Introduction
Ambercite is a patent mapping system that uses “Network Patent Analysis (NPA, formerly known as Network Patent Analytics), [which] is the process of using patent citations to first link together patents in a given technical area, and then using the proprietary algorithms to analyze these citation linkages to:” [1]
- “determine the leading patents in the technology area” [1]
- “form these leading patents together into a network diagram (patent landscape map) that shows the technology landscape of the technology area, with the diagram highlighting the relative strength of these patents and similar technologies (patent clusters)” [1]
- “[underpin] the patent landscape map with a spreadsheet of bibliographic data. This spreadsheet includes key patent bibliographic data, and data showing the relative ranking of these patents, which clusters they fall into, and which patents these clusters connect to.” [1]
Availability
Ambercite creates specific “NPA landscape maps” and spreadsheets for a client after an initial meeting where the client “determines [their] objectives.” [2] Ambercite then finalizes the proposal with the client and delivers the map and spreadsheet within “about two weeks.” [2]
