IPscore is a decision-support tool from the European Patent Office (EPO) that helps organizations evaluate the strength and business relevance of individual patents and entire patent portfolios. It guides users through a structured assessment that combines qualitative and quantitative criteria across legal, technical, market, and financial dimensions. Results are aggregated into clear scores and visuals, making it easier to compare assets, prioritize investments, and communicate IP value to stakeholders.

Key capabilities:

Evaluate single patents and portfolios using a consistent, transparent framework
Assess factors such as legal status and scope, technology maturity, market potential, competitive landscape, and financial impact
Customize scoring criteria and weightings to reflect your strategy and industry
Run scenarios and sensitivity analyses to test assumptions and forecast outcomes
Generate dashboards and reports to rank, benchmark, and track assets over time
Support decisions on filing, prosecution, maintenance, pruning, licensing, partnerships, and budgeting

IPscore is designed for IP managers, R&D leaders, technology transfer offices, and business strategists who need a practical, repeatable way to align IP with business objectives. It is available free of charge from the EPO, along with documentation and training materials.

IPscore is developed by EPO. The most popular version of this product among our users is 2.2.
