How a 2-Week Portfolio Analysis of 65 Patents Helped Saved an $18M Acquisition Deal

Value Delivered

XLSCOUT enabled a client to assess a 65-patent semiconductor portfolio under active acquisition review within a two-week deadline.

The structured analysis provided clarity on enforceability, product relevance, and invalidity risk — supporting a confident, risk-informed decision without delaying the deal.

Problem Solved

The client was evaluating a semiconductor patent portfolio as part of an acquisition process.

The challenge was not reviewing individual patents. It was understanding portfolio-level strength under significant time pressure.

Specifically, the client needed clarity on:

• Which patents were realistically enforceable
• Which patents mapped to real industry products
• Whether invalidity risk could materially affect value
• Whether hidden licensing constraints existed
• How the portfolio should be valued in negotiation

Traditional manual review approaches were not scalable within the two-week timeline.
Fragmented analysis would increase the risk of oversight.

Solutions Offered

XLSCOUT deployed an integrated AI + expert-led workflow to evaluate the entire portfolio systematically.

The approach ensured that both value concentration and exposure risks were assessed across the full set of 65 patents.

Rather than relying on isolated patent reviews, the client gained portfolio-level intelligence within the decision window.
