Patent Landscape

Patent Landscape


Patent Landscape is a search to understand a particular technology area. Many companies order patent landscape to create an internal database of relevant patents revolving around the technology of interest. The trends that emerge from patent landscape can be very helpful for taking business decisions, R&D decisions, gaining insights about competitors, helping R&D team and to find out the white spaces in underlying technology.

The landscape analysis is most useful while developing a new product or at the time of research and development to identify the gaps in the area of interest. Often, patent landscape is clubbed with non-patent landscape to get a complete picture of the technology.

Our team can design a Patent Landscape report that provides executives, technologists, and investors with IP business intelligence about how and to what extent your competitors are protecting their innovations in critical areas of technology. We start with a broad patent landscape and progressively refine the analytics at several levels of detail. This value-rich perspective provides the actionable insight you need to support strategic business and investment decisions and strengthen your patent portfolio.
