Monitoring innovation means understanding technological progress and shifts across industries. By benchmarking companies, identifying emerging technologies, and analyzing material and application trends, we can gain valuable insight into how organizations are positioned relative to their market and competitors.

Traditional patent analysis relies on statistical evaluation of patent characteristics. However, to uncover the impact and strategic relevance of innovation, qualitative assessments of patent applications are essential. Advances in generative AI are transforming this space—enabling more customized, in-depth content analysis that enhances our ability to monitor innovation and supports the intellectual property filing process.

This presentation explains how data-driven innovation intelligence, powered by AI, can offer deeper insights into global R&D trends, as well as benchmark client positioning, and uncover strategic white spaces.

These insights are critical to helping clients close gaps, seize opportunities, and build a sustained competitive advantage.
