 Data analytics is heart of every model aimed at spurring innovation.
 Unique combinations as foundation to spur innovation.
 Collaborations have led to recent advances including neuro-stimulators, stent
technologies, biomarkers, robotic assistance and implantable electronic devices.
 Today, the ratio of tangible to intangible assets has inverted - nearly 80% of
corporate value resided in intangible assets as reported by analysis of S&P 500
market value.
 While strategic buyers have been acquiring assets to add new growth engines to
their portfolios, they have been divesting noncore assets, creating attractive
carve-out opportunities for private equity.
Why you need Patent Analysis done for your
portfolio..????

AN EXAMPLE OF TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION AND EVOLUTION USING PATENTS
FOR YEAR 2010 WITH “GOOGLE” AS ASSIGNEE
We present an approach to efficiently generate
effective intelligence on emerging technology
landscapes. This approach draws on monitoring
technical data and bibliometrics to mine the wealth
of information available in major public and
commercial electronic databases. The approach uses
new software to expedite secondary analyses of
database searches on topics of interest. We illustrate
the range of information profiles possible by
examining research and development (R&D)
publications and patents pertaining to technology of
interest.
The report presented herein, would be focused on applications filed by
google in year 2010. Data collected for this research and analysis is
obtained from public domain and analytical tools and techniques
employed by author have been developed by author through years of
learning and experimentation.
Purpose of this report is to present to you a glimpse of what a detailed
innovation mapping study can do for your organization’s licensing
opportunities.
This reports includes following sections:
1. Analysis of applications filed in year 2010
2. Backward Citation analysis
3. Forward Citation analysis – generation 1
4. Forward Citation analysis – generation 2 to observe code shifts.
5. Lateral citation analysis for years 2010 and 2011
6. Comparisons between first and second generation forward
citations
Purpose of the study: Author aims are ultimately doing same analysis
as presented above for application years 2010-2014 for GOOGLE, and
compare technical field shifts and citation assignee shifts.
Benefits: Such a study would help GOOGLE Inc., in identifying new
research areas and also utilize existing portfolios for pro-bono
licensing and technology stewardship in cross industry sectors.
Such innovation maps present a holistic tools for scientifically
identifying gaps in technology and opening new avenues of research.
These charts by themselves may not convey business intelligence, but they
open a pathway towards developing detailed knowledge maps, which in
turn can be used for revenue generation.
There are a number of other multi dimensional charts that author has
been developing over the years. This presentation consists a glimpse of
technology diffusion mapping process and landscape analysis.

Such an analysis where
a portfolio is coming
from in terms of
technical fields. Such an
analysis yields great
results when mapped
against manually
created taxonomy.
This diagram presents an
easily comprehensible
view of what a
particular competitor or
corporation had been
doing in which technical
domain in which year.
In this case also, value
derived can be
increased many fold if
instead of patent
classification codes, one
uses , ones own
technology breakdown
structure.
