Landscape Analysis
This research analyzes relevant scientific and technical information, major trends, white spaces and gaps within a particular domain and market; evaluates key competitors and their products and patents; also predicts trends in next few years for aligning R&D strategy with business strategy.
Competitive Intelligence
The study is a thorough competitive analysis on patent assets in a specific technology domain; highlights major roadblocks to technology or product development, identifies opportunities for R&D and future product development, patenting, licensing, etc. The report evaluates products, people, companies, best practices, and provides insights on competition within a defined market.
Portfolio Review
The study organizes client’s patents by creating a taxonomy using patent classification codes or client’s business requirements, and analyzes each patent within its classification. This taxonomy catalogs and examines patents by technology domains and sub-domains describing key elements of their technology, and also evaluates portfolio’s sustainability within a defined market.
Licensee Study
The search is conducted within a specific technology domain and market to understand and evaluate existing product and patent portfolio to determine in-licensing needs and out-licensing opportunities.
White Space
This search is focused on identifying lightly patented areas and potentially patentable areas within a technology domain, and typically used to guide competitive, defensive, licensing, collaborative, and most importantly the R&D activities. The analyses involves understanding the distribution of patents and patent applications in various jurisdictions across a range of sub-domains of studied technology.
Alerts
This report continuously monitors and analyzes trends within specific technology domains and markets; studies business indicators and latest developments within patent or non-patent areas. |
