Competitor analysis considers the strengths and weaknesses of your main competition. This could be on a named company basis or may be more generalised on a group of competitors who have similar traits.
The purpose of conducting competitor analysis is to identify the opportunities for you to exploit or identify areas to strengthen in your business that should be addressed to keep up the pace.
An IP competitor benchmarking study is designed to compare your IP with your closest competition. This comprehensive analysis will uncover and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your IP portfolio and give you a detailed view of what your competitors are patenting. Consequently, this IP analysis will provide valuable technical and commercial insights into the demographic of your competitors’ R&D.
Alternatively, if you do not currently own any patents, we can compare and contrast your current R&D strategy with your competitors’ IP strategy.

Looking at the publicly available data, such as the financials, may only be telling part of the story. If you can bring in the IP dimension, then it starts to tell the untold story. You are attempting to get into your competitors’ head with insight on the areas they are most concerned about or where they are most excited.
Source Advisors has a wealth of experience helping companies of all sizes navigate uncertainties surrounding tax and licensing of IP, allowing them to confidently maximise the advantages of IP ownership, licensing and accessing the UK’s Patent Box incentive.
Our IP consultancy services, including Patent Box, are closely linked with R&D tax relief and a company can often claim tax relief under both schemes. Source Advisors can offer you advice to maximise your claims across both schemes. Find out more about our R&D tax relief services.
