7 ABOUT OTR USPTO The Ocean Tomo Ratings system for patents issued by the USPTO, is the most advanced web-based patent data, rating and analysis platform designed for objectively assessing patent quality, relevant patents and technologies, competition and competitive trends. The market validated system is used by major global corporations among the top IP holders. From individual patents and patent portfolios, to technology sectors and companies, the Ocean Tomo Ratings system provides unparalleled strategic insight and analysis. Built upon patented methodologies (U.S. Patent No. 6,556,992 and 7,716,226) derived from assessing the entire universe of U.S. issued patents, with over discrete patent attributes validated by market participants, the Ocean Tomo Ratings system shows interrelationships among all U.S. patents with a numerical relevance score. No other analysis and research tool combines patent quality metrics with other competitive portfolio assessment on a single accessible platform. The Ocean Tomo Ratings system is offered as a subscription or though individual reports. The report provides an overview of patent issuance activity within the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
