Case Study: Fortune 100 Tech Company boosts patent ROI with RWS AOP Connect

A Fortune 100 company generates ROI from its patent portfolio using AOP Connect

A Fortune 100 tech company with a large patent portfolio wanted to increase ROI and re-engage its inventors. They faced difficulties mapping patents to products, uncovering evidence of use, and enforcing compliance controls to ensure inventors only provided permitted information during mapping.

RWS deployed AOP Connect to centralize art and mappings under a single login, offering document highlighting, graphs, full-text search, branding, and private internal studies integrated with RWS’s Crowd. The platform made it easier to identify licensing opportunities and standards, run combined internal and external studies, and store results centrally; the client reported increased patent-portfolio ROI, higher inventor engagement in monetization and infringement identification, and greater IP visibility that converted a cost centre into a revenue source.
