Technology mapping and competitor analysis

There is a wealth of competitive advantage available to those who know how to leverage the opportunities presented by international patent databases.

Using specialist search software Haseltine Lake's trained analysts provide:

• Sector landscapes - illustrating the range of patenting activity in a particular technological field.
• Value chain strategies - identifying areas where strategic patenting can block the economic activity of competitors and developing an understanding of technical fields and jurisdictions where it can be commercially critical to own patents.
• Citation data - this may provide an early warning of a competitor's patent that presents an infringement risk. After identification of patent cases in which a key patent has been cited, our analysis will turn the data into actionable intelligence.
• Greenfield markers - indicating low patent density in particular technological areas to create focus for research and development activity.
• Competitor watch - providing regular reports on the international patenting or trade mark activity of named competitors.
• International sector alert - evaluation of patent cases in key research and development countries, e.g. China, South Korea and Japan, in technology sectors of particular interest. Such information can be crucial for informing research and patenting strategies.
