What is patent analysis? Why do you want to conduct patent analysis?

When we get a patent, we need to analyze it. Through patent analysis, we can know the status of this technology in the industry and the prospect of this field, so as to better help the patent industry. So what is patent analysis? We will answer this important question for you. Patent analysis is to analyze, process and combine a large number of fragmentary patent information in patent specifications and patent bulletins, and use statistical methods and skills to transform these information into competitive intelligence with overall and predictive functions, thus providing decision-making reference for the development of technology, products and services of enterprises. Patent analysis is not only the premise for enterprises to compete for patents, but also provides useful information for enterprises to formulate technical strategies and evaluate competitors. Therefore, patent analysis is a unique and practical analysis method in enterprise strategy and competition analysis, and it is also one of the commonly used analysis methods in enterprise competitive intelligence. What is the process of patent analysis? The specific work of patent information analysis is mainly divided into the above seven links, namely, defining the analysis object and purpose, industry market and technology research, patent information retrieval, data processing, patent information visualization, data analysis and project acceptance. In the era of big data, complex patent information becomes easy to understand. Mining and analyzing the potential value behind patent information can enable enterprises to take the initiative in technology and market competition and play the real role of patent information. The visualization of patent information analysis can realize the effective, intuitive and rapid transmission of patent information and improve the efficiency of enterprise patent management. The so-called patent information visualization, also known as information design and data visualization, aims to analyze and organize data and information through reasonable design methods, so that data and information can be displayed and disseminated in a reasonable way. In the author's view, patent information retrieval is the basis of patent information visualization, and patent information visualization is the manifestation of patent information retrieval results. Patent information visualization expresses rational thinking through artistic means. In short, it is to present the results of patent information analysis and mining clearly and effectively in a visual way, so that the boring patent information data becomes more intuitive and people who don't know patents can read the patent information analysis data. Why do you want to conduct patent analysis? Patents are the largest source of technical information in the world. According to empirical statistical analysis, patents contain 90%-95% of the global scientific and technological information. But such a huge information resource is far from being fully utilized by people. In fact, for enterprise organizations, patents are the only place where competitors have to disclose some key information to the public, and these information will not be disclosed elsewhere. Therefore, the analyst of enterprise competitive intelligence can obtain a lot of useful information from patent literature through careful, rigorous, comprehensive and relevant analysis, so that the public patent information can be used by enterprises, thus realizing its unique economic value.
