The next step in Patent analysis is patent mapping. After Patent Analysis we have a list of prioritized opportunities, the visual representation of this analysis is depicted in the Patent Map. A patent map is prepared by the information collected from general patent information in the chosen technological field, processing it and finally analyzing it. It is one of the tools used to examine the IP at present, the risks associated with investing in research in a particular area of technology, opportunities available in a particular sphere of technology. The mapping provides a detailed explanation of the technology, the problems, the solutions applied to solve the problems and the effectiveness of the solutions so offered. It further identifies the competitors and their strengths and strategies.
Patent Landscaping is also known by the name Patent Mapping or patent analytics and is an exhaustive state of art search. This process that recognizes the major competitors in the field, their research work, power and disadvantage etc, facilitates to realize previous and current patent and non patent activities of the opponents in the technology. Previously unidentified perceptions are brought onto spotlight through mapping.Patent Mapping and Landscaping is a graphically presented examination of intricate patent information. The graphical distribution of information discloses the market tendencies over duration and predicts future prospective markets. Patent Mapping consists of a ‘white space’ and ‘gap analysis’ that recognizes the packed and secured research area and brings an understanding of latest possible areas of openings to utilize for the development of IP. Thus Patent Maps/Landscapes are beneficial to:
Our team is well equipped to prepare such reports which would be useful for you to prepare your strategies for business, for plans with regard to research and development in order to gain an edge over your competition.
