Patent Intelligence
The results of a Patent Intelligence may be used in many connections, depending on the focus of the searches, e.g.
- As background material for the preparation of product strategies and targeting of development efforts
- To position oneself at the forefront of global technological development and thus avoid fruitless investment in the development of known/outdated technology
- To strengthen the negotiating position of one's business as regards investors, board of directors, etc.
- As a powerful strategic tool in connection with acquisition and sale of businesses
- To identify potential co-operators
- To map out competitive behaviour and market conditions in connection with the planning of marketing strategies.
Product characteristics
A Patent Intelligence is an individually adapted product which may provide information about specific conditions in relation to technological or market-related development. The analysis typically focuses on a technical field, a product group, a competitor or on an entire business sector.
A Patent Intelligence may, depending on the focus area, e.g. provide information about:
- The global invention activities of a business sector and identification of the most active businesses in terms of inventions
- Patent strategies of businesses
- Patent development within technical fields
- Important patents and technological development trends
- Trademark strategies of businesses
- Development within utility model and design protection
- The analyses are tailored to meet specific information requirements.
The results of the search will be presented in an annotated report with surveys, graphs and/or histograms, perhaps supplemented with annexes containing detailed information.
Delivery
Delivery time depends on the scope of the task. Normally, the report will be delivered within 1 month.
