OPAL, world's most comprehensive SEP landscape tool introduces VENN to automatically show licensor overlap
Unified Portal’s OPAL (Objective PAtent Landscape) report was designed to address asymmetries in the licensing of standard essential patents and to create a more fair and transparent patent licensing process around core patents supporting next waves of consumer technology growth. Portal’s OPAL recently launched its Advanced Analytics for IEEE, Video Codecs, and 3GPP. Users can understand if a given area contains certain contributors or patent pools. In addition, it allows for an advance breakdown between the positive and negative training labels.
For example, the graph below looks at Sisvel WiFi 6 Members that account for 155 of the positive labels (Blue Circle) and 251 of the Negative Labels (Orange Circle). This is the first tool to demonstrate the overlap between licensors, pools and standards.
In another example below, the same can be said of IEEE contributors with 884 positive labels and 2,139 negative labels.
For 3GPP, users can understand the relationship between the various generations of cellular technology.
For Video Codec, Portal users can select between the numerous pools and understand the various breakdowns in relationship to the entire video codec universe.
Unified's OPAL report is a one-of-a-kind patent landscaping tool that leverages advanced machine-learning techniques to create a flexible solution for negotiating and licensing Standard Essential Patents (SEPs). A free trial version is available through Unified's Portal. For more information, view our Methodology or email us at info@unifiedpatents.com.
