Technology Landscapes: Corporate Venture Group and Deal Scouting

This is the fourth in a series of articles about technology landscapes, or patent landscapes. In the first post “Why I Hate the Phrase ‘Technology Landscape’,” we explain that the phrase “technology landscape” means different things to different people in different contexts. In the second article “Technology Landscapes and Patent Monetization” we discuss how a technology landscape is only the starting point towards making business decisions regarding patent monetization (making money on your patents). The third article investigated the use of a technology landscape to support a corporate growth strategy for an emerging company.

Technology Landscapes and Patent Monetization

This is the second in a series of posts about technology landscapes, also called patent landscapes. In the first post, Why I Hate the Phrase "Technology Landscape,” I point out that the phrase “technology landscape” is used to describe everything from a $1,000 offshore basic patent search to a $200k high-end consulting engagement with strategy consulting firms or a law firm billing by the hour.

Why I Hate the Phrase "Technology Landscape"

Why You Need an Industry Study from IPVision Instead

A wise man once said, “Language gets in the way of communication.” In my experience, the lexicon of “technology landscape” or “patent technology landscape” gets in the way of making strategic and even tactical business decisions involving intellectual property and business strategy. That is why I hate the phrase “technology landscape” as applied to patents.

How IPVision’s Phantom Patents Help Track Your Competitors

One of the benefits of filing for a patent for your innovation is the ability to keep track of what your competitors are doing within the same IP space. When you apply for a patent, you must file an IDS, or Information Disclosure Statement where you cite prior art. Prior art is patents or other intellectual property that you drew upon to create your innovation, and is relevant in determining whether your invention is “novel.”

How Much Would Maintaining Our Patent Portfolio Cost?

The question many businesses ask shouldn’t be “how much would maintaining our patent portfolio cost?” Instead, the savvy corporation knows that the amount of money that could be lost due to neglecting their patent portfolio is not a risk they’re willing to take.
