Patent mapping allows visualization of patent data. We use automated processes to generate visually attractive and functionally powerful maps to:

• Identify emerging competitors in a given area    
• Group complex families of patents  
• Perform patent portfolio analysis

Our mapping services have covered medical devices, pharma and biotech, chemistry, nanotechnology, circuit design and business methods. We also provide periodic updates of the maps we generate. Our reports contain detailed information covering patent trends and other relevant data that show how the patent landscape is related to the technologies and products that are being developed. Our reports focus on the interaction between technology, products / solutions, and the supporting IP. Our experts provide analysis of the data in the IP Competitive Landscape Report. Our reports address issues such as :

• How the company's IP is positioned relative to competitors
• Who are all the dominant players in the field
• Who are the emerging players
• What technologies are being pursued by the most successful companies
• How to utilize IP mapping to effect business decisions
