An insight into patent landscape analysis of plant stem cells

摘要

Patent landscapes can be used as a dynamic means for research, business, and for making legal decisions within an organisation, irrespective of whether it is an early-stage or established organisation. This article focusses on details about the various facets involved in the competitive intellectual property landscape process, which include practical methods of obtaining maximum output from a landscape. This article also contains a sample landscape report on plant stem cell based patents that consists of an analysis of patent filing trend, geographical filing trend, key assignees/IPCs/inventors (in terms of highest number of patents), and most cited patents.
