ANNOUNCING  

2012 Intellectual Property Analysis in Photovoltaics

NEW REPORT: 2012 Photovoltaics IP Analysis

This new service monitors published patent development activity and provides quarterly reports in April, July, October, and December 2012. Developed for technologists and product managers in the PV industry, Linx's Photovoltaics IP Analysis keeps subscribers informed of the ongoing developments in this segment.

The search and output of this analysis represents a snapshot of new information at the end of each calendar quarter. As patent applications publish in the USPTO and WIPO, we register the abstracts, review important claims, log the assignees (if available), as well as add publications of US Patents. The results of these searches are categorized and reported each quarter, together with a trend analysis that includes running analyses patents by topical area (as shown below), type and company.

 

How to Participate  

This service is available via subscription only. The subscription price is $1,500 per year (to be billed once) and includes four quarterly outputs. Each quarterly analysis contains one EXCEL file with relevant publications along with corresponding document numbers, publication dates, titles, abstracts, assignees application numbers, filing dates, etc. AND one POWERPOINT file with a summary analysis.
