Patent landscaping creates a clear view of the patent structure within a technical field, country, region or even globally. The results may also help you decide in which countries to submit your patent application.
A smart patent strategy
You can use the results to:
- Compare your own position with that of your competitors
- Define your exact position within a particular area of technology
- Approach potential licensees or strategic partners
In short, patent landscaping results will put you in a position to adopt a smart patent strategy.
Always in the loop
Of course you are free to make a one-off patent landscaping request, but sometimes it may be smarter to conduct regular searches. This will keep you informed of patent activities:
- in different countries
- of specific other companies
