Search More Efficiently
(and faster of course)
By utilizing relevance information embedded in citation relationships, SocialCitNet helps you get to the most important, most relevant patents faster.
Use it in conjunction with other search approaches (such as keyword or classification based searches).
Quickly build your technology landscape
Identify one patent in your area of technology. The social citation network of this patent doubles up as a technology landscape.
Expand your landscape intelligently by building the citation networks of the most important patents identified by SocialCitNet earlier.
Identify core inventions
The Network Dependency on Patent Index (NDPI) helps identify patents that are most cited in the network. High NDPI patents contain core inventions on which many other inventions have been built.
Design around these core patents. Build on these core patents along new invention directions.
Build on integrations and intersections
The Patent Dependency on Network Index (PDNI) helps identify patents that cite many other patents in the network. High PDNI patents are building on many other inventions in the network and are strong indicators of intersections and integration of inventions in the technology landscape.Identify new value in these integrations and intersections. Invent new points of intersection and integration.
