What is a Patent Landscape Search?

A Patent Landscape Search (also called Patent Mapping) is an intensive investigation into patent filing activities in a particular technological field. Engaging with professional patent landscape analysis services, patent mapping services, and an IP landscape analysis goes beyond a mere patent listing and reveals who is innovating, what new technologies are being developed, and, most importantly, how many areas that remain unexploited still exist. Utilizing advanced patent analytics, IP landscaping, and a comprehensive IP search, this strategic patent landscape study uncovers critical market opportunities.

Why Do Global Innovators Need a Landscape Study?

• Identify White Spaces — Uncover gaps in technology areas not yet covered by competitors in order to innovate in a whole new area of technology development. This comprehensive technology white space analysis and search for patent gaps highlights the hidden tech white space in your market.
• Competitive Analysis — Assess the technology directions of leading companies in order to understand their future product innovations. Utilizing a competitive patent landscape mapping strategy allows you to build strong patent competitor intelligence and closely monitor competitor IP.
• Risk Mitigation — Save money on reinventing something that has already been done ("reinventing the wheel") or developing "patent thicketed" technologies. Implementing a proactive IP risk mitigation strategy alongside precise IP risk tracking ensures long-term business security.
• Mergers and Acquisitions Target Identification — Identify smaller companies that can be good acquisition targets.

Our Approach: How We Map Your Domain

• Taxonomy Building — We develop a customized hierarchical taxonomy for segmenting the technology into logical subcategories. This forms a core pillar of our patent landscape search methodology and domain mapping process, often incorporating a precise CPC and IPC patent classification search.
• Extraction of Data — We collect a large volume of patents and NPLs for our analysis from our proprietary patent database during this exhaustive custom patent database analysis.
• Data Cleaning — We process raw data and consolidate subsidiaries under their respective parent organizations to ensure a highly accurate patent analysis.
• Visual Analysis — We create visual representations using Heat Maps, Citation Networks, and Bubble Plots. These interactive patent charts are part of our advanced patent analytics and visualization and IP visualization suite.
• Strategic Recommendations — The final report provides insights for making business decisions on where to innovate next.
