The analysis includes process and integration of certain amount of information of the patent documents, using statistical method or data processing approach to make these information valuable in business operation that can be used for overviews and forecast.
Subordinated into Online Guide, Patent Overview, Patent Warning, Patent Trend Analysis, Industrial Patent Analysis, etc, all the Analysis are conducted through reports. It has proved effectively important for enterprises in technical innovation and core competence. The method of Patent Analysis has 3 main phases: Concept Formation, Academic Study, and Tools Conduct.
Types of Patent Analysis Methods
4 types in general: Data analysis, technical analysis, strategy analysis, application analysis.
Data analysis on: data trend, construction, data sorting, data relevance, data clustering
Technical analysis on: Technical efficiency matrix, important patents, technical route map, claims, and patent circumvention
Strategy analysis on: patent technology tracking, patent mining strategy, jointly research strategy, patent layout strategy, patent litigation strategy and patent operation strategy.
Application Analysis on: introduced patent technology, technology in exported business, competitor’s technology, and patent warning and coping strategy.
Patent analysis is a huge task conducted in a professional and specific way. And there is only one way to conduct such analysis for individual patent, so as to ensure the precise and comprehensive patent analysis according to clients’ need.
Patent Excavation
As an important part of the patent strategic implement, the patent excavation is the back bone of the patent portfolio. It refers to the innovative analysis and selection of the intellectual works from the most reasonable perspective of patent protection, so as to guarantee the best strategic advice on the choices of technical solutions and innovation points.
Common types of patent mining
Patent Mining on technology research and development: Based on R&D projects, and focusing on the innovative belt, technology standard construction, and technology improvement
Patent Mining based on existing patents: Focusing on improvement of patent combination, surrounding the core patent of the competitors.
Patent mining based on the theory of TRIZ
Theoretical system of TRIZ
The model for the process of the innovative designing of TRIZ theory
Patent mining based on the research and development program and innovative point
For enterprises, it needs to solve a lot of technical problems in the process of R & D project, and project development is the region where the innovation density is the highest during daily activities in the enterprise, which should be regarded as the key target for patent mining.
The main features of the R & D projects are the complexity, systematicness and uncertain
According to the characteristics of enterprise R & D projects, the patent mining methods should have three characteristics. That is, (1) on the basis of technical analysis; (2) throughout the R & D projects; and (3) subject to corporate patent strategy.
As the main means: 1. To focus on the product structure; 2. To focus on the product function; 3. to focus on product application; 4. to focus on product testing; and 5. to focus on the production of products.
