PatentSight

Since patent data is "alive" and the PatentSight database is constantly being updated and improved, the exact reproduction of analysis results from the past may not be possible at a later point in time. However, you can save your search results and your analysis results by using one of PatentSight’s export options. It may also be useful to regularly tag the set of patent families obtained as se...

The Competitive Impact deciles are formed by sorting all active patent families in the PatentSight database by their Competitive Impact and subsequently dividing the patent families in this ranking into ten equal groups from the top to the bottom. As a result, the global top 10% of the patent families by Competitive Impact form the Competitive Impact decile "10", whereas the global bottom 10% o...

While a patent family might no longer be protected in any authority and therefore have a Market Coverage and Competitive Impact of "0", it still may be significant for subsequent art, as expressed in the citations it still receives or has already received from other patent families. Therefore, the Technology Relevance is calculated for both active and inactive patent families even after the exp...

The Market Coverage is an indicator of the size of the global market in which the patent family is active. It is calculated on the patent family level based on the gross national income (GNI) of each authority in which the patent family has at least one active member. The GNI of the USA is represented by the value "1" and the GNIs of all other authorities are represented by values relative to...

  The Technology Relevance is an indicator of the technological importance of the patent family. It is calculated on the patent family level based on the number of subsequent art citations (forward citations) the patent family has received. The number of citations received by the patent family is adjusted by three factors: the patent office citation practices, the age of the patent family, and ...

Introduction The Patent Asset Index is an objective measure of global technological strength and innovation. This indicator captures an entire global patent portfolio and considers both the number of patent-protected inventions (patent families) in this portfolio and their quality. The methodology has been developed and validated in scientific research and many years of advising companies on pa...

Introduction Quick Insights is an easy way to access the charts and tables PatentSight has to offer directly from the homepage. As its name suggests, it is a quick access tool to analyses based on simple search filters.  Follow these three steps to utilize the Quick Insights feature: In the filter box, enter the name of a patent owner or a technology field or an SDG category. Sele...

  PatentSight allows you to determine the overall remaining annuity fees of a patent family or a patent portfolio. The calculation is based on annuity fee data from 40 patent authorities. You can find out the entire fees that would occur if a patent family or a patent portfolio was maintained for its remaining lifetime. Alternatively, you can also split the fees by year and by authority. Attrib...

Introduction Custom fields allow you to insert your own data into PatentSight and to analyze groups of patent families predefined by you. However, in contrast to tags, custom fields not only support mapping of text information but also mapping of numeric information to patent families – all you need to do is to import such information into PatentSight. With custom fields, you can map your own t...

How to Use Custom Fields Custom fields can be used as search fields in the search panel, attributes or measures in charts, and groupings and measures in tables. They can also be displayed and edited in the Result List. Once you have imported a Custom Field, you can find it in the section “Custom Fields,” for example when you select a search field. You can manage, edit, or delete existing cust...

Custom Fields that are marked as favorites under Manage Custom Fields are displayed and can be edited in the Result List. The only custom field that is always displayed by default is “Notes.” 1.　Add a custom field, e.g., “Notes”, to the search panel. 2.　Open the → Result List (“Analysis Templates” > “Favorites”) and scroll down in the patent family viewer until you reach cards “Custom Fields” ...

PatentSight conducts a harmonization process to increase the accuracy of owner-related analyses. The process entails manual data verification to define the current owner of each patent family. Furthermore, we complement this process with the latest M&A information and research on former company names and misspellings. Our data harmonization is first conducted automatically by an algorithm. Th...
