'Study on indicator system for core patent document evaluation' by Xian Zhang et. al. (Chengdu Library of The Chinese Academy of Sciences) presents a technique, or, rather, a method, to effectively judge the importance of a patent document.
The method is based on three attributes of the patent, namely:
1. Technical attributes
2. Market attributes
3. Legal attributes
Technical attributes include indicators derived from citation data, claims, classifications, etc., such as
The market attributes include other indicators directly or indirectly based on commercialization aspect of the patent, such as:
Moreover. the legal attributes include:
Based on all these attributes, the importance of a patent can be assessed; These attributes have been dealt with in detail in this presentation, a PDF copy of which can be accessed here.
The method is based on three attributes of the patent, namely:
1. Technical attributes
2. Market attributes
3. Legal attributes
Technical attributes include indicators derived from citation data, claims, classifications, etc., such as
- Number of IPC
- Number of Claims
- Technology Dependence
- Technology Cycle Time
- Science linkage
- Science Cycle Time
- Science Impact
- Standardization Impact
- Standardization Scope
The market attributes include other indicators directly or indirectly based on commercialization aspect of the patent, such as:
- Patent Family size
- Share of the Triad
- Human Resource Input
- Collaboration Intensity
- Self-commer. or licensing
- Impawn or collateral loan
- Patent Assignment
Moreover. the legal attributes include:
- Patent Validity Years
- Extended
- Survived from patent Opposition Claims
- Survived from patent Annulment Claims
- Granted
- Stability of Legal Status
Based on all these attributes, the importance of a patent can be assessed; These attributes have been dealt with in detail in this presentation, a PDF copy of which can be accessed here.
