IPC Code Analysis of Patent Documents Using Association Rules and Maps – Patent Analysis of Database Technology

  • Conference paper
Book cover Database Theory and Application, Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (BSBT 2011, DTA 2011)

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 258))

Abstract

Patent documents are the results of researched and developed technologies. Patent is a protecting system of inventors’ right for their technologies by a government. Also, patent is an important intellectual property of a company. R&D strategy has been depended on patent management. For efficient management of patent, we need to analyze patent data. In this paper, we propose a method for analyzing international patent classification (IPC) code as a patent analysis. We introduce association rules and maps for IPC code analysis. To verify our improved the performance, we will make experiments using searched patent documents of database technology.
