This is a patent analysis service that provides an overview of pending or current patents in a given technical or geographic area. The release of the pertinent PLR (Patent Landscape Report) has the objective of interpreting and evaluating the data available, with clear analysis of innovation and technical-scientific and patent documentation.
A PLR can help any client gain an overview of a technological area and to better understand ideas, problems and research on subjects, development topics and competitors and their placement in the field of patents. Client can thus act in a more conscious and direct way when dealing, for example, with collaborations, optimization of a patent portfolio, the prioritization of investments and the monitoring of competitive activity.
Not taking advantage of this service, however, could compromise the company’s future patent activity or, at least, render it less effective. It is therefore important to seek specialist help in reading a PLR (Patent Landscape Report).
