<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an appropriate method for easily and fairly ranking patent strategy evaluations by objectively grasping the evaluations in both quantity and quality. <P>SOLUTION: Patents can correctly be grasped in both quantity and quality by weighting patents registered overseas as a primary status and patents registered at home as a secondary status in the case of evaluating the patents on the basis of the number of applications corresponding to the scale of a company, etc., and the ratio of registered patents of the year to relevant applied patents. Thus, companies, or the like are easily ranked, and in addition, the directivity of patent strategies can concretely be grasped by tracking numerical values obtained at company ranking with time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
