IPC Research
Within the Patent Liquidity Standards Framework we have identified several areas for research and development each led by one of our Executive Partners. We work with our partners to define these research areas and their projects and potentially resource them with participation of students and professionals.
Research projects within the Alliance are critical for shaping and refining the Patent Liquidity Framework and the Common Asset Transaction Language. While the foundational blueprint for these initiatives is established, the detailed requirements and system specifications must be defined through the active engagement of diverse stakeholders across the ecosystem. Our research projects aim to validate key assumptions and gather valuable insights from our members, enabling us to continuously improve and fine-tune our framework. One of our key initial projects is defining the research agenda itself, which will officially launch in Q4 2024. This project will utilize a comprehensive methodology, beginning with stakeholder interviews and followed by data collection via a structured survey. Our proprietary Radar108 platform will drive the analysis, allowing us to deliver actionable insights that will guide the evolution of our systems and applications.
