Background and Challenges
• What is a patent landscape?
“Patent landscape reports provide a snap-shot of the patent
situation of a specific technology, either within a given
country or region, or globally” (Source: WIPO)
• Challenges:

Some Key Questions
• Is this a growing area of interest?
• What are the fields of current interest?
• Who are the key players?
• Where are the key players filing their inventions?
• Who are the “key opinion leaders” in this field?
• What is the legal status of the families in this area?
