Taipei, TW/Palo Alto, CA | September 25, 2020 — InQuartik​ Corporation​, a global leader in providing patent analytics and solutions backed by timely and complete patent data, announced today with ClearstoneIP, a centralized freedom-to-operate workflow management platform, that it has signed a cooperative agreement to form a new and exciting alliance to provide in-depth patent validity analysis for Freedom to Operate (FTO).

Patentcloud’s Quality Insights will be integrated into the Clearstone FTO management platform to provide users with instant access to patent quality analysis — streamlining the patent clearance process.

• The alliance will allow Clearstone FTO users to obtain comprehensive validity reports for U.S. utility patents on the Clearstone FTO platform.
• The new feature will include a summary count of §102/103 references as well as the proprietary Patent Quality and Value Rankings.
• With deep analytics and metrics, users will be able to conduct thorough patent analysis within one integrated platform.

For years, Clearstone FTO has been a trustworthy and intuitive web platform, purpose-built for patent clearance and FTO processes. With Quality Insights’ comprehensive patent validity reports, users will be able to further inform FTO decisions and build strategies by efficiently evaluating a patent’s strength.

“With the foundational workflow processes in place in Clearstone FTO, we sought opportunities to add value to our customers’ patent clearance reviews by partnering with analytics providers. Y.P. Jou and InQuartik’s Quality Insights platform stood out and impressed us immediately with carefully-thought-out capabilities that demonstrate their deep wealth of industry experience.”

— Gabe Sukman, CEO and Co-Founder, ClearstoneIP

Clearstone FTO users may activate a 7-day free trial that includes two free Quality Insights reports by signing into Patentcloud using their Clearstone FTO account. The integration will allow Clearstone FTO users to:

• Browse a timeline of the prosecution and post-grant proceedings history;
• Map the claim terms to the patent’s specification to identify potential § 112 issues;
• Map the claim terms to the patent’s prosecution history to identify narrowing amendments, plus any § 102 and § 103 issues;
• Identify potential prior art using proprietary analytics features, including the prior art of family members, the prior art of cited references by examiner or petitioner, and AI-powered semantic prior art across the IP5 and WIPO;
• Generate a claim chart by using the one-click claim chart feature — Prior Art Analytics;
• Search through office actions and post-grant proceedings documents.

“Nowadays, companies can easily sell and ship their products to every corner of the world. As e-commerce is becoming more and more important in the post-pandemic era, these companies now face greater risks related to FTO. By forming this alliance with Clearstone FTO, we believe that its users will benefit from this integrated analytics platform and reduce the risk of patent infringement.”

— Y.P. Jou, Founder and CEO of InQuartik

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 19, 2020 -- As organizations across the region pivot to digital engagement models, social media has become the primary channel for organizations to interact with their customers. Recognizing the need for organizations to assess and address the risks posed by these platforms, Credence Security, a leading regional distributor of specialized solutions in cybersecurity, forensics, governance, risk and compliance, today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with ZeroFOX, the leading provider of digital risk protection services.

In the first four months of 2020, ZeroFOX observed a 60% increase in fraud and scams, a 68% increase in malicious domain takedowns, and 145% increase in credential theft. “As organizations continue to build their social presence, they must realize that it offers cybercriminals a new attack vector; bad actors are using social platforms to impersonate organizations and/or executives, phish employees, steal data and siphon revenues, ultimately resulting in an erosion of brand loyalty and trust,” commented Gabe Goldhirsh, Vice President, MEA/APAC Sales, ZeroFOX. “An effective protection approach necessitates continuous monitoring of the vast attack surface, in cooperation with the public platform providers and hosts, to rapidly identify fraudulent activity and immediately stop and remove the threat before damage can occur.” 

A leader in the fast-emerging Digital Risk Protection (DRP) market, ZeroFOX safeguards modern organizations from dynamic security risks across social, mobile, surface, deep and dark web, email and collaboration platforms. Using diverse data sources and artificial intelligence-based analysis, the ZeroFOX Platform identifies and remediates targeted phishing attacks, credential compromise, data leakage, brand hijacking, impersonations, executive and location threats and more. The patented ZeroFOX SaaS technology processes and protects millions of posts, messages and accounts daily across the social and digital landscape, spanning LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Instagram, Pastebin, YouTube, mobile app stores, the deep & dark web, domains, email and more. ZeroFOX Takedown-as-a-Service helps dismantle attacker infrastructure to thwart future attacks.

In selecting Credence Security as its distribution partner for the Middle East, Pakistan, Africa and India, ZeroFOX was particularly drawn to Credence Security’s market strategy and its singular focus on cybersecurity with a portfolio of like-minded, best-in-class vendors. Credence Security’s longevity and reputation in the market, agile and transparent business model and footprint across key regional markets were also key factors that drove ZeroFOX’s decision.

As the partnership launches, Credence Security will engage with new and existing partners to drive sales of ZeroFOX solutions to enterprises particularly in the BFSI, Government, Media & Entertainment, Real Estate, Retail and Telecoms sectors. For its part, ZeroFOX will invest in upskilling and training regional partners, offer marketing and sales support and weekly threat advisories for customers and prospects.

“A robust digital-first security strategy includes a comprehensive approach that supports the entire digital risk lifecycle — detect, analyze, disrupt, and optimize. Unlike legacy vendors, ZeroFOX delivers an AI-driven, integrated solution that provides security teams with the capabilities they need to secure their public attack surface,” noted Garreth Scott, managing director, Credence Security. “Over the last few years, we have built a strong portfolio of cybersecurity and digital forensics solutions. Partnering with ZeroFOX, gives us a critical complementary solution that will allow us to expand our capabilities and offer regional organizations a suite of solutions to protect their most critical digital assets.”
