10Analyze annual application and issued trends for patents. Understand the trends of patents related to specific technology fields or keywords. Either keywords or IPC classification must be specified.
Obtain a snapshot of frequently occurring keywords/phrases from the most recent 5,000 published patents. Identify common terms for refining searches. Returns up to 100 keywords. Either keywords or IPC classification must be specified.
Provides a two-tiered hierarchical view of keywords/phrases in a technology space. Identify common terms and their associations. Based on the most recent 5,000 publications. Either keywords or IPC classification must be specified.
View the top patents cited most frequently by others, indicating influential or core technology. Returns at most Top 10 patents. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.
Returns the top authorities (priority countries) of origin for patents matching the criteria. Analyze main sources of priority filings. Either keywords or IPC classification must be specified.
Shows the top inventors in the technology field. Evaluate top performers or identify potential recruits. Returns up to the top 10 inventors. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.
Shows the top companies (assignees) with the largest patent portfolios. Identify largest players and competitive threats. Returns up to the top 10 assignees. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.
Provides a breakdown of the simple legal status (e.g., Active, Inactive, Pending) for patents in the technology field. Understand the proportion of patents currently in effect. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.
Identify the patents involved in the most litigation cases, indicating potential risk in a technology space. Returns the Top 10 patents by litigation count. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.
Assess the lucrativeness of a technology space based on the spread of estimated patent valuation (simple families). Higher value buckets indicate more lucrative technologies. Design patents are excluded. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.
