With patent annuities sky rocketing into the billions of dollars over the next few years, Unified has developed the world's first tool set to objectively help in deciding what to continue paying annuities on. Unified algorithms calculated 70 million unique patent families based on their Patent Value (PVIX) and an indexed score of their future lifetime cost (SVIX). Combining these two items together makes RNIX, the world's first tool which provides portfolios managers an objective and easy way to quickly ascertain which families are likely to provide the highest value at the lowest cost (and vice versa).

Combined with tools to evaluate patent broadness (BRIX) and validity (APIX), Unified provides the first comprehensive and completely objective set of tools based on academic rigor to help patent portfolio managers effectively evaluate and prioritize.
