Innography is a patent analysis software platform that is notable for the integration of business and legal data into its patent database, including Dun & Bradstreet financial information, and the PACER database of US litigation.[1] This integration allows Innography to make predictions about patent strength and value, and to predict the probable owners of unassigned patent applications.
More information about the Innography patent analysis product can be found at http://www.innography.com/.
In September of 2009, NASA announced that they were purchasing an Innography subscription to help them with their patent analysis needs. The announcement included the following explanation for why NASA chose the service:
NASA/GSFC intends to purchase this item from Innography, Inc. only. The software by Innography is the only patent analysis software as a service vendor that correlates patent data with company and litigation information to calculate relative patent strength in a specific technology area to support decisions on selecting and ranking patents for licensing or selling to generate income. Innography is the only patent analysis software as a service vendor that supports a non-keywork search method for generating a target licensee landscape for a specific technology area that can then be used to identify and prioritize specific licensing targets for patents in the NASA portfolio that have been identified as licensable patents.[2]
