IP Profiles Data Sample

Contained in this file is a sample of IFI’s newest data offering: IP Profiles. Each file tab will show and explain the step

1. “Raw Data” tab: example of raw IP Profiles data for various companies.
2. “Sample Code” tab: a code written to pull an IP Profile of a company, Fisker as an example, from the IP Profile
3. “Automotive” tab: a high-level analysis of the automotive industry using the IP Profiles data contained within

The data in this sample file correlates to the IP Profiles Industry Use Case which can be located on IFI’s website here

Right away the high number of forward citations for Lucid group jumps out, it shows a high level of interest in what they are doing by others. Lucid has fil
Rivian, but the citations number is much higher, which signals a high level of industry interest in the work of Luicd compared to Rivian. Also of note is tha
meaning they do not have a significant pipeline for future developments. As an additional data point, Honda has many subsidiaries which is likely due to
parent level, in the middle Tesla has 22 subsidiaries and Ford has 29, the other newer companies have far fewer than Tesla. This quantity of subsidiaries b
review the affect on the strength/weakness of Tesla.

Looking only at the newer entrants using the row of charts below it is interesting that Rivian has far more future
developments (i.e. pending families) in the pipeline compared to Tesla or Lucid group. Fisker is either too new to the
market and to patent filing to keep up or they are falling behind if they are of a comparable age to Rivian and Lucid. Hence
it would take additional market research before making investments/judgements on Fisker. Rivian and Lucid have
comparable amounts of active patent families, yet Lucid has more currently active patents compared to Rivian. Looking at
the average familiy size, Rivian and Lucid are almost identical with the average size of 3.25 publications/family. Yet Rivian
has 63% of their portfolio still pending compared to roughly 8% pending in Lucid's portfolio. However, Lucid and Tesla are
rated much higher using a portfolio strength metric based on the ratio of the active families to pending families.

The data from IP Profiles can also be combined to generate additional insights such as the two metrics below. For example,
combining the total count of publications with the count of families allows you to generate a rough average family size.
This metric can indicate the potential for products to be made, used, or sold in multiple countries and also signifies greater
technologic investment in the patents being filed. The second metric is a simplistic method to generate a portofolio
strength score to allow a broad quantitative measure for comparing multiple companies quickly. The portfolio strength
metric helps determine which competitor has a strong balance of active and pending patents, or in other words, which
company has the most market protection currently and upcoming future developments. Below are examples of the
average family size and portfolio strength score metrics.
