PATENT ANALYSE

Patent analyse is the process of searching for meaningful trends, patterns, and relationships among patent records contained in patent databases. Patent mapping and patent analytics are ways of visualizing patent mining results.

The patent mining cycle starts with a reference question driven by a strategic business need. If the cycle is successful, patent mining will produce an answer to the reference question that a manager can then use to develop a course of action to solve the business need. The goal of patent mining, therefore, is to produce targeted, actionable intelligence that can be used by a company to respond to its own unique challenges and opportunities.
