Taipei, TW/Palo Alto, CA | September 25, 2020 — InQuartik Corporation, a global leader in providing patent analytics and solutions backed by timely and complete patent data, announced today with ClearstoneIP, a centralized freedom-to-operate workflow management platform, that it has signed a cooperative agreement to form a new and exciting alliance to provide in-depth patent validity analysis for Freedom to Operate (FTO).
Patentcloud’s Quality Insights will be integrated into the Clearstone FTO management platform to provide users with instant access to patent quality analysis — streamlining the patent clearance process.
For years, Clearstone FTO has been a trustworthy and intuitive web platform, purpose-built for patent clearance and FTO processes. With Quality Insights’ comprehensive patent validity reports, users will be able to make informed FTO decisions and build strategies by efficiently evaluating a patent’s strength.
“With the foundational workflow processes in place in Clearstone FTO, we sought opportunities to add value to our customers’ patent clearance reviews by partnering with analytics providers. Y.P. Jou and InQuartik’s Quality Insights platform stood out and impressed us immediately with carefully-thought-out capabilities that demonstrate their deep wealth of industry experience.”
— Gabe Sukman, CEO and Co-Founder, ClearstoneIP
Clearstone FTO users may activate a 7-day free trial that includes 100 free Quality Insights reports by signing into Patentcloud using their Clearstone FTO account. The integration will allow Clearstone FTO users to:
- Browse a timeline of the prosecution and post-grant proceedings history;
- Map the claim terms to the patent’s specification to identify potential § 112 issues;
- Map the claim terms to the patent’s prosecution history to identify narrowing amendments, plus any § 102 and § 103 issues;
- Identify potential prior art using proprietary analytics features, including the prior art of family members, the prior art of cited references by examiner or petitioner, and AI-powered semantic prior art across the IP5 and WIPO;
- Generate a claim chart by using the one-click claim chart feature — Prior Art Analytics;
- Search through office actions and post-grant proceedings documents.
“Nowadays, companies can easily sell and ship their products to every corner of the world. As e-commerce is becoming more and more important in the post-pandemic era, these companies now face greater risks related to FTO. By forming this alliance with Clearstone FTO, we believe that its users will benefit from this integrated analytics platform and reduce the risk of patent infringement.”
— Y.P. Jou, Founder and CEO of InQuartik
