  1. Extracting Intelligence from Patent Data Using Wisdomain’s Focust Solution An overview • Presented by: • Jean Archambeault, Information Specialist • 2004 FPTT Annual Meeting • 2004-06-17

  2. Agenda • Introduction : A word on patent analysis • Focust from Wisdomain Inc. : Overview • Why Focust ? CISTI perspective • Web and analysis module • Potential contributions : A few examples

  3. Patent analysis - 1 • Analysis of patent information for assessment of industry / technology / company, identifying trends in R&D, key technologies, opportunities… • Usually part of a larger process, involving integration of different types of information : market analysis, industry news, expert opinions, S&T publications… • Several applications : • Competitive Technical Intelligence, licensing / technology transfer, strategic planning, technology development, IP management…

  4. Patent analysis - 2 • Contributions to the different steps of the decision-making process : • Do we go forward with this project ? • Is this invention worth patenting ? • Do those patents have any impact ? • Is this field crowded or open ? • Who could be interested in our technology ? • Etc. • Metrics and methods used for analysis will depend on the scope and target of the study : scalability

  5. Levels of analysis Client Need # of patents Increasing level of detail Increasing level of metrics 10 000 + Government National policy Company / Organization 5000 + Strategic planning 1500 + Project orientation Group leader / BDO / SIG 150-1500 Commercialization Researcher 25-150 Technical

  6. Focust from Wisdomain Inc. : Overview

  7. Focust from Wisdomain Inc. - CISTI reasons for adoption • Distributed access • Project management / Collaborative tool • User defined fields / Memos / Attached docs. • Dissemination of information • Direct access to patent image (pdf) • Collateral Citations • Cleaning of data • Export data to other analysis tools

  8. Overview of Focust • Web module • Search (saved search + alerts) • Projects management • Citation module • Analysis module (software on PC) • Data cleaning • Multidimensional analysis • Citation / Inventor / Text analysis

  9. Web module Search module Project mgt. Patent viewer Results list

  10. Citation module : forward analysis Citation tree Patent viewer Citing assignee list Citing patents

  11. Citation tree : Full screen

  12. Collateral citation tree Collateral Collateral C F B O Forward Backward

  13. Analysis module • Software on PC, importing data from Web module and exporting to other analysis tools • Can analyze any field, including User defined fields • Data cleaning • Multidimensional, citation, inventor and text analysis • Interaction with Web module

  14. Potential contributions : A few examples

  15. Who are the active assignees - 1

  16. Who are the active assignees - 2 • In this technology, although Nissan and Toyota have similar # of patents (with international family) : • # of applications in last 10 years : • Nissan 82 % Still active • Toyota 19 % Less active • Others, like Daimler-Chrylser and Rolls-Royce have only a few patents but 100% of them have been filed within the last 5 years • Assignees entering the field ?

  17. International patent classification (IPC) • IPC = International Patent Classification, a hierarchicalclassification system used to classify and search patent documents, adopted by more than 50 countries Ex : SECTION G – PHYSICS INSTRUMENTS G 01 MEASURING (counting G06M); TESTING • G 01 B MEASURING LENGTH, THICKNESS, OR SIMILAR LINEAR DIMENSIONS; MEASURING ANGLES; MEASURING AREAS; MEASURING IRREGULARITIES OF SURFACES OR CONTOURS • G 01 N INVESTIGATING OR ANALYSING MATERIALS BY DETERMINING THEIR CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL PROPERTIES • Analyzing classification on a dataset can gives insights on trends and activity of a company / technology / industry Adapted from WIPO Website : http://www.wipo.int/classifications/en/

  18. What is the technolgy landscape / trends ? • Example : Overview of tech. development for a specific assignee • Identifying process development / applications

  19. Patent citation analysis • Newer technology builds on existing technology and part of this is reflected in citation information • Some results of citation analysis : • Landscape of a technology, clusters of patents • Citation behaviour of assignees (building on self / others i.e. innovators / imitators) • Identifying key patents / technology • Technology trail, from process to applications

  20. Where can I find interest for my tech. ? - 1 • Example : Searching for technology applications for potential licensees / technology development • Hints : Generating ideas by identifying applications from citations received by your patents or similar patents from others • Combining citation and IPC analysis to initiate categorization

  21. Citation analysis and IPC Subclasses NRC Institute patents Patents citing NRC Emitting IPC Impact IPC

  22. Citation / IPC Subclass - signal analysis Emitting signal Patents citing NRC Impact signal NRC cited patents

  23. Where can I find interest for my tech. ? - 2 Patent with IPC A61Bciting NRC patent Assignee : JAPAN (Dept. IND. SC. AND TECH.) Ultrasonic pulse temperature determination method and apparatus Claims : 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said specimen is a living organism. 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein said heating step is a heat treatment of cancer in said specimen. NRC patent Device for determining properties of materials from a measurement of ultrasonic absorption IPC : G01N-029/00; G06F-015/20

  24. Collaboration network – NRC Institute Exporting data to other analysis tools
