Patent Landscaping & Trend Analysis Studio

Description

* Description: This studio shows how to create a small, defensible patent landscape without expensive software. You will design queries that capture a coherent slice of technology and then export fields that matter for analysis. Cleaning steps normalize assignees, split/merge families, and remove obvious noise so charts tell the truth. You will build time-series views for filings and grants, cluster by CPC sections, and sketch simple co-assignee maps. Examples illustrate how to spot bursts, plateaus, and emerging subtopics worth monitoring. A reproducibility section teaches how to record parameters so the same chart can be rebuilt next quarter. You will write a one-page narrative that avoids speculation and links observations to evidence. Limitations and caveats are discussed openly so readers understand what the landscape does and does not say. A final checklist covers updates and how to propose next steps, such as deeper class dives or inventor interviews. The output is a concise set of visuals and notes that leaders can understand at a glance.

* Format: Screencasts, export field map, cleaning workbook, chart templates, and narrative outline.
* Duration: 2.5 hours of instruction plus a 60-minute build lab.
* What You’ll Learn: Query design for landscapes, normalization, CPC clustering, timeline views, and clear reporting.
* Target Audience: Strategy and research teams who need trend awareness without enterprise tools.
