July changelog here.

Super proud of the team for what has been a monstrous July!

I'm most excited about patent charts and product charts. I've long wondered how to identify the most valuable patents in a portfolio at scale. Traditionally, folks used analytics such as number of forward citations, among a few other factors. While this is useful, and we are shipping this in August, the better proxy of value is if you can find live products in the marketplace using your patents.

We now offer 2 different proxies of value that will help counsel determine which patents are more valuable in their portfolio:
- A product chart maps a patent to products solving the same problem as the patent.
- A patent chart maps a patent to products solving the same problem in the same way as the patent.

Of course, we don't claim these are as rigorous as standard claim charts written by outside counsel.

But for a small fraction of the price, inhouse counsel now knows the business value of every patent they manage. They can comfortably prune the ones that don't have patent/product charts, or file CONs on ones that have quite a few.
