ATLANTA, GA & LAS VEGAS, NV -- UnitedLex, a global leader in legal consulting, technology and outsourcing, today announced it has formed a strategic relationship with Oval Ideas, Inc, a leading vendor of software tools that enable rapid comprehension and decision making of Intellectual Property landscapes.  The solution delivers agile strategic analysis of technologies and enables effective cross functional collaboration.

Oval Ideas will be showcasing their patent analytics in a workshop titled, “Strategic IP and Scenarios for Open Innovation Competitiveness” at the 3rd Annual Open Innovation Conference (April 6-8) at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas, NV.

UnitedLex patent analytics team assists corporations in analyzing large amounts of patent and non-patent literature,thus allowing them to more effectively guide their R&D strategy by better understanding what exists in the landscape and where the best opportunities are.

“There is a lot of motivation for the partnership between our companies and it makes logical and business sense for us to be working together,” said Greg Narog, SVP Marketing, Oval Ideas. “Our main purpose is to facilitate the workflow for the customer. Many organizations are finding that they are benefiting from doing larger scope, broader patent landscaping projects because they find additional ideas in outlying or cross over technology areas.”

“By combining our respective strengths, UnitedLex and Oval Ideas delivers a better developed and comprehensive analysis,” said Ian Benouis, VP Intellectual Property, UnitedLex. “The result is a more functional output because customers can go broader and deeper in their analysis while still quickly getting to the appropriate strategic decision points faster with higher confidence in the results.”
