Since joining forces in September 2020, ClearstoneIP and InQuartik‘s alliance has paved the way for enabling a better FTO process for patent professionals by integrating InQuartik’s Quality Insights—one of the six Patentcloud products that performs patent validity analysis and automatically aggregates prior art with various approaches—with Clearstone FTO—ClearstoneIP’s powerful FTO online service.
The integration has made it easier for ClearstoneIP users to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a patent with a summary count of its §102/103 prior art references along with InQuartik’s proprietary Patent Quality and Value Rankings right there in the Clearstone FTO platform. Furthermore, ClearstoneIP users can access all of Quality Insights’ functions by signing up for a Patentcloud account.
Within just four months, InQuartik received some great feedback from ClearstoneIP users, many of which mentioned that Claim Insights and Claim Analysis significantly helped them to clarify claim construction issues better; other users stated that Family Prior Art, Semantic Prior Art, and Prior Art Finder assisted them greatly in finding potential prior art references to better approach patent validity issues.
This positive feedback has encouraged us here at InQuartik to provide an even more streamlined FTO process. After carefully collecting and analyzing the feedback given to us, we found that clients from both platforms are eager to have a collaborative center that enables them to manage all of their patent-related processes in one place while keeping everyone on the same page—this is where Patent Vault steps in.
Therefore, we are delighted to announce a deeper integration where users can seamlessly work across the two platforms to enable a more streamlined process. Patentcloud’s Patent Vault will allow its users to access Clearstone FTO more efficiently, with just two easy steps to jump from Patent Vault to Clearstone FTO in a seamless manner. This deeper integration will help our clients and their teams manage their patent assets across different platforms better while combining the advantages of Patent Vault‘s collaboration with Clearstone FTO’s easy-to-use claim-by-claim analysis.
