A patent landscape provides a bird's-eye view of the
patenting activity related to a specific technology. It can be an
invaluable tool for your organization as the analysis of patent
data reveals business, scientific and technological trends.
Indeed, many industries increasingly rely on patent landscapes
to provides a basis for understanding innovation activity in their
field. A landscape can tell you which organizations are working in
your field, where they file their patents, who are their key
inventors, and much more. The information derived from a patent
landscape analysis can help you identify whether competitors are
encroaching on your core market, design around others'
technology, identify licensing and M&A targets, headhunt new
talent, and reduce legal risks, among others.
