IPCura Announces the Most Valuable Patents in 2003
Abstract
An IP Consulting firm named IPCura has released a report detailing the most valuable patents thus far in 2003. The top 20 according to the website are:
1. US 5742905 Personal Communications Internetworking Bells Communications Res Inc.
2. US 5608786 Unified messaging system and method Alphanet Telecom Inc.
3. US 5643826 Method for manufacturing a semiconductor device Semiconductor Energy Lab Co.
4. US 5774660 World-wide-web server with delayed resource... Resonate,Inc.
5. US 5744305 Arrays of materials attached to a substrate Affymetrix, Inc.
6. US 5884032 System for coordinating communications via... New Bruswick Telephone Co.
7. US 5837458 Methods and compositions for cellular and... Maxygen, Inc.
8. US 5862325 Computer-based communication system and... Intermind Coroporation
9. US 5143854 Large scale photolithographic solid phase... Affymax Technologies
10. US 5790548 Universal access multimedia data network Bell Atlantic Network Serv., Inc.
11. US 5738574 Continuous processing system for chemical... Applied Materials, Inc.
12. US 5811238 Methods for generating polynucleotides having... Affymax Technologies
13. US 5380721 DNA mutagenesis by random fragmentation... Affymax Technologies
14. US 5605662 Active programmable electronic devices for... Nanogen, Inc.
15. US 5848396 Method and apparatus for determining behavioral... Freedom of Informations, Inc.
16. US 5610910 Access to telecommunications networks in... Northern Telecom Limited
17. US 5647168 Flat trapezoidal container of brightly printed... Professional Package Co.
18. US 5700637 Apparatus and method for analyzing polynucleotide Isis Innovation Limited
19. US 5807522 Methods for fabricating microarrays of biological... Stanford University
20. US 5683366 System and method for electrosurgical tissue... Arthrocare Corporation
The problem with this is that no where on their site do they actually mention how they came up with this ranking or how they do their scoring. The entire effort is meant to promote the sale of a $999 report that outlines different companies and industries and rank their portfolios. Without a clearer understanding of the methodology behind the scores it is hard to say how valuable this information is.

M-CAM Announces Study on Litigation Risk Classification
Abstract
During the 2003 PIUG meeting I spoke with David Martin about a study M-CAM conducted with the University of Virginia examining factors that correlate to future patent litigation. The study claims that use of M-CAM's risk classification identified patents that were ten times more likely to be the subject of future litigation than other documents.

Meeting Announcement: 2003 Northeast PIUG Workshop -- October 8th
Abstract
Not nearly as large as the Annual meeting (but still usually attended by 150 or so people), the Northeast PIUG meeting is a long standing and informative event for the patent information community. The event is typically conducted in a single day but this year the planning committee is expanding coverage by including pre and post meeting workshops. More information will be posted later when the theme and call for papers is announced.

Intellectual Assets Management: From Patent to Knowledge Paper Appears in World Patent Information
Abstract
The June 2003 issue of World Patent Information contains a paper from an Italian group which has put together a patent collection and analysis tool that they are calling ArchIPat. The software was developed by an academic spin-off within the AREA Science Park of Trieste. A user can conduct a search using the system and select which patent provider they would like to have the data downloaded from. Once retrieved ArchIPat will create a relational database from the data (in either Oracle or Access format) and allow the user to analyze the data using various text and data mining methods.
