How to unpack the Miscellaneous cluster
The platform will present a maximum of sixteen technology clusters. If a group of patent families creates more than sixteen clusters, the clustering tool will group the remaining families into ‘miscellaneous’. If relevant to your reporting, this miscellaneous cluster can then be broken down into further clusters for your analysis. There is an easy way to explore this cluster by breaking it into technologies and using it as a starting point for a new report:
1. In the Technologies tab, leave only the Miscellaneous selected
2. Go to the Data List view
3. From the options drop down, click on 'Create new report'
4. Click on 'Options' and 'Create new report'
5. Name your new report when prompted
6. Click 'create' and build your report This new report will help you explore the 'Miscellaneous' cluster in more detail.
