Conclusions
- Almost3 decades of patent application & grant dynamics
may be easily modelled with S-curves
- S-curve trends may support businesses with trend scouting
- Business alignment may be improved
- The S-curve parameters seem to generally agree with
differing treatment of software patents in various jurisdictions
- A specific interpretation of the individual S-curves and further
trend attributions would be relevant, needs further research
- Time dependence might support topical IP searches as a
cross check
