According to different production objectives, patent maps can be divided into patent management maps, patent technology maps and patent rights maps. Different types of patent maps have different information analysis focuses. The combination of the three is a comprehensive excavation of the economic, technical and legal information of patent documents.
Patent management map
Patent management map mainly serves enterprise management. This is based on the number of patents, patent owners, inventors, citation rate, patent classification number, patent years and other different variables to summarize and analyze a large number of data, thus reflecting the overall operating trend of the industry or a certain field. It mainly includes: the trend chart of patent number over the years, the distribution chart of applicants, the growth and decline chart of enterprise patent number, the proportion chart of patent number in the whole country, the comparison chart of enterprise invention lineup, etc.
Patent technology map
Patent technology map mainly serves technology research and development. This is to further study the related patent materials and summarize the classification indexes of important patent documents such as technical categories and efficacy categories. From these charts, we can see the trend of specific technology and further predict the future trend of technology. It is closely related to the decision-making of technology research and development direction, and provides important information basis and reference for strategies such as "evading design", "technical mines" and "technical digging holes" in research and development, so it plays an important role in technological innovation. It mainly includes: patent citation relationship technology pedigree diagram, patent technology/efficacy matrix diagram, patent technology development diagram, etc.
