Number of citations
This graph provides insights into the distribution of the number of citations per patent family in the analyzed results.
The horizontal axis represents the citation count for each patent family, while the vertical axis displays the number of patent families. Citations are documents that are mentioning a specific patent family after its publications.
Suggestion:
Focus on patent families with a higher number of citations, as they are likely to be influential and have a significant impact within the relevant technology domain.
Number of references
This graph provides insights into the distribution of the number of references per patent family in the analyzed results.
The horizontal axis represents the references count for each patent family, while the vertical axis displays the number of patent families. References are documents mentioned in a specific patent family, before its publications.
Suggestion:
Pay attention to patent families with a higher reference count, as they are likely to have a greater impact and influence within the relevant technology domain. Observe the reference patterns over time to identify emerging technology trends or areas of increasing interest within your field of study.
Patent value
The patent value pyramid provides insights into the patent value distribution of the patent families within your result list.
The value of a patent family is an estimation of its monetary value. It is calculated using Octimine's proprietary algorithms, which are calibrated using a combination of inventor survey data, auction data, licensing information, and renewal data. The chart categorizes the patent families into different impact classes based on their economic significance.
Suggestion:
Analyze patent families that fall within the ‘very high’ category, as they are likely outstanding in their respective technology fields.
Patent risk
The patent risk pyramid provides insights into the risk distribution of the patent families within your result list. Risk is computed using Octimine's proprietary algorithms and measures the likelihood of a patent or members of the patent family being involved in post-grant review, opposition, invaliding proceedings, or litigation. The chart categorizes patent families into different risk classes based on their likelihood of legal disputes. An "N/A" designation indicates no risk estimation available, while a family with ‘very high’ risk implies a higher probability of triggering a legal dispute compared to those labelled with ‘low’ risk.
Suggestion:
Analyze patent families that fall within the ‘very high’ category, as they are likely outstanding in their respective technology fields.
Patent value over risk
The chart combines the value and risk of the analyzed results.
Both parameter are computed using Octimine's proprietary algorithms. The value is an estimation of its monetary value, while the risk measures the likelihood of a patent or members of the patent family being involved in post-grant review, opposition, invaliding proceedings, or litigation.
Suggestion:
Use this grouping to understand the most interest set of results, focusing your attention on the ‘very high’ categories.
Patent recency
The patent recency chart visualize the different innovation speeds in your analyzed results
It measure the median duration between the filing dates of a patent and the overall set of patents referenced in search reports. A shorter median duration indicates patents building on one another within a short amount of time.
Suggestion:
Patent families with shorter recency may indicate recent trends, innovations or improvements, offering potential competitive advantages over older technologies.
