LexisNexis expands its Intellectual Property Solutions suite with the acquisition of IPlytics
The acquisition further strengthens LexisNexis intellectual property data and analytics capabilities
NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Legal & Professional, part of RELX, today announced that it has acquired IPlytics, a leading IP intelligence company that enables the analysis of technology landscapes and competition for industries where standards and patents matter by providing access to multiple databases connecting patents, Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), standards, and technical standards contributions. The acquisition extends the vision of LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions to bring clarity to innovation and help companies worldwide to be more effective at bringing meaningful innovations into the world.
IPlytics has developed software providing analysis into the past, present, and future of standards-essential technology with fast, intuitive access to SEPs, standards contributions, and standards documents. The IPlytics Platform enables users to align SEP patent portfolio strategy and continuous portfolio development as it relates to SEP assets, to understand the SEP competitive landscape, and to support initiatives such as licensing, acquisitions, due diligence, and analysis of whether to join patent pools. The Berlin-founded company has also developed algorithms to predict the essentiality of patent claims and standards sections and a patent portfolio's value for standardized technologies.
"We are delighted to welcome the IPlytics team to LexisNexis," said LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions President Andrew Matuch. "IPlytics is seen as the gold standard for Standard Essential Patents and standard contributions in the IP community. The combination of LexisNexis and IPlytics will bring high quality, business-critical standards-related insights to our customers worldwide that support better decision-making."
After the acquisition, IPlytics platform will become part of the LexisNexis Intellectual Property workflow and analytics solutions portfolio. Selected IPlytics data will also become available within LexisNexis® PatentSight®, the LexisNexis flagship IP Analytics Solution, enabling companies to answer critical questions related to essential assets, patent pool initiatives, standards development, or simply tracking their competition.
"It is with great enthusiasm that we join forces with LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions," said Tim Pohlmann, Founder and CEO of IPlytics. "When we began discussions with LexisNexis, we immediately saw the huge potential to jointly drive innovation. At our core, we want to transform the future of market intelligence through better data and analytics and radically change how companies interact with business-critical information. This collaboration allows us to realize this vision."
