REPORTING ON TECHNOLOGY SECTOR SIZES USING PATENT ASSETS

摘要

System and methods for reporting on the size of a technology sector using patent assets. Information identifying a technology sector is received from a client device. A patent database is queried for a plurality of patent assets associated with the technology sector. An overall financial metric (e.g., revenue, research & development spend, net income) of the technology sector is estimated based on the plurality of patent assets associated with the technology sector. An output for the client device is generated based on the overall financial metric.
