PatentLab-II		 Updated: Nov 29, 2004


What it is:
PatentLab-II is an analytical and visualization tool that enables the creation of 2D and 3D graphs and charts comprised of your Result Set. You can visualize relationships among large selections of patent data through a wide variety of customizable charts, graphs, tables, and reports, providing insight into patent information that might go unobserved in a manual review of documents.

You can quickly get an overall picture of your data through ready-made reports. A wizard is available to assist in creating a visual presentation of patent information based on assignee, inventor, patent class, priority or patent year, or country. Create your own graphs based on over 35 user selected fields.

What to use it for:
Use PatentLab-II results to identify and analyze:
  • Trends in innovation
  • Key focus areas and new development projects of competitors
  • Current accomplishments of important inventors
  • Companies most active in a particular technology and level of activity
  • Most active inventors in a specific technology or patent class
 Note: PatentLab is not designed to accommodate Derwent data.
