What are the functions of patent analysis methods?

With the increasingly fierce technical competition in the world, enterprises all over the world have carried out patent strategy research, the core of which is patent analysis, that is, analyzing, processing and combining a large number of fragmentary patent information in patent specifications and patent bulletins, and transforming these information into competitive intelligence with overall and predictive functions by using statistical methods and techniques, thus providing decision-making reference for the development of technologies, 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.

Create background

From 65438 to 0474, the first patent law appeared in the world, which has been more than 500 years. The SPTO Patent and Trademark Office (U America) defines a patent as an invention, which is the license of the inventor's intellectual property rights. As a legal system that encourages invention and creation, promotes scientific and technological progress and economic development, patent has developed rapidly. Up to now, there are 47 million patents in the world, and more than 1 10,000 patent documents are added every year in the world. Because enterprises can obtain the exclusive right to produce and sell the results by developing technology and applying for patents, thus establishing their own competitive advantages, the number of patents has increased so rapidly.

Although patent data is accumulating, people don't realize the potential value that it can be transformed into competitive intelligence. With the acceleration of technological development, technology is becoming more and more important to the survival and competitive strategy of enterprises.
