Are you monitoring the Patent Landscape? 

Monitoring the Patent Landscape: A patent landscape provides an overview of the publishing activity in a certain technology area. The use of geographical boundaries might help to further categorize the landscape. An analysis of this patent landscape might assist a company to forecast and capitalize on market trends. It is important to pay close attention to the technologies you and your competitors are patenting, to gain a better understanding of the industry you are innovating and monetizing in.

Adapting to a Shifting Landscape 

The manual patent landscapes are frequently criticized for producing static results. Most reports and graphs simply offer a picture of the market at a specific moment in time.

Even the most thorough and detailed patent analysis can become obsolete in a matter of weeks or even days.

In the past, despite many advantages, businesses were hesitant to undertake patent landscape searches because it simply was not worth the time, money, and effort to conduct a thorough landscape analysis (not to mention keeping it updated). However, patent landscaping is important if your company relies on technology and intellectual property. It is an essential type of intelligence that improves the value of your resources and enables you to find new partners and expand your reach.
