Roadmap and Patent Analytics Reports

We offer three kinds of resources that get your roadmapping, invention assessment or innovation strategy project off to a flying start.  Our focus is to provide the hard-to-win insights right at the very front end of the innovation process.

The resources assemble evidence to inform your innovation planning and decision making. We offer:

  1. Roadmap Analytics Reports
  2. Patent Analytics Reports
  3. Invention Triage Reports

Roadmap Analytics

We search our library to identify relevant prior art roadmaps for your industry and market space.  We distil the key themes from the roadmaps and summarize them. The themes covered include: state of the art, shifts and changes, gaps and challenges, new and emerging capabilities, and a key performance metrics timeline. The assembly of the most relevant existing roadmap data into a single easy to read document highlighting the most important issues provides an ideal place to begin your roadmapping or innovation strategy effort.

Patent Analytics

Based on a clear specification established in consultation with you we conduct a search of patent databases and develop a report that highlights the major existing and emerging technology development themes together with the most active companies and organisations operating in the defined space. Analysis of the technology trajectories evident from patent analysis is one of the most reliable indicators of innovation investment and therefore new products and services likely to be introduced into your market over the short to medium term. Patent analysis can provide significantly more warning of competitor activity than monitoring your trade publication!

Invention Triage

An invention triage process is a preliminary screening assessment undertaken in an effort to identify high potential projects that may be worthy of significant effort and investment in commercialisation. Invention triage normally considers: intellectual property ownership and rights, protectability, technical development, commercial attractiveness, legal constraints, other more qualitative drivers. Analysis of relevant technology roadmap documents can make a rapid and insightful contribution that helps focus triage efforts in the right industry area and identify the right market segments for identifying potential licensees.
