A matrix is a table or a grid, containing both rows and columns that hold patent queries.  Each cell contains the intersection of the two queries.

AcclaimIP offers four tools for analyzing keywords in patents.

1. Keyword Counter --> Counts the frequency of occurrence of terms and strings in a single patent and provides tools to construct queries.
2. QueryFlow TermExtract --> Ranks the "importance" of terms using a TF/IDF algorithm and helps construct weighted queries.
3. QueryFlow TermExtract for Multiple Patents --> Counts important terms from a set of up to 10 different patents, counts intersections, and constructs weighted queries.
4. Document Clustering --> Document clustering bundles patents into multi-tier themes from a set of up to 1000 patents.

It is important to monitor the patent transaction landscape, and identify companies actively acquiring or divesting from particular patents.

AcclaimIP includes a filter/facet that identifies patents that have transacted.  If the current and the original assignee do NOT match, AcclaimIP marks the patent as Transacted.  That is, they are different, and therefore likely transacted.
