Chasing Innovation ‘Unicorns’
In this webinar, patent data from patents belonging to the technology field of autonomous driving were studied and analyzed in order to explain – why Amazon decided to acquire Zoox, and its innovation, for approx. $1.2 billion! Apart from that our presenters also discussed other unicorn companies in this field that would make for great acquisition targets.
Since it is a common practice to file for patents much (at least 1-2 years) ahead of actual product roll-out, analysing patent data can help us in finding the crémé de la crémé of innovation leaders. Be it a small, obscure/unheard of company (like Zoox Inc.) that was only a fledgling start-up until a few years ago, or an established automotive OEM (like Volvo cars) that have made revolutionary advances into a new technology, to generate a viable return on innovation investment on their research expenses they have to file for patents to protect their rights .
Using the LexisNexis® PatentSight® proven metrics, the presenters examine and discuss:
- An overview analysis of the autonomous driving patent landscape
- A comparison of selected automotive OEMs and their portfolio in autonomous driving
- A break-down analysis of Zoox’s patent portfolio in autonomous driving
- The specifics of Amazon’s patent portfolio in autonomous driving before and after the acquisition
- Implications for the automotive industry and other autonomous driving unicorns like Zoox Inc.
