How to search in the SEP Database
How to search in the Standard Contribution Database
Searching for technology generation on the IPlytics Platform is a critical process for understanding the evolution and impact of various technologies across different standards. The ability to filter patents by technology generation such as 4G, 5G or other standard projects like Wi-Fi or video coding standards provides valuable insights into the patent landscape and supports strategic decision-making in industries reliant on standardized technologies.
How does it work?
The platform allows users to filter patents by technology generation such as 4G, 5G or video coding projects and is facilitated by the Technology Generation field, which categorizes SEPs according to their associated technical specifications (TS) numbers or their relevance to various technology generations. Users can choose from a list of predefined technology generations or create custom queries to investigate bridge technologies that span multiple generations. This capability provides valuable insights into the patent landscape and supports strategic decision-making in industries reliant on standardized technologies. The platform offers robust tools for exploring technology generations within both the SEP (Standard Essential Patent) database and the Standard Contribution database, providing users comprehensive insights into the development and implementation of technologies like 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and more.
How to search in the SEP Database
The SEP database on the IPlytics Platform is specifically designed to help users identify patents that are essential for implementing standardized technologies. To search for technology generation within this database, users can utilize the Technology Generation field, which classifies SEPs based on:
- Their associated standard document in the declaration,
- Their provided patent pool information, or
- Their identification based on approach to identify potentially essential undeclared patents.
Users can refine their search by selecting from a list of predefined technology generations or by creating custom queries to explore bridge technologies that span multiple generations. The platform supports the use of Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine multiple search terms and criteria, facilitating more complex and targeted searches. Additionally, the filter bar provides options to further narrow down results based on attributes like active status, granted status, and more.
You can search for specific technology generations in the SEP database by selecting the SEPs tab, and filtering via the 'Technology Generation' query as shown below:
How to search in the Standard Contribution Database
The Standard Contribution database on the IPlytics Platform provides insights into the contributions made by various companies and organizations to standard-setting bodies. To search for technology generation within this database, users can filter contributions by Technology Generation, focusing on contributions relevant to specific technologies like 4G, 5G, or Wi-Fi.
You can search for specific technology generations in the Standard Contribution database by selecting the Standards tab, and filtering via the 'Technology Generation' query as shown below:
By leveraging the search capabilities in both the SEP and Standard Contribution databases, users can gain a comprehensive understanding of technology generations and their impact on industry standards. This information is invaluable for strategic decision-making, competitive analysis, and innovation in industries reliant on standardized technologies.
