Extracting Useful Information from International Patent Records

本建议旨在：(1)对两项被认为处于生命周期成长期的产品技术进行国际专利分析；(2)确定可在特定技术层面收集分析的非专利技术指标，并对两项技术进行收集；(3)寻找专利指标与非专利指标之间的相关性；(4)利用专利指标确定技术的生命周期阶段并预测未来的技术活动；(5)寻找后续专利引用次数与其他重要或有价值的指标之间的相关性；(6)审查和评估技术创新和技术演进的模型，以确定它们是否可以得到专利数据的支持。该提案的商业目标是基于这项研究开发决策工具。

This proposal aims to: (1) conduct an international patent analysis for two product technologies that are believed to be in the growth stage of the life cycle, (2) identify non-patent technology indicators that can be collected for analysis at the level of a specific technology and collect them for the two technologies, (3) look for correlations between the patent and non-patent indicators, (4) determine the life cycle stage of the technologies using patent indicators and forecast future technological activity, 5) look for correlations between the number of subsequent patent citations and other indicators of importance or value, and determine whether the importance of an invention can be predicted early in its life, (6) review and assess models of technological innovation and technological evolution for whether they can be supported with patent data. The proposal's commercial objective is to develop decisionmaking tools based on this research.
