Patent Analytics
Patent analytics leverages patent information to reveal innovation insights and trends in specific technology fields. It provides data-driven insights for strategic decisions in R&D, innovation policies, IP commercialization, and more.
The biennial WIPO Technology Trends report, a flagship WIPO publication, offers data-rich IP analysis alongside relevant scientific literature, policy and economic impacts, and discussion from domain experts. This informs and supports business leaders, researchers and policy-makers in their decision-making.
Additionally, WIPO collaborates with Member State partners to produce Patent Landscape Reports, exploring patenting trends in specific technologies.
