IP Brainbox when the decision is economic and portfolio-wide: maintenance, value, triage, and monetization readiness.
