Patent Analysis with Innovative Patent Map System

Among the research on patents, the applications of Patent Map to Patent Analysis have been gradually emphasized. For three years, the researchers have applied Patent Map Theory Model to establishing Patent Map System (PMS) assisting decision-makers in Patent Analysis. Based on the system requirements, relevant function components are planned, and UML technology is utilized for the design and establishment of Patent Map Database. In the actual case study on non-glue rubber mat design, the researchers apply PMS to assist WPIC in Patent Analysis. With the concept of Expert Systems to establish PMS, it is used for the research and development in enterprises as well as for patent management. With PMS, enterprises could understand the patent oppression of competitors and monitor the growth and decline of patent right. PMS can benefit enterprises to confirm the distribution of all patent in the industry and assist them in making definite patent distribution strategies.
