Portfolio Analysis is a process of looking at the portfolio of a given company and ranking the individual patents on agreed upon criteria and the portfolio as a whole.
It is important for a client to have a feel for the value of their portfolio as a basic metric for the company at all times, but it can be especially beneficial under certain circumstances.
In addition, having a periodic portfolio analysis provides stability and continuity of knowledge by recording the value of patents. In the absence of a review analysis, one or two internal experts become the defacto repositories of knowledge and leave the company at risk of losing their data if they leave.
