2. Top Assignees, Applicants and Inventors Ranking Function of Reference Cited Patents.
  When you display all citing patents, you can now view top applicants and inventors. See how frequently a company/inventor is citing a patent. This provides insight into where patent rights are being sold to.
  For example, 85% reference cited of USP7,673,066 are Apple’s patents. it strongly indicates the Apple developing or selling related technology.

3. New Patent Evaluation Index “PI Score (-)”
  We introduced new patent evaluation index “PI Score(-)”. PI Score(-) indicates broader but less reference cited patents.
  This score, but it sheds light on infrequently cited patents. Based on this index, you can uncover important patents you would have otherwise missed during citation analysis.

4. Improvement Patent Viewer
The citation number, PI Score and PI Score(-) are now visible on the patent display screen. Check these patent evaluation index for each patent so you can be fully aware of its importance as you conduct your patent inspection.

Patent Evaluation Index “PI Score” Improvement

  We updated algorithm of PI Score (Patent Score or Patent Index) which is WorldWide patent database Patent Integration‘s original patent evaluation index.

  With these improvements, the user can quickly and comprehensively find strong patents based on scope of patent rights and citation references. To use, just choose sorting based on PI score from the search results summary.

  The difference between number of cited (impact factor) and PI Score is as follows.

  • Citation index: The number of times it has been reference cited in other patents. This index indicates invention’s technological value.
  • PI score: This evaluates the scope of the rights in the patent application using text mining techniques. This index indicates the broadness of patent rights.

  For prior art search, high number of cited patents are important. On the other hand, for patent infringement research (before product launch), broadness high PI score patents are important. Of course there are many patents evaluated high both number of cited and PI score.
  Next, we will introduce a benchmark using the PI score of technologies honored at the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation‘s 2011 Japan Innovation Awards.


Imperial Invention Award, Sony Corporation
Basic structure and production method of Blu-ray Disk. (JP3241560, USP5846626 is family.)

  • PI Score: #10 of 3504 patents (IPC-FI: G11B11/00) (146 point).
  • Number of Cited: #12 of 3504 patents (33th cited).

  This invention is a basic patent for Blu-ray Disc. It is excellent for both citation number and PI score. This indicates that the patent invention is outstanding in the field of information storage technology.

1.
An optical recording medium capable of recording and/or reproducing an information by using a laser beam, comprising:
a support layer having an information signal-recording portion on one side surface thereof on which said laser beam is incident;
and
a transparent layer disposed over said support layer and having a thickness not more than 0.5 mm;
and
a reflective layer interposed between said support layer and said transparent layer.

Basic structure and production method of Blu-ray Disk. (JP3241560)

Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, Fujifilm Corporation
Inkjet ink having excellent preservability. (JP3949385, USP7087107 is family.)

  • PI Score: #13 of 5618 patents (IPC-FI: C09D11/00) (611 point).
  • Number of Cited: #55 of 5618 patents (22th cited).

  This patent rated #55 by the citation number. But #13 by the PI score. Important technology is evaluated high in the PI score.

Inkjet ink having excellent preservability. (JP3949385)

Minister of economy, trade and industry Award, Daikin Industries, Ltd.
Control technology capable of handling air humidity control. (JP3624910, USP7472553 is family.)

  • PI Score: #68 of 6049 patents (IPC-FI: F24F11/00) (47 point).
  • Number of Cited: #260 of 6049 patents (8th cited).

  This patent rated #68 by the PI score and the relatively higher scores. User can discover important patents in less time by using our PI score.

1.
A humidity controller apparatus which takes in a first air stream and a second air stream and supplies to an indoor space either the first air stream dehumidified or the second air stream humidified, wherein: the humidity controller apparatus comprises a first adsorption unit and a second adsorption unit, each of the first and second adsorption units having a respective adsorbent which is brought into contact with air, the humidity controller apparatus is configured to perform, repeatedly alternately at a predetermined switching time interval, a first operation in which the second air stream is humidified as a result of regeneration of the adsorbent of the first adsorption unit while, simultaneously, the first air stream is dehumidified in the second adsorption unit and a second operation in which the second air stream is humidified as a result of regeneration of the adsorbent of the second adsorption unit while, simultaneously, the first air stream is dehumidified in the first adsorption unit, and the humidity controller apparatus is provided with interval set means for setting the predetermined switching time interval depending on the load of the humidity controller apparatus.
