Using our TechBoundary we redefined the client’s technology space, and so identified other previously unknown patent clusters. The IP Landscape report identified industry players new to the client and fresh industry segments where their patent portfolio coverage could be extended. We used the patent data to generate a list of key experts in the field, identifying their overlapping relationships (illustrated in the inventor network map).
The client used the IP Landscape report in investor presentations leading up to a successful 2nd founding round....One year later the client requested an IP Landscape to assist their strategic planning for entry into a new area of application of the company’s core technology.
The inventor network map helps users identify who the key experts in a field are, what other inventors and organisations they have worked with in the past. The tool has been used by past clients to identify collaboration and hiring opportunities, and to understand the key relationships in an industry.
