Patent landscape analysis has been extensively used in the IP industry for many years to track the number of patent filings, competitors, and collaborations, among other things. But there’s a lot more to these landscapes than just numbers. These days,...
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...
Once the patent landscape analysis is complete, it is imperative to compare the trends after some time. The technology landscape keeps on changing ever so frequently. With new disruptions in technology, everything changes. Hence, it is important to keep on...
How to track evolution of patent landscape? Most patent landscapes take months to complete. The data, however, becomes outdated after the landscape analysis is completed. In their respective technology areas, 15–30 patents are published each month. The data must be...
Technology intelligence, i.e., generating business-relevant insights, occurs when hypotheses are generated by connecting multiple and disparate data sources. For e.g., websites, press releases, annual reports, patents, technical publications, product manuals etc. Further, they are then verified through triangulation. Today, the...
Whitespaces in the patent landscape are gaps that are void of innovation, meaning that there is little to no patenting activity in those spaces. Whitespace extraction means identifying the lack of patent filing in a particular technology area to drive...
