Limits The size of your HDU, The speed of your processor

The speed of your Internet

Mind: working on patent family, using drawing and first pages

updating your database or upsizing with different requests

increases rapidly the global number of patents of your local

database.

Limit from the host: no more than 2000 patents selected in one year.

The « per month search », will extend the number of patents

downloaded .

Full text: patents, claims, drawings, first pages can be

downloaded « on demand and online » for the patents that your

select from your local database. (text in pdf format)

Main information available in a Patent for

APA analysis

AP -Name of the Patent Assignees (Applicants)

IN - Name of the inventors

PN – PR - Patent number, priority number, extension,

cited patents

IPC - International classification IPC (4 digits or full)

ECLA - (European classification: more precise than IPC)

WORDS - from titles or abstracts

All these data may be used in combination to map R&D,

to see the application domains, the links between technologies,

to detect the best companies, to benchmark activities, etc...

Drawings if present can also be used as a selection item to

Build upgroups.

Patent Map with Matheo-Patent

Patent Map are widely used to facilitate the work of the

Experts which analyse, select and comment the most

relevant data.

Toryod in Thaïland uses widely this technique to map

patents coming from various fields relevant with the

cluster policy developed by the country.

The following slides show some examples of the

systématic treatment used to Map the application or the

Technology.

All the mapping is done using Matheo Patent

Palm oil extract

To prepare the expert’s analysis, strategic information

related to SMEs are extracted from the patent mapping

Conclusion

If you want to work fast you need a tool not only to download

rapidly the patents, but also to analyze the contain of the database

created on your computer.

The databases must be updated. Full text of the patent may be

retrieved on demand, groups of inventions, countries, companies

may be made by the user, automatic report must be build, etc…

This is according to theses features (and to many more) that

the concept of Matheo Patent as been develop. More complete

set of analysis may also be performed with Matheo Analyzer.

With a price tailor made for SMEs, laboratories, individuals

Matheo Patent provides an easy way to use Patent information

for innovation, creativity, and to complement scientific research.
