SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING AND PRESENTING INFORMATION REPRESENTATIVE OF TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS IN A TARGET TECHNOLOGICAL DOMAIN BASED ON PATENT METRICS

摘要

Embodiments are disclosed herein for quantifying and presenting information representative of technological improvements in a technological domain based on patent metrics that may include receiving a request for a patent-based technological improvement rate in a target technological domain, selecting a set of patents representative of the technological domain from an online search of a patent database over a network, storing patent metadata in a memory for the set of patents received over the network from the online search of the patent database, calculating values for one or more patent metrics from the patent metadata for the technological domain, calculating the patent-based technological improvement rate for the technological domain by applying a predictive model to the one or more patent metric values for the technological domain, and communicating the patent-based technological improvement rate through an output communication interface for presentation through an output of an end user computing device.

主权项

1. A server computing device for quantifying and presenting information representative of technological improvements in a target technological domain based on patent metrics, comprising a processor coupled to a memory, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable instructions to cause the server computing device to:
receive a request for a patent-based technological improvement rate through an input communication interface, the request including information for identifying a target technological domain; select a set of patents representative of the target technological domain from an online search of a patent database over a network; store patent metadata in a memory for the set of patents received over the network from the online search of the patent database; calculate values for one or more patent metrics from the patent metadata for the target technological domain; calculate the patent-based technological improvement rate for the target technological domain by applying a predictive model to the one or more patent metric values for the target technological domain; and communicate the patent-based technological improvement rate through an output communication interface for presentation through an output of an end user computing device.
