AGENDA
• Patents are cool
• Global trends
• Defining APAC
• China growth
• A quick example
PatentsIncredibly illuminating data points.
Claims are
like recipes
in a
cookbook
The magic
number:
70%
Analysis of
fielded data
for insight.
Data mining
is like a
crystal ball.
Extremely valuable technical information.
Patents are more than just technical documents
Story + Visualizations =
Trends & Insight
Content =
something to investigate
Search + Data =
beginning of a story
Content + Analysis =
interesting story
Insight =
answer market & business questions

Quality vs. quantity: grants and applications
China is #1 for patent applications
1 Output
Patent subsidies help
2 Enticing innovation
Approximately 40% become granted patents

QUICK ANALYSIS: a Chinese application about the “Medical Uses of Chewing Gum”
We expand . . . And gather all of the forward citations of the app
and corresponding family.
Start with a
highly-cited
Chinese
application:
CN1330516A
We find an interesting Chinese app. . .
What’s the market for this like?
Is there competition in this space?
Who might want to license?
By analyzing the forward citations, we find others interested in this invention.
Facts:
Wrigley’s initial application WO2000035298: published in 2000
Cited 139 times
There is a lot of recent interest in this invention.
13
74% of citations to this application are from the last 4 years
Who is interested in this Mars Wrigley invention?
Pfizer accounts for almost half of the citations, followed by Cadbury.
Why is “Big Pharma” citing “Big Gum”?
• We see that this gum is for medical use so it makes sense that Pfizer, a large pharmaceutical, shows interest.
On this landscape map, we find activities of both pharmaceutical and candy companies
But let’s go a bit broader . . what is the landscape like for “chewing gum with medical indications”?
For this we do a classification search:
We find
12,270 records
2772 INPADOC families
3581 DWPI families
= Lots of activity, many filings in multiple countries
Top companies:
Potential Global Market for Medical Gum
TOWARD THE FUTURE . . . • Growth will
continue
• Quality will improve
• Expansion is next
