What companies have the highest quality patent portfolio?

Many SPA clients have a need to assess the quality of a patent portfolio for reasons related to patent acquisitions, patent divestitures, collaboration partner assessment or efficiency of R&D spend. SPA has developed a proprietary algorithm for assessing the quality of a patent portfolio, based on a set of objective metrics such as citations and family members.
