Medtronic and Dolcera: The Game Changing Patent Dashboard

Posted by samir

Dolcera has worked with Mike Jaro, the Chief Patent Counsel, to create the Patent Dashboard platform that is now used by dozens of Fortune 500 companies around the world.

Here is an article on InsideCounsel describing Medtronic’s requirements and the Dolcera-powered solution.

Some quotes:

“We have a lot of different technologies that we work with, and as the amount of patents has been escalating, it became more and more difficult to make sure we had good current awareness,” says Chief Patent Counsel Michael Jaro. “We had TMI—‘too much information’—going on here.”

“We knew we needed to do something different,” Jaro says. “We had tried machine-based categorization, but it was not altogether acceptable, because we were getting overinclusive or underinclusive lists.”

“Human beings are much better at categorizing documents into meaningful topics than machines are,” he says. “This is a nice hybrid.”
