How did you learn about patent integration?
I searched the "patent database" from a search engine and found out about the existence of your service. As a result of a free trial including services of other companies, we selected Patent Integration because it is easy to use.
What is the purpose of using patent integration?
Patent search/analysis service (patent search/analysis service) that enables patent search and analysis because it is necessary to evaluate the technologies owned and lacked by each company in the analysis of other companies in the same industry-especially in the examination of alliance partner companies in their own business. We are using it as an analysis tool).
In particular, it is used to search for technological development and patent information when evaluating non-financial information of companies.
What kind of functions are you mainly using?
In the past, data was acquired in CSV format from JPlatPat, a free search service provided by the Japan Patent Office, processed in Excel, and patent analysis was performed, which took a lot of time.
By using the "patent map function" of Patent Integration, you can easily aggregate the application trends of each company, such as changes in the number of applications of the target companies, trends in technology development, and what kind of technology area (patent classification) the number of applications is increasing. I am saved because I can do it.
