Patent Landscape Analysis
Patent Landscape Analysis
Patent landscaping is a multi-step process of examining, organizing, and extracting value from in-depth patent search results in a specific technology area. Landscape research consists of a set of references and accompanying analytics from which important technical, legal, and business information can be extracted.
Patent landscaping provides a basis for understanding which enterprises, companies, & institutions are working in a particular area, gaining current awareness on a given technology, what technologies are being targeted, how the technical problems are being solved, gaps in the technologies, where the patents are being filed, who are the key inventors, and which product features are disclosed.
This information helps an organization monitor its competitors’ patent landscape activity, generate novel technologies, design around competitor’s technology, identify licensing options and reduce legal risks, optimize R&D processes, business development, and marketing strategies, and develop a comprehensive IP strategy.
Challenges Faced While Conducting Landscape Analysis
As large set of data is to be analysed, so a well structured approach is needed
Complete manual landscape research & analysis resulting in a higher cost of review
No integration with recent AI & ML-based analysis technologies
Limited landscape research capabilities reduce the scope of covering comprehensive datasets related to the patent landscape analysis
Insights are not released through a unified platform, and no interaction with multiple data sources or cutting-edge analytics tools exists
Our Services
Patent/non-patent literature data mining
Identify and list the group of patents/publications by manual or automatic mode, non-patent literature, commercially available products, and all other relevant materials relating to the technology domain.
Standardization of the retrieved references and the bibliographic data is performed.
Patent categorization
Categorization of a list of relevant patent or non-patent literatures into the various technologies or sub-technologies domains. The categorization is performed semi-automatically using the proprietary AI based tool.
Graphical analytics
Provide relevant insights into the technology development over the years in terms of patenting activity and predict the future technology growth in the upcoming years.
The insights are presented in the form of 3D, visual analytics relating to technology and its segmentation, IP basic trends, citation analysis, and competitive patent landscape analysis.
The analytics can be illustrated by pie charts, bar charts, radar charts, bubble charts, line charts, area-based charts, and matrices.
Our Methodology
The TTC team focuses on providing valuable, actionable insights based on comprehensive and detailed patent landscape analysis and helps to understand the contemporary and future trends in a particular technology and explore rewarding business product development opportunities.

FAQs
What is patent landscape analysis?
Patent landscaping is an analysis of data that reveals business, scientific and technological trends.
Landscape analysis is a concise report on the patent situation, and helps you gain current awareness of a given technology and help you formulate development strategies that would help you expand and improve on that particular art.
Landscape reports typically focus on a single industry, technology, or geographic region.
What are the benefits of performing landscape analysis patent landscaping?
Landscape analysis provides a map for navigating the competitive landscape, and is essential in establishing strong innovation identification, capture, and management programs at any enterprise.
It helps researchers and scientists learn about the current state of the art and learn important details about a given technology and potentially build, improve, or modify that art. It also helps to identify who are the important owners of the technology which further helps in considering potential mergers/acquisitions, licensing, etc.
It helps in competitive patent landscape analysis by providing early insights into what competitors and their inventors have in the development pipeline and on what products competitors are betting which further helps to determine the phase of the technology.
It helps to identify technologies where potential innovations may be barred because of numerous patent references or broad patent claim language. Experts can assess new R&D opportunities by finding gaps in the landscape (patentability, novelty or, “white space” analysis) and hence form an overview of how 'crowded' or 'open' a technological area is.
What are the key steps in conducting landscape research and analysis?
- Establish the purpose of the patent landscape analysis and identify the boundaries of the technology area of focus.
- Search, review, and refine the subject matter and perform further data clean-up and normalization
- Review and sort the patents within each relevant technology, product and/or application sub-category.
- Create charts/tables and visualizations providing the insights from the data.
What are the risks involved with patent landscape search?
The technological area is constantly evolving and the landscape changes significantly every now and then, therefore, landscape analysis does not hold valid for a long time. Also, comprehensive landscape research and analysis is costly, and not all companies can afford it.
Also, it is always a challenge to represent insights from such comprehensive and voluminous landscape reports and provide analysis that can be easily interpreted and consumed by the users.
