Patent mapping is an advanced business intelligence service that uses patent data to answer questions such as which R&D projects you should focus on, areas in which you should let patents lapse, in which areas of technology there are licensing opportunities, and where you will find underexploited areas of technology. Patent mapping can therefore provide you with a foundation for decisions if you are considering starting technical development in a new area. This service is also a useful complement to advanced patent analysis concerning technical or competitor trends or to identify possible licensing or infringing parties.
     Patent mapping is carried out by specialists who are skilled at analyzing the results which are presented visually in the form of maps that show the patent landscape.
     We are market leaders in providing patent-based business intelligence, and we regularly use tools like patent mapping, analysis of citations and the like. Please contact anyone of our patent attorneys for further information about what we can do for you in this area.
