Patinformatics is a newly emerging science, which involves analyzing set of patent data to discover relationship and trends which would be difficult to see when working with patent documents on a one-on-one basis.
A patent document is a complete disclosure of commercial, scientific and technological information. It is estimated that about 70% of the information disclosed in patents is never published anywhere else. Very often, it is also the earliest disclosure of a new technology or a new product.
A unique and valuable source of scientific and technical information, patent literature is often overlooked and underutilized by market researchers and business professionals. This is understandable, given that until recently it was difficult for everyone to access patent information.
However Internet has made a paradigm shift; patent information is now readily accessible for free on the World Wide Web. Patent offices in most developed nations including new emerging economies maintain web-enabled patent databases containing millions of patent records. The European Patent Office's esp@cenet system alone has more than 70 million patent documents from approximately 90 countries, the earliest dating from the mid-19th century.
Patent information is more than just technological or legal information. Some of the practical applications of patent information include: Management of Research and Development (R&D), Competitor Monitoring, Technology Assessment, New Venture Evaluation, Input for Licensing Strategy, Supporting Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and Human Resource Management. In today's complex knowledge-driven economy, effective use of patent information while developing and introducing a new product may determine the success or failure of the product and, in turn, the success or failure of the company itself.
Our previous conferences have mainly focused on the use of Patent Information for Research Planning and Technology Management. This third conference is focused on use of Patent information for Corporate Planning and Business Development. The leading practitioners from industry are going to make presentations along with case studies on various topics related to the theme of the workshop.
There are also very specialized value added paid databases such as STN/SciFinder, Thomson Innovation, Derwent, Questel Orbit, Patent Café, Total Patent etc. which are available for patent document retrieval. The semantic patent search technology has revolutionized patent research. In addition there are software tools for analysis and visualization of patent data. Some of these vendors will conduct workshops on use of their products and services.
