🎯
Interactive input
The platform asks 40+ structured questions — claim charts, product financials, venue, invalidity risk.
Patent Damages Engine
Not a calculator.
A guided intelligence engine.
Meridian is a conversational platform that walks users through each layer of a damages opinion — interrogating the facts, applying validated algorithms and stress-testing every assumption before producing a court-ready output.
What Meridian is
Four pillars behind every opinion
⚖
Legal rigor
All 15 Georgia-Pacific factors scored, weighted and mapped to comparable license data.
🎲
Risk simulation
10,000-iteration Monte Carlo over IPR risk, § 101 risk, venue and validity probability.
📊
Investor output
P10/P50/P90 exposure range, methodology narrative, JSON/CSV export for downstream use.
How it works
7-stage guided valuation workflow
- 01
Case & patent intake
Venue, hypothetical negotiation date, patent numbers, claim strength scoring.
- 02
Accused product mapping
SSPPU identification, infringing revenue, apportionment factor, EMVR eligibility check.
- 03
Georgia-Pacific interrogation
All 15 GP factors scored via guided Q&A, with comparable license normalization.
- 04
Risk layer: IPR + § 101 + venue
Inter partes review probability, subject matter eligibility, judge-level Daubert risk flags.
- 05
Law firm intelligence
Opposing counsel win rates, expert witness track records, settlement propensity scoring.
- 06
Monte Carlo simulation
10,000 iterations across rate, apportionment, validity and infringement probability.
- 07
Reproducible deliverable
Exposure band, methodology narrative and audit trail exported for IC memos and underwriting files.
Nuance coverage
Where others stop, Meridian goes deeper
Four proprietary risk layers unavailable in any other patent valuation tool.
IPR / post-grant risk
PTAB institution rates by art unit, petitioner track record, patent age and claim breadth. Applied as a Bernoulli probability multiplier on all damages outputs.
67% avg PTAB institution rateArt-unit specific
Venue intelligence
District-by-district win rates, median award calibration, judge-level Daubert intensity, and W.D. Texas Waco division data through Q1 2026.
WD Tex +8–12%D. Del +5–8%7 districts mapped
§ 101 / Alice risk
Subject matter eligibility scoring via claim abstraction analysis. Software, business method and diagnostic patents carry elevated § 101 flags that compress the damages range.
Alice/Mayo doctrine mappedCPC class scoring
Law firm metrics
Opposing counsel win/loss records, damages-expert Daubert challenge success rates, settlement propensity index and litigation duration modeling by firm.

Capital & insurance coverage
Purpose-built for the three capital providers on every case
PE / litigation fund risk
Probabilistic case selection for IP-focused funds: MOIC/NPV, tranche sizing and stage-gate deployment on a per-case Reliability Index.
MOIC / NPV @ 25%Stage-gate tranches
Judgment preservation insurance
Post-verdict JPI underwriting: reversal and remittitur probability on appeal, attachment-point pricing, layered-tower correlation.
CAFC 34.5% reversalLayered tower
Contingency litigation risk
Case selection for plaintiff-side firms: expected fee recovery, break-even hour budget and Daubert exclusion risk on damages experts.
Break-even hour budget
Cross-coverage diligence
One reproducible engine feeds fund IC memos, law-firm intake committees and JPI underwriters — the same P10/P50/P90 across the capital stack.
