Google Technology Analysis FOR PATENTS WITH APPLICATION YEAR 1 RUCHICA KUMAR 1-8-15 NOVOCUS LEGAL LLP 1
Why you need Patent Analysis done for your portfolio..???? Data analytics is heart of every model aimed at spurring innovation. Unique combinations as foundation to spur innovation. Collaborations have led to recent advances including neuro-stimulators, stent technologies, biomarkers, robotic assistance and implantable electronic devices. Today, the ratio of tangible to intangible assets has inverted - nearly 8% of corporate value resided in intangible assets as reported by analysis of S&P 5 market value. While strategic buyers have been acquiring assets to add new growth engines to their portfolios, they have been divesting noncore assets, creating attractive carve-out opportunities for private equity. 1-8-15 NOVOCUS LEGAL LLP

AN EXAMPLE OF TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION AND EVOLUTION USING PATENTS FOR YEAR 1 WITH GOOGLE AS ASSIGNEE We present an approach to efficiently generate effective intelligence on emerging technology landscapes. This approach draws on monitoring technical data and bibliometrics to mine the wealth of information available in major public and commercial electronic databases. The approach uses new software to expedite secondary analyses of database searches on topics of interest. We illustrate the range of information profiles possible by examining research and development (R&D) publications and patents pertaining to technology of interest. Purpose of the study: Author aims are ultimately doing same analysis as presented above for application years 1-14 for GOOGLE, and compare technical field shifts and citation assignee shifts. Benefits: Such a study would help GOOGLE Inc., in identifying new research areas and also utilize existing portfolios for pro-bono licensing and technology stewardship in cross industry sectors. Such innovation maps present a holistic tools for scientifically identifying gaps in technology and opening new avenues of research. The report presented herein, would be focused on applications filed by google in year 1. Data collected for this research and analysis is obtained from public domain and analytical tools and techniques employed by author have been developed by author through years of learning and experimentation. Purpose of this report is to present to you a glimpse of what a detailed innovation mapping study can do for your organization s licensing opportunities. This reports includes following sections: 1. Analysis of applications filed in year 1. Backward Citation analysis 3. Forward Citation analysis generation 1 4. Forward Citation analysis generation to observe code shifts. 5. Lateral citation analysis for years 1 and 11. Comparisons between first and second generation forward citations Author seeks feedback regarding utility and requirements for such reports in real time environment apart from academic enrichments and social welfare from use of technology. 1-8-15 NOVOCUS LEGAL LLP 5
