IPlytics is an intellectual property analytics platform under LexisNexis, primarily focused on the fields of standard essential patents (SEP) and technical standards. Its purpose is to help patent professionals, licensing negotiators, and intellectual property lawyers analyze the SEP landscape, assess patent essentiality, and support business decisions.
Main capabilities include: providing ownership information for declared patents in global standards; analyzing companies' contribution investments in standard setting; understanding patent technology market disputes through litigation cases; providing a Semantic Essentiality Score, which semantically maps independent claims to standard sections and gives an essentiality score from 1 to 100; identifying, through the Ultimate Owner concept, the control relationships of parent companies over patents held by subsidiaries, joint ventures, and affiliates; covering declared and undeclared SEP mappings in technical fields such as 2G to 5G, Wi-Fi, video codecs (HEVC/VVC), audio codecs, DRAM, and Qi wireless charging.
