PORTFOLIO

Portfolio Management

A Portfolio Is More
Than a List of Patents

Most companies file patents. Very few build portfolios. The difference is strategy — a coordinated programme of IP protection aligned to your business model, your competitive landscape, and your commercial objectives. Prism IP manages portfolios as strategic assets, not administrative burdens.

What Is IP Portfolio Management?

Strategy Applied to
Every IP Decision

IP portfolio management is the ongoing discipline of making your intellectual property work harder for your business. It covers every decision about your IP — what to file, where, when, and with what claims; which patents to maintain and which to let lapse; how to organise your portfolio to support licensing, litigation, and M&A objectives; and how to deploy your IP competitively.

Prism IP's portfolio management service is built around Manvi Mittra's operational experience managing IP across large-scale engineering organisations — where portfolio decisions are made at volume, under time pressure, and with direct commercial consequence. That experience translates directly to clients who need a partner that understands the operational as well as strategic dimensions of IP management.

We manage portfolios ranging from a handful of startup patents to multi-hundred patent family portfolios across multiple jurisdictions. In every case, our approach is the same: understand the business, align the portfolio to it, and ensure every IP decision serves a commercial purpose.

01
Portfolio Audit
A complete review of your existing IP — what you have, where it's protected, what it covers, what's expiring, and what the gaps are relative to your business.
02
Business Alignment
We map your IP to your product roadmap, your revenue streams, and your competitive threats — identifying where the portfolio is well-positioned and where it isn't.
03
Filing Strategy
A coordinated filing programme that builds coverage systematically — not ad hoc — ensuring that your portfolio grows in the right directions and at the right pace.
04
Maintenance Decisions
Annual review of every patent's commercial relevance against its renewal cost — making deliberate decisions about what to keep, what to let lapse, and what to monetise.
05
Commercialisation Planning
Identifying licensing opportunities, potential infringers, and M&A targets — deploying the portfolio actively, not just maintaining it passively.

What We Manage

Every Dimension of
Your IP Portfolio

01
Portfolio Audit & Benchmarking

A complete independent assessment of your portfolio — coverage, strength, gaps, expiry schedule, and competitive position relative to key players in your space.

02
Filing Programme Management

End-to-end management of your ongoing filing programme — invention harvesting, prioritisation, drafting coordination, prosecution, and grant tracking.

03
Annuity & Renewal Management

Systematic tracking and payment of renewal fees across all jurisdictions — ensuring you never lose a valuable right through administrative oversight.

04
Inventor Programme Support

Structured inventor interview processes, disclosure form management, and invention harvesting — building an internal culture of IP creation based on Manvi's experience running such programmes at scale.

05
Portfolio Rationalisation

Identifying patents that are no longer commercially relevant and should be allowed to lapse — reducing maintenance costs and focusing resource on the rights that matter.

06
Competitive Portfolio Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring of competitor patent activity — alerting you when rivals enter your technology space, build around your claims, or create new blocking positions.
