Patent Visualisation - Better Actionable Intelligence

Patents are extremely important when configuring the business strategy of technological companies. There are more and more tools that allow you to download and analyse patents in one way or another. Visualisation is a key tool for the analysis and detection of opportunities that is still used shyly.

Patent visualisation is just one more within the possibilities of text mining. Nevertheless, as anyone working in R+D knows, detecting the patents that can prevent us to follow a research line or finding a "hole" where there's nothing patented can be fundamental for the business strategy of a company. Visualisation is vital to open a way through the web of legal text, [sometimes obscure] claims, and the large amount of data that represent the world of patents. We are still an a very preliminar stage in this field.
