From what aspects can enterprises carry out patent mining?
There are three ways for enterprises to obtain patent rights: one is to apply for independent research and development, the other is patent transfer, and the third is patent license. Among them, the first way to obtain the patent right can not only reflect the core competitiveness of the enterprise, but also have low use cost, which is the most important way for the enterprise to obtain the patent right. So what aspects should enterprises start with in patent mining? Enterprise patent inquiry comes first, starting from technical transformation projects. Enterprises with technological transformation projects should regularly organize technological transformation projects to form technical data, and analyze and retrieve patents according to the technical data. If the patent search is novel, you can apply for a patent. Second, start with research and development projects. If the enterprise has an R&D project, analyze the R&D project, find out the technical part to complete the project task, organize it into technical data, and conduct analysis and patent search according to the technical data. If the patent search is novel, you can apply for a patent. It should be noted that if the R&D project is complex and has multiple sub-tasks, then it is necessary to split the technical content for a single technical problem and organize it into multiple technical materials. Third, start with innovation. If an enterprise has technological innovation, it can carry out reverse engineering from the innovation point, deduce the technical elements from the results, sort out every technical scheme that can realize innovation into technical data, and then analyze and search patents according to the technical data. If the patent search is novel, you can apply for a patent. Fourth, start with the existing patents of competitors. According to the actual needs of the enterprise, analyze the existing patents of competitors and find the target tasks of interest. After locking the target task, replace or improve the technical scheme of the existing patent, or sort out the relevant technical content of the existing patent layout into technical data, and then carry out relevant analysis and patent retrieval. If the patent search is novel, you can apply for a patent. There is a certain degree of information inequality in the production and operation of most enterprises, and independent research and development technology is often in the hands of production personnel. If there is no special R&D center or technical information collection and sorting department such as technical transformation management team in the enterprise management, it is impossible to accurately understand the independent research and development strength of the enterprise, and the independent research and development technology is easily lost with the flow of personnel, causing serious losses to the enterprise.
