The IPRSCORE™ is a strategic, proprietary benchmarking tool utilized by the IP Marketplace™, which measures the strength, protection, and exploitation of a company’s intellectual property (IP).

The IPRSCORE™ acts as a trusted benchmark (often described as the “FICO score for IP”) assessing companies across five core IP asset classes: Brand, Patents, Software, Critical Data, and Trade Secrets, identifying and separating high-growth and scalable IP-rich companies. It’s designed to give companies a clear understanding of how effectively their IP assets are secured, managed, and leveraged to create a sustainable competitive advantage and increase their business valuation.

Unlike traditional IP valuations that focus on assigning monetary value, the IPRSCORE™ evaluates how well a company’s IP contributes to building a competitive moat—regardless of its size, sector, or stage of growth. Whether you’re an early-stage startup, scaling up, or preparing for exit, the IPRSCORE™ offers insights that are actionable and relevant to your current position and future ambitions.

Why secure an IPRSCORE™?

Companies secure an IPRSCORE™ as it provides them with a clear, compelling narrative around their IP assets. The IPRSCORE™ and IP Insights Deck provide companies with identified IP Strengths that are being incorporated into CIMs & Investor Decks.

Companies that join the IP Marketplace™ receive an IPRSCORE™  and a tailored IP Action Plan and detailed recommendations, which designed to improve the strength and protection of their IP portfolio, highlights specific actions to address IP gaps, mitigate IP and business risks, and enhance the overall extent and quality of the IP portfolio. By implementing these targeted improvements, companies can ultimately improve their IPRSCORE™, and demonstrate a more robust IP position to investors, lenders, and strategic partners.

Actionable insight from the IPRSCORE™ enables companies to:

• strengthen IP as a credible form of collateral

• improve IP governance and management to appeal to investors and lenders

• build and communicate a stronger competitive moat

• develop a clear, company-specific IP narrative for fundraising, M&A, or partnerships

What do companies receive?

Companies receive a comprehensive IP Insights Deck, which includes identified IP Strengths and a tailored set of IP Recommendations designed to improve the strength, protection, and strategic use of their IP portfolio, to build a stronger competitive moat and, in turn, increase their business valuation.

The IP Recommendations are designed to have a positive impact on their business, and are categorized under the following Business Impact Factors:

• Strengthen Collateral Value: Recommendations designed to improve the strength and protection of IP, both as collateral for lenders and as a key component of a Company's competitive moat.

• Revenue Protection / Growth: Recommendations designed to (i) reduce IP risk that threatens future cash flows, and (ii) enhance IP protection and IP management to support business growth.

• Margin Protection / Improvement: Recommendations designed to strengthen IP strategy and IP management in order to maximize return on IP asset investment, by creating both operational efficiencies and opportunities to increase product / service margins.

How is the IPRSCORE™ used?

On the IP Marketplace™, the IPRSCORE™ and IP Insights shine a spotlight on the Company's IP and help cut through the market noise:

• Internally, the IPRSCORE™ and IP Insights Deck provides companies with a clear, compelling narrative around their IP assets (identified IP Strengths that are being incorporated into CIMs & Investor Decks), and tailored, company-specific IP Recommendations to be actioned and implemented, building an IP Strategy, strengthening the IP assets, and improving the IPRSCORE™

• Externally, the IPRSCORE™ can differentiate IP-rich companies and cut through the market noise, putting a spotlight on IP.

As intangible assets increasingly underpin enterprise value, the IPRSCORE™ enables more informed decision-making—reducing diligence friction and increasing confidence in innovation-led businesses.
