M&A Advisors
The Quantum Terminal brings together corporate data of more than 700,000 companies worldwide, Intellectual Property & patent data, powerful analytics and communication tools – in one integrated solution.
M&A advisors use our terminal to significantly speed up the process of identifying buy- and sell-side targets. With our machine learning based approach, an M&A target list is created by analysing the buyer’s technological scope by generating a knowledge graph based on its Intellectual Property and mapping it with potentially matching targets. Furthermore, technological similarities between companies can be identified, both from a coporate and patent perspective. An integrated collaboration functionality allows teams to seamlessly integrate the Quantum Terminal research process into the existing M&A advisory workflow.
Create M&A Shortlists
With our machine learning based approach, an M&A target list is created by analysing the buyers’ technological scope by generating a competence cluster based on its intellectual property and mapping this profile with potential matching targets.
Create winning presentations
Analyse your potential customer before you even present your offer to him. Comprehensive knowledge graphs and quick identification of buy or sell-side candidates allows you to show analytical competence. Use the charts for your next presentation.
Identify and Analyse Competition
Build competition matrices by identifying competing companies directly from a technological-, best in class, over time and geographic perspective.
USE CASE EXAMPLE
Identify Buy- and Sell Side Targets Based on IP Data and Artificial Intelligence
Traditionally, when Company X wants to expand in a particular technology area and wants to prepare a list of potential acquisition candidates, questions around how to identify targets or how to rank them arise. With our machine learning based approach, an M&A target list is created by analysing the buyers’ technological scope by generating a competence cluster based on its intellectual property. Support vector machines are analysing all patent filings and understand what areas the acquirer owns technologies in. For each area, the machine maps every patent of the acquirer with every patent of the potential targets and provides an overview of its relatedness and closeness.
Potential Acquisition Targets, Based on the Technological Closeness and Relatedness.
USE CASE EXAMPLE
Uncover Competitor-, Tech- & Market Trends
The Quantum Terminal helps track markets, competitors and technologies by identifying where IP sit within an overall landscape. The platform shows who the actors are in a new, adjacent and emerging space. And it helps to map hotspots and whitespace so you can source inspiration from the closest solutions to the idea you wish to prsue. This is the level of intelligence needed to stay one step ahead.
Geographical Distribution of Selected Technology Based on Strength
Comparative Peer-Knowledge Graphs down to a topic level
Peer Group Comparison of the Developement of Selected Technology Over Time
Identifying competitors by mapping IP competences and screening inbound references
USE CASE EXAMPLE
Identify True Technology Leaders
Who are the strongest players in drone technologies? Who is leading hydraulic fracturing? Where are the top Artificial Intelligence companies? Answers to these questions can be retrieved in seconds – based on more than 110 Million patent records, matched with 700,000 private and public companies. This allows expert investors and advisors to get the clearest view of a company’s innovation cycle and compare it against peers.

IDENTIFY TECHNOLOGY LEADERS
Who are the strongest players in drone technologies? Who is leading hydraulic fracturing? Where are the top Artificial Intelligence companies? Use our platform to identify companies with leading technology.
MAKE INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISIONS
Is now the right time to buy a stock? Is this stock already overvalued and I should sell it? Traders are asking themselves these questions every day. We can provide more insights with IP based fair market value predictions, based on research from renowned universities.
IDENTIFY BUY- AND SELL SIDE TARGETS
With our machine learning based approach, an M&A target list is created by analysing the buyers’ technological scope by generating a competence cluster based on its intellectual property and mapping this profile with potential matching targets.
IDENTIFY STOCK PRICE TRENDS
Correlations of up to 0.99 between IP based fair value (“IPI”) and stock prices are strong indicators for future trend direction changes. This provides unique smart beta to your trading decisions – based on research from renowned universities.
VALIDATE YOUR TRADING DECISIONS
Hard facts: measure your own potential smart beta based on your personal trading pattern. With the build in “Trade Analyzer” functionality you can easily add our IP based indicators to your historical trades to see what difference it would have made on your overall performance.
GENERATE INVESTMENT IDEAS
Identify hidden champions and invest in them ahead of time. IP based analytics provides valuable insights into upcoming technologies of a corporation, their degree of innovative efficiacy to turn R&D expenses into IP and their ability to generate actual sales revenues.
UNCOVER COMPETITOR AND MARKET TRENDS
Track markets, competitors and technologies by identifying where IP sit within an overall landscape. The platform shows who the actors are in a new, adjacent and emerging space. And it helps to map hotspots and whitespace so you can source inspiration from the closest solutions to the idea you wish to prsue.
EXPLORE GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
Explore the technological and innovative strength in specific geographic areas or countries. Find the right and strongest IP in the targeted geographic location on our Geo-Map. We help track markets, competitors and technologies by identifying IP locations on a global scale based on 18MM+ geo-tagged patent assignees and inventors.

IP Indicators and Company-Specific Data
At the heart of the Terminal is the assimilation of both proprietary and external research to create real-time indicators pertaining to IP and intangible assets. These indicators provide a critical framework for our smart beta and trade analyzer applications, in addition to the real-time alerts flagging stock price discrepancies vs. the IPI.
