Global IP Estimator Online
The Process of Running an Estimate
Running an estimate consists of five steps:
- Choose the application type, or choose to use a saved scenario. A scenario is
a previously run estimate that is saved for reuse, or any estimate that has been run
within the last 7 days.
- Select countries
- Specify calculation options, such as stages to exclude
- Enter application information, such as number of claims for patents, or
number of classes for trademarks
- Select report options, and whether to save the estimate as a scenario
Re-running an Estimate
Step five of running an estimate gives the user the choice of saving the estimate
for re-use by the user and/or the user's group. The scenario is saved with a name and description
supplied by the user. The scenario saves the information entered at each step of running
the estimate. When rerunning the scenario, those entries are displayed and may be changed.
User Settings
The user can control many elements of the estimate calculation process. In
particular, it is important that the user review the in-house charges used for the estimate,
so that the numbers reflect the user's own practice. A description of the available user settings
may be found in the
User Settings Overview.
