Multi Patent Landscape Map
A Multi-patent Landscape Map (sometimes called a Full Patent Landscape Map) shows the citations to and from a "starting set" of patents (e.g. an inventor's portfolio, a company's portfolio in an area etc.).
Patent landscape maps are one element in IPVision's broader Patent Landscape Reports and technology analysis offerings.

Multi-patent landscape maps are useful in understanding the evolving position and patents around a patent portfolio over time. IPVision builds upon this form of analysis as one factor in its technology and patent analysis for patent risks, relevance and strategy.
