Intellectual property, innovation and technology research

Intellectual Property (IP) is a significant driver of competitiveness and growth, in both the private and public sectors. In our current environment, where an invention can secure the viability of a company for several decades, or maintain strategic advantages on the world stage, it’s critical for public and private entities to have a clear view of the global IP landscape.

Moody’s can help you focus on the information that truly matters by aggregating patent and trademark datasets and providing tools to help you sort, visualize, value and analyze IP data based on your specific requirements.

How we help

With the volume of global patent data now available in extensive, disparate databases around the world, Moody’s can help you cut through the noise by providing you with a clearer view.

Analyze innovation and patent trends

Developing a perspective on current intellectual property (IP) trends will help you understand innovations made at home, and overseas, which can present opportunities for near-term greenfield and brownfield projects.

Benchmark against competitors

Comparing and tracking IP portfolios is important for understanding your competitors’ patent composition, brand footprint and associated value, which can help you identify future partnerships and reduce the risk of infringement.

Scan the technology horizon

Understanding trends and threats many years out will assist you in gaining insight into how innovations are developing over time, which can help you plan for future organic and inorganic investment.

Ensure interoperability of data

To reduce the time and expense of mapping IP data to entity and ownership information, it’s important to ensure information is linked to help you quickly build, refine, and filter searches based on criteria you’ve defined.
