A Closer Look at Our Landscape

Seattle and Sydney offer some beautiful landscape for our offices, however we're talking about the technological and patent landscaping we incorporate into our reports.

Do you fully understand the specific objective and benefits of a Landscape Analysis?  

The first section of our report identifies the Features & Benefits, Innovative aspects, Development Status, Regulatory Hurdles, and Semantic and Patent Landscape to provide a comprehensive technological analysis.  This month, we take a snapshot of our Landscape analysis.  Read on to learn how and why we do them and the extended benefits they provide you.

Technology Landscape - Semantic Mapping

'Organizing' a technology enables us to identify the technological space around an invention. A visual map quickly exposes:

• Emerging technologies
• Competitive products
• Degree of congestion
• Further applications
• Other substitutes

Using open-source knowledge platforms like Wikipedia, which often has the most up-to-date information, is one tool we use to construct semantic maps. 

Patent Landscape - a Global Look

Taxonomy searches provide comprehensive patent trends.  We can quickly illustrate top country filers, main applicants, and patent activity over time. These findings help:

• Observe trends and diversity of solutions
• Identify collaborations
• Engage in policy discussions 
• Strategize further research

WIPO (World Intellectual Propety Organisation) links intellectual property offices worldwide.  Its database searches account for over 90% of the representative patent filings, which serves as a comprehensive tool for looking at data and trends.

How We Handle Your Landscape

The Landscape analysis helps us set up keywords used in the IP (Intellectual Property) searches and competitive analysis. 'Main applicant' filers within WIPO can also lead to new strategic partnerships.

But remember, our Landscape analysis is just a portion of the overall technological assessment. Stage of development, regulatory hurdles and innovation are also integrated into our overall analysis.

Benefits to You

Our landscape analysis is clear, easy to grasp and informative.  All our results have cited reference links, so we encourage inventors and researchers to refine searches and get more detailed information.  You can easily take our results, click on the provided links and continue to fine tune the analysis anyway you like.
