TL;DR: A novel method of patent mapping for visualising conflicts between patent claims that incorporates the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), producing a visualisation based on Multi-Dimensional Scaling that can be compared with legal judgments.

TL;DR: The float process is one of the most widely used methods for flat glass manufacturing as it ensures security, high quality and productivity as discussed by the authors, and it is the single most important innovation made in Great Britain since World War II.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of the pre-salt discovery on patent applications in Brazil associated with upstream oil and gas technologies and provided empirical evidence that the discovery significantly affected patent strategizing of multi-nationals companies operating in the upstream oil-and gas industry.

TL;DR: The first X-ray tube was discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen in Wurzburg, Germany, on November 8, 1895, who published on December 28, 1895 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A comprehensive literature review of studies employing patent landscape analysis can be found in this article, where the authors emphasize a need for greater awareness of the limitations of patent data, for improved transparency through harmonized standards for the disclosure of patent methodology, and for cross-disciplinary sharing of best practices in order to develop methodologies tailored to specific research objectives.

TL;DR: In this article, a personal reflection by the author on the need for those patent information professionals working within large corporations to market themselves within their organisation, and hence increase the visibility of the patent information team and demonstrate the strategic value it adds to the organisation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors empirically investigated how firms use essential patents as standard-driven technological knowledge for future R&D, and found that the patent information can serve as a basis for further innovation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed trends and patterns of the Indian Council for Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR)'s, national and international patenting activities which are In-force as of August, 2013.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new methodology to identify patent applications based upon research at nine universities and three university medical centers in the Netherlands and a case study elaborating subsequent, scientifically research based, IP exploitation in several sectors.

TL;DR: A novel three step approach is used, using Linguamatics I2E text analytics software to mine the full text of patents, to identify kinase assay technology information and kinase group information that is associated with therapeutic areas for drug screening.

TL;DR: PerFedPat provides core services to search, using a federated method, multiple online patent resources, thus providing parallel access to multiple patent sources, and enables the use of multiple search tools which are integrated in PerFedPat.

TL;DR: A special technique which examiners at the European Patent Office (EPO) can use and which has been found to work well, especially when there are several search concepts and several technical fields to be searched is dealt with.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the publications and the patent applications published from 1981 to 2011 and assessed the importance of patents as a means of encouraging technological innovation of cyclodextrin technologies.

TL;DR: Conclusions suggest using broad classes together with keywords; looking for synonyms; allowing for two words in compound nouns; using adjacency operators; combining sets of results; and using citation searching as an additional search, especially if little is found, or the invention is difficult to describe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the developments through early GB patents and found that the country was endowed with extensive cheap coal supplies which not only provided cheap energy and a lucrative export trade but also acted as a stimulus to innovation in a wide range of industries well before 1770.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data on publication, and patents, of 347 universities and technical institutes of India from 1970 to 2010 to understand their current research status, and found that though the total number of patents and publications has been increasing gradually, the contribution of Indian academic institutions in patenting is still low and needs to be incentivized.

TL;DR: This paper is to present a complementary technique to these traditional strategies – “forward searching”, and an attempt is made to show which attributes an “ideal” search platform should exhibit.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general overview of patent disclosure as specified in Iranian patent law and regulations is given, and the authors highlight the new promising initiative and introduce the new online database of the Iranian Patent Office and its search features.

TL;DR: In this article, the determinants of Canadian international patent activity at the industrial level were investigated and the empirical results suggest that industrial R&D and value added of Canada and destination countries as well as industrial exports are significant factors of Canadian patent activity abroad.

TL;DR: The most commonly seen patents are invention patents, utility models and design patents as mentioned in this paper, which are the most controversial types of utility models, and the purpose of the utility models is to quickly protect creations of lower technological levels or with a shorter life cycle.

TL;DR: The latest installment of a column describing new developments in free intellectual property information on the Internet shows how technology is changing the way that people think about and act on intellectual property.

TL;DR: This study analyzes a collection of U.S. patents granted in the period between 1990 and 2012 for the subject “automatic document clustering and classification” to identify the most productive organizations and those with a higher impact and compares the generated rankings with those obtained using traditional bibliometric indicators.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for comparative legal validity analysis is proposed for the comparison of first and second instance legal teachings in patent law, based on analysis of 2300 appeal decisions from seven annual batches.

TL;DR: The long history of the attempts to harness the power of the wind to generate electricity from the late 19th century to the present day is outlined in this paper, which discusses the way that the filing of patents has reflected the waxing and waning of enthusiasm for this free, but challenging, resource and the commercial realities of trying to convert an unpredictable and sometimes violent energy source into an economically viable contributor to the world's energy needs.
