Patent Landscape analysis

Patent landscape analyses are a crucial tool for businesses, investors, and researchers looking to understand the competitive landscape of a specific technology or field. By conducting a patent landscape analysis, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the art, identify potential patent infringement risks, and make informed business decisions. 

A patent landscape analysis is a comprehensive search of existing patents and published patent applications in a specific technology or field. The purpose of the search is to understand the current state of the art, identify potential patent infringement risks, and make informed business decisions. The search covers all aspects of the technology or field, including its composition, method of use, and design.

Patent landscape Analyses are important because they can provide valuable insight into the competitive landscape of a specific technology or field. By conducting a patent landscape analysis, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the art and identify potential patent infringement risks. This information can help you make informed business decisions, such as whether to enter a new market, invest in a new technology, or collaborate with other companies.

Conducting a patent landscape analysis can be a complex and time-consuming process, but there are several steps we take to make it as efficient as possible:

1. Define the technology or field: Clearly define the technology or field that you want to search. This will help us focus our search and ensure that we're looking for the right prior art.
2. Search for relevant prior art: We start by searching for patents and published patent applications related to the technology or field using the PatBase database.
3. Present the results: We tailor the presentation of our results to each individual client. Some common forms include Patbase Analytics and customised Excel formatting including categorisation, scoring of results and graphical presentations.
4. Consult with a patent attorney: We always recommend consulting with a patent attorney who can advise you on the best course of action in relation to prior art that may be an issue.

Monitor your search: Continuously monitor new patents and patent applications related to your product. We offer Patent Watches which allow you to receive monthly or quarterly updates with any new patents that have been published in your field of interest.
