Limits The size of your HDU, The speed of your processor The speed of your Internet Mind: working on patent family, using drawing and first pages updating your database or upsizing with different requests increases rapidly the global number of patents of your local database. Limit from the host: no more than 2000 patents selected in one year. The «per month search», will extend the number of patents downloaded. Full text: patents, claims, drawings, first pages can be downloaded «on demand and online» for the patents that your select from your local database. (text in pdf format) Main information available in a Patent for APA analysis AP -Name of the Patent Assignees (Applicants) IN - Name of the inventors PN PR - Patent number, priority number, extension, cited patents IPC - International classification IPC (4 digits or full) ECLA - (European classification: more precise than IPC) WORDS - from titles or abstracts All these data may be used in combination to map R&D, to see the application domains, the links between technologies, to detect the best companies, to benchmark activities, etc... Drawings if present can also be used as a selection item to Build upgroups. 3

Patent citations Column representation Years are on top Click on one patent to see the cited patents Patent Map with Matheo-Patent Patent Map are widely used to facilitate the work of the Experts which analyse, select and comment the most relevant data. Toryod in Thaïland uses widely this technique to map patents coming from various fields relevant with the cluster policy developed by the country. The following slides show some examples of the systématic treatment used to Map the application or the Technology. http://www.toryod.com/publicationmapping.php 10
All the mapping is done using Matheo Patent Palm oil extract 11
To prepare the expert s analysis, strategic information related to SMEs are extracted from the patent mapping From an analysis of the coconut area 12
Conclusion If you want to work fast you need a tool not only to download rapidly the patents, but also to analyze the contain of the database created on your computer. The databases must be updated. Full text of the patent may be retrieved on demand, groups of inventions, countries, companies may be made by the user, automatic report must be build, etc This is according to theses features (and to many more) that the concept of Matheo Patent as been develop. More complete set of analysis may also be performed with Matheo Analyzer. With a price tailor made for SMEs, laboratories, individuals Matheo Patent provides an easy way to use Patent information for innovation, creativity, and to complement scientific research.
