The granted patent US12014436B2 outlines a method and system for analyzing and visualizing intellectual property (IP) assets associated with a first entity. The method involves identifying the entity's IP assets and generating data that represents cluster result sets of these assets, categorized by varying levels of granularity. Each cluster includes a specific number of IP assets and associated keywords derived from text portions related to those assets. A graphical user interface (GUI) is created to display these clusters and allows users to interact with the data, such as selecting specific clusters to identify related products or services, revenue amounts, and levels of exposure based on the IP assets.

Additionally, the patent describes features for enhancing the GUI, including interactive graphical elements that spatially represent clusters and indicators for gaps in coverage between them. The system can also analyze historical data related to the entity's IP assets, including trends in revenue and litigation history, to determine exposure levels. The method allows for the adjustment of exposure levels based on relevance assessments of different result sets, providing a comprehensive tool for entities to manage and visualize their intellectual property assets effectively.
