4. BIG DATA CLUSTERING VISUALISATION ANALYTICS What is Panoramic View Analytics? Proven scientific methods that allow the user to “see and understand” the entirety of large amounts of data rather than “search and reading” of individual pieces of data. 3 Clustering docs by calculating similarities among them Visualization of the similarity among docs Original indicators for mining and insight Patents / Research Papers / SNS News / Annual Reports, etc. VALUENEX ©2017 intellectual innovator
5. What is Panoramic View Analytics? You can get insight for strategy-making by analyzing output (distance, density, white space, distribution, etc.) of the radar chart. 4 The size of each cluster is proportional to the number of documents in it. The distance between clusters indicates the similarities between them. The axes have no particular meaning. Each circle is called a cluster. They contain similar documents.

7. IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION ANALYSIS IN T R OD U C T ION
8. Importance of Technology Information Analysis IP / Technology information analysis can support management / business / R&D / IP strategies. 7 Ref: http://www.jpo.go.jp/shiryou/toushin/nenji/nenpou2004_pdf/honbun/3-1-2.pdf Business Strategy R&D Strategy Intellectual Property Strategy • Utilizing IP/technology information for making business strategies, such as new business development, business collaboration, etc. • Acquiring rights from view points of attack, defense, and prevention based on business strategy. • Utilizing IP/technology information for analyzing one’s technology capabilities and deciding R&D focus. • Utilizing IP/technology information for selecting partners for R&D collaboration. • Acquiring rights strategically for standardization of one’s technology. • Preliminary survey • Prior art search (R&D, filing, application for examination, etc.) • Other company trend survey (Making patent map etc.) • Acquiring rights (filing patent, trade secret) • Protection and utilization of rights (own monopoly, license, measures against counterfeit products and management of technology / know-how in foreign markets) IP / Technology Information Analysis Management Strategy VALUENEX ©2017 intellectual innovator Figure: Relationship among 3 types of management strategies
9. Importance of Technology Information Analysis There are various technology information analyses according R&D and IP cycles. 8 Basic / Application Research Development Design Production Commercialization Marketing Sales Technology trend analysis Collection search Prior art search (Pre-filing search) Invalidity search Clearance search, FTO Technology assessment R&D cycle Technology Information Research / Analysis Figure: Relationship among IP, R&D and technology information research / analysis Ref: Atsushi Nozaki: Patent Research and Search Technique (2015) [Japanese] Creating inventions Making IP strategy Protecting inventions Filing, Rights, Patent portfolio Utilizing inventions One’s usage, Licensing IP cycle VALUENEX ©2017 intellectual innovator
10. How do you perform technology information analyses? 9 Simply reading? VARIOUS TYPES OF INFORMATION • Patents • Academic papers • Research grants • Cloud funding • Start-up information, etc. VALUENEX ©2017 intellectual innovator HUGE VOLUMES • Doc number: thousands ~ millions • Length: long…
11. Volume of Technology Information on “Stem and iPS cells” • Volume: Technology information volume on stem / iPS cells is enormous. • Time: It takes an excessive amount of time to get insight by simply reading. • Difficulty: It is difficult to classify by keywords, inventors, etc. because there are various research themes. • Risk: If you set keywords for classification in advance, you may miss new research opportunities. 10 * The number of documents including “stem cell” or “ips cell” Patents Academic papers Research grants Volume 10,000 (Title, Abstract, Claim) 50,000 (Full text) 245,000 60,000 Source US application (DB: PatentSquare) PubMed NIH Table: Volume of patents, academic articles, and research grants on Stem / iPS cells* VALUENEX ©2017 intellectual innovator
12. Technology Information Features There are many differences among features of patents, academic papers, and research grants. 11 Patents Academic papers Research grants Overview Patent is for protecting one’s R&D achievements and manufacturing / selling products. Academic article is for informing others of one’s R&D achievements. Thus, it is sometimes not with the intention to sell achievements as products. Research grant is for gathering R&D from organizations. It is published by the funding organization unlike patent and academic research. Player Company > University, Research institution University, Research institution > Company University, Research institution > Company Sentence characteristics ˚: Patent should be written concretely because the other engineers must be able to implement it. However, patent has the legal and strategic perspectives. Thus, it is sometimes not easy to read. ˓: Academic article is written for easy reading because it is intended for the general public. ˓: Research grant is written for easy reading because it is intended for the general public. Bibliographic information Format ˓: Unified globally (INID) ˚: Depend on the journal ˚: Depend on the funding organization Classification ˓: Unified globally (IPC) ˚: Depend on the journal ˚: Depend on the funding organization Citation ˚: Citation by applicant includes arbitrariness. In the case of citation by examiner, arbitrariness is small. ˓: Arbitrariness is less than patent. - Others Number, Inventor, Assignee, Date, etc. Author, Organization, Impact Factor, etc. Researcher, Organization, Earned amount, etc. Availability ˓: You can get full text easily and free or with minimal cost because patent is open data, and there are many database options. ˚: There are many free / paid database options. You can get “Title” and “Abstract” easily for free or with minimal cost. Full text might be expensive. In the case of publication on web, data processing might be necessary. ˚: Funding organization may provide search database. However, it depends on the funding organization. You can get research overviews and achievements (academic articles, patents, technical reports, etc.) VALUENEX ©2017 intellectual innovator
