Imagine for a moment that your intellectual property portfolio could speak. What would it tell you?

Would it highlight overlooked opportunities? Warn you of competitive threats? Suggest partnerships you hadn’t considered or reveal assets you didn’t know had value?

In the near future, this won’t be science fiction. It will be enterprise strategy.

At Big Idea, we’re building something ambitious: a new generation of tools that make your IP portfolio not just searchable or sortable, but conversational. Using advanced data structuring, relationship mapping, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI, we’re bringing portfolios to life. That means soon, your IP won’t just be stored and protected, it will be able to answer questions, surface insights, and guide strategic decision-making.

A Shift in Perspective

For decades, intellectual property has been treated as static, a series of records in a vault, a line item on a balance sheet, or a file on an attorney’s desk. But in reality, your IP is a living reflection of your company’s creativity, risk-taking, and investment in the future.

The problem is, traditional systems don’t let you interact with that reality. Information gets buried, relationships between assets go unnoticed, and decisions are made without a clear picture of what the company actually owns.

That’s why we’re rethinking the portfolio, not as a database, but as a dynamic system of knowledge.

Conversational Portfolios, Powered by IP Intelligence

Using AI and structured relationships, our platform enables a new way to engage with your IP: by asking it questions, and getting meaningful answers in return.

• What trade secrets are tied to this product line?
• Which patents support our long-term market goals?
• What’s missing from this portfolio to support our new AI strategy?
• Which agreements are set to expire this quarter?
• What companies are consistently citing our IP? Should we talk to them?

Instead of manually searching or relying on scattered files, our system brings together structured data, contextual AI, and real-time analytics, giving you the power to surface intelligence from your portfolio like never before.

Insights That Drive Enterprise Decisions

This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about better business.

• Gap Analysis – Understand where your protections are thin or where potential value hasn’t been captured.
• Partnership Discovery – See where shared innovation, cross-licensing, or acquisition might make strategic sense.
• Risk Mitigation – Identify exposure from lapsing agreements or unprotected know-how.
• Strategic Alignment – Map IP to company initiatives and market positioning, ensuring R&D and legal strategies are aligned.

With conversational IP intelligence, your portfolio becomes more than a protective tool, it becomes a source of actionable insight across legal, product, finance, and executive teams.

The Next Layer of Enterprise Intelligence

In the age of AI, data is no longer just for storage, it’s for conversation. Just as companies are building AI interfaces to interact with customer data or financial models, we believe IP should be part of that same strategic toolkit.

After all, your portfolio already knows more than you think. It knows your company’s history, its innovations, its risks, and its future. We’re just giving it the tools to speak.

If you could ask your IP portfolio anything, what would you ask?
