East meets West in Vienna, 22 and 23 April 2010 - Join the discussion!

As in previous years, the EPO will organise its "East meets West" forum on Asian patent information in Vienna, Austria. This year, the forum will take place on 22 and 23 April 2010. (For more information on the forum, a preliminary programme and an archive with all presentations and reports from previous events, please go to the forum website at: http://www.epo.org/about-us/events/emw2010.html)

The following discussion threads are related to the discussion rounds which will take place on the second day of the forum on Friday, 23 April 2010. Participants and experts who will be present at the forum can use these discussion threads to exchange their ideas and questions prior to the event - and to follow up on these topics at a later stage. In addition, users of this virtual information exchange who will not be able to come to Vienna this year can join the discussion online.

We are looking forward to fruitful discussions, both online and at the "East meets West" forum in Vienna!

Patent mapping (case study, green patents)

The visualisation of patent statistics enables businesses and policy makers to use patent information for decision-making. Patent maps can be strategic tools not only for policy makers or big industry, but also for SMEs.

 The Japanese Patent Office has been providing patent maps for key areas of technologies to the user community in Japan since the late 1960s. Korea also places a strong focus on patent analysis and technology evaluation.  

This discussion round will use the example of "green patents", i.e. patents in the field of environmentally sound technologies, to take a closer look at the question how patent mapping and statistical analysis can help identify trends. How useful are patent statistics for identifying trends in new technologies like clean energy? Can patent mapping help discover changes in R&D activities? What can European users learn from the Asian example?

East meets West in Vienna, 17 and 18 April 2008

With well over 130 participants, the EPO's 6th Forum on patent information from East Asia was the most popular event so far. The main themes included machine translation and cross-lingual patent retrieval, improved ways of searching Asian patent data, patent enforcement in China, Japanese FI/F-terms and patent mapping in East Asia.

What were the goals and concrete outcome of "East meets West 2008"? How relevant was the forum for the daily work of those who participated? What did the experts from Asia think? And which topics would you like to see at next year's forum?

Join this discussion thread to share your impressions of "East meets West in Vienna", or make suggestions for next year's event.

Patent mapping in East Asia - benchmark for Europe?

Since the late 1960s, the Japanese Patent Office has been providing “patent maps” for key areas of technologies to the user community in Japan. Created mainly to promote technology transfer and support licensing activities, such patent maps can help identify trends, illustrate the maturity of technologies or discover changes in R&D activities. Patent maps can be strategic tools not only for policy makers or big industry, but also for SMEs. Korea also places a strong focus on patent analysis and technology evaluation and offers various expert services in this field. How useful are patent statistics for European users? What can we learn from the Asian example?

Are you using statistical or visualisation tools in your work? What are your experiences? Learn more about patent mapping from the experts from East Asia. Share your expectations for patent mapping in Europe with the EPO’s expert.
