Patent mapping and technology landscaping

This programme focuses on building patent maps and technology landscapes from a dataset with explicit scope and relevance criteria.

Participants analyse trends, players, solution clusters, white spaces, and data limitations to support innovation, R&D, and commercialization.

Who this is for

• Patent and technology-intelligence teams

• R&D, strategy, and product leaders

• Technology-transfer, investment, and business-development teams

Core content

• Defining the question, technology scope, and data-acquisition strategy

• Cleaning, grouping, and validating a patent dataset

• Visualizing trends, players, relationships, clusters, and white spaces

• Turning observations into hypotheses and recommendations with stated limitations

• Design a reproducible landscape dataset

• Build a map structure suited to the decision question

• Identify trends, competitors, partners, and gaps for further validation

• Present insights with clear assumptions and data limitations
