Break down a cluster into sub-clusters
The clustering mechanism within the Classification platform will break down portfolio(s) into technology clusters. You can then analyse a specific cluster in more detail by breaking it down into what we call 'sub-clusters'.
1. From your report, filter your results. Select the portfolio of interest and the technology you want to separate
2. Go to the Data: Patent families list view. This view will show you all patent families that reflect your filtered results i.e. from the image above, the patent families list view will show you the number of patent families that fall into the one technology cluster selected.
3. Create a new report. Click 'Options' and 'Cluster This List'. Cipher will a report with sub-clusters from the filtered results.
