PATENT LANDSCAPE

The analysis and organization of the results of an extensive research covering a specific technology sector, or “patent landscape”, defines the “map” of existing patent constraints, and provides essential information on competition and the trends of development of the sector. This allows to direct research and development activities towards strategic objectives, avoiding an unnecessary duplication of research efforts, to mitigate the risks of interfering with others’ rights, to identify licensing and acquisition opportunities, and to develop a strategy for protection.
