A Novel Analytic Framework of Technology Mining Using the Main Path Analysis and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory-Based Analytic Network Process

Tech mining is an analytical method of technology monitoring that can reveal trends in different industries. Patent databases are the major sources for information retrieval by tech methods. The majority commercially viable research and development results world be found patents. time cost greatly reduced if researchers properly analyze patents prior arts. Appropriate analyses also help firms avoid patent infringement while simultaneously developing new products or services. main path analysis a bibliometric which used to derive most dominant paths citation network academic works has widely been adopted tracing trajectory specific science technology. Even though relationships weight associated with some arc network, weights influence among hardly derived based on methods analysis. However, these crucial defining aggregation strategies. Thus, authors want propose novel analytic framework consists Decision-Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), DEMATEL Analytic Network Process (DANP) proposed path. Empirical cases published work nanowire field effect transistors from database United States Trademark Office will demonstrate feasibility framework. empirical as basis evaluation, designing around innovation.
