Crystal Ball Meets Dashboard: How Data Predicts Risk and Powers Innovation

-How a data-driven approach to IP risk forecasting can drive effective strategy-


Patents are important for companies to justify investments in R&D in a competitive environment, as they drive innovation. However, maintaining a patent portfolio is costly, and companies must continuously evaluate and adjust their patent strategy. How can IP professionals in companies justify their strategy and communicate their IP plans and budgets to company executives?

A data-driven approach—analyzing patent landscapes, litigation trends, competitor activities, and more—provides companies with a clear, strategic perspective for developing an effective patent strategy.

In the upcoming CHIZAI (IP) seminar, we’ll explore data-driven approaches to minimizing risk and fostering innovation. Kent Richardson from Richardson Oliver Law Group, a seasoned advisor with extensive experience guiding companies on IP strategy, will share key insights on this topic.

In the second half of the seminar, we’ll host a discussion featuring Jared Engstrom from CrowdStrike who brings hands-on experience in using data to both mitigate corporate risk and accelerate innovation.

If you’re involved in corporate patent strategy, we encourage you to join us!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Organized by

Bay Area CHIZAI* (IP) is a unique networking platform (*CHIZAI means IP in Japanese). This group holds a seminar and networking event regularly in the Bay Area. Members are IP professionals, who are doing or interested in Japanese IP practices. Professor Toshiko Takenaka and NEDO Silicon Valley office founded this group. It is currently organized by Reina Sato, a JPO senior examiner and current senior director at NEDO Silicon Valley Office.

The following basic rules are in place to help make all participants feel safe and comfortable while participating in these invaluable discussions:

  • No-confidential discussions: Information brought to the presentation or discussion should not include any confidential matters or other materials that may require non-disclosure agreement or any other legal arrangement.

  • Keeping privacy private: All participants and presenters should always feel free and safe to discuss information and their opinions openly and respectfully. The conversations should be shard commonly across all participants, however any discussion topics or comments must not be publicized without a consensus.

We are a group of curious people who are interested in learning anything about technical, legal and business practices of IP that moves us. We hope that all participants will enjoy the band-new conversation platform as a safe place to network and learn from each other for years to come.
