The <\/span>Entity Grouping<\/b><\/span> feature consolidates the corporate portfolio of all connected entities in one view, allowing you to evaluate the full scope of patents or trademarks filed by a corporate group. This saves you the need to manually select related entities individually for a consolidated view. You also avoid the risk of overlooking a related entity, e.g. when a M&A occurs.<\/span><\/p>\nThis feature is currently applicable to the grouping of applicants<\/b> only. There is no option to group law firms at this stage; to select a group of law firms, you will need to select them individually from the name search bar under Analyze Law Firm<\/b>.<\/p>\n
