IP portfolio report redaction is the removal of personal data from an asset summary. It supports GDPR Recital 26 when you share the figures alone. anonym.plus runs offline and keeps the counts, status, and value detail intact.
When this applies
A portfolio report lists inventors, owners, and counsel across many assets. To share the summary for review, strip that personal data first.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Load the report into anonym.plus on your device.
- The tool finds inventor, owner, and counsel names.
- Asset counts, status, and value figures stay in place.
- Swap each name with a steady label across the file.
- Save the clean copy on your device.
What you need to provide
- The report (PDF, DOCX, CSV, or export).
- An operator; Replace keeps the figures aligned.
- Optional steady map so one person maps to one label.

Limitations & cautions
Granted assets are often public, so the patent IDs can re-link to named owners on a register. Swap the IDs too for a blinded summary. Tables mix tidy columns with notes, so review free-text cells as you would any note.
Frequently asked questions
Can owners stay steady across the report?
Yes. A steady label map swaps each name the same way, so the same owner reads as one label across every row.
Are the value figures removed?
No. Counts, status, and value figures stay. Only personal IDs change.
Does it handle a CSV export?
Yes. Tidy CSV columns and document reports both work, on your device.
