Outline

This paper presents a novel, multi-stage, hybrid intelligence framework for pruning patent portfolios to identify high-value assets for technology transfer. Existing patent valuation methods often rely on retrospective metrics or time-consuming manual analysis. This framework automates and deepens this process by combining a learning-based ranking (LTR) model, which evaluates patents based on over 30 legal and commercial parameters, with a unique "Need-Seed" agent-based system. The "Need Agent" mines unstructured market and industry data using natural language processing (NLP) to identify explicit technological needs. Simultaneously, the "Seed Agent" analyzes patent claims and maps technological capabilities using a fine-tuned large-scale language model (LLM). This system generates a "core ontology framework" that matches high-potential patents (Seeds) with documented market demand (Needs), providing a strategic rationale for divestiture decisions. We detail the architecture, including a dynamic parameter weighting system and a significant human-in-the-loop (HITL) validation protocol to ensure adaptability and real-world reliability.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Providing an automated and in-depth analytical framework for patent portfolio management.
Efficient identification of high-value patents through the combination of the LTR model and agent-based systems.
Leveraging NLP and LLM to analyze unstructured data and identify technical requirements.
Support for strategic sales decisions by matching market demand with patented technology.
Ensuring reliability through a dynamic parameter weighting system and HITL verification protocol.
Limitations:
The performance of the framework may depend on the performance of the LTR model, LLM, and NLP models used.
Subjectivity and potential bias in the selection of more than 30 legal and commercial parameters.
Verification of accurate market demand identification for "Need Agent" and accurate patent technology mapping for "Seed Agent" is required.
Further research is needed to determine real-world market applicability and generalizability across diverse patent portfolios.
Specific guidelines are needed to ensure the efficiency and objectivity of the HITL protocol.
