Hoard, a patent intelligence platform with an analyst behind every view

Most patent intelligence platforms hand you a search box and a dashboard, then leave the hard parts to you: deciding what to watch, cleaning up assignee names, grouping publications into families, and reading the alerts. Hoard works the other way round. It is the workspace our analysts work in every day, and clients see the results through it. Think of it as our analysts’ observatory, with a seat kept for you.

That changes what a platform is for. You don’t need to learn query syntax or classification codes. You need to know what changed, why it matters, and what it means for a decision in front of you. An analyst does the configuring, the cleaning, and the first read. You get the view, the note, and the source behind both.

Hoard comes included with engagements that need it, such as Competitive Patent Intelligence, Patent Landscape & Whitespace, and Portfolio Administration. It is also available as a standalone subscription, quoted per scope.

Configured by an analyst. Every workspace starts from a scoping session. An analyst writes down your targets, the assignee name variants and subsidiaries that belong to each company, the classifications and concepts that define your field, and what counts as relevant. That brief becomes the workspace.

Maintained by an analyst. Companies rename themselves, merge, and spin out divisions. Fields drift into new vocabulary. An analyst keeps the workspace current, so a view built last year still means what it says.

Read by a person first. Every alert in Hoard Watch is read by an analyst before it reaches you, ranked, and annotated in plain English. Hoard Atlas views are built from reconciled data, and Hoard Ledger records are checked against public sources.

Method on the record. The databases, classifications, query strings, date cut-offs, and AI tools behind each view are written down in an audit trail, as they are for every report we deliver. Read more about our method.
