Patent mapping is a tool for representing complex patent landscapes, that is, creating actionable intelligence. According to Paulal Germeraad, former vice president of research at Avery Dennison, “Frankly, I don’t understand why a company today would try to do R&D without the insights that patent mapping gives them. It’s like trying to navigate the world.” of your company”. blind future without map”.
Maps are graphical representations of various information collected from a variety of sources. Map communication is the component of thematic mapping, the purpose of which is to represent one of many possible outcomes of the knowledge base. Maps are tools for the researcher and patent professional to find and represent patterns and relationships among mapped data. Making associations is an important part of our thinking. We connect all the time. This ability is of great importance in the area of patents.
Rational patent mapping is defined as the interpretive distillation of large amounts of often complex and disorganized data into one or more high-value representations useful for making business decisions. Patent mapping relies on clustering, aggregation, and other operations to extract technological value from patents to highlight specific features and provide information about technological developments in a particular technological domain.
There are no preset limits to representation types. This makes patent mapping as much an art as it is a science, because it must be ensured that these representations can fulfill the role of a knowledge tool rather than visual tools.
