TITLE: Worldwide Map Patent Analysis Of Mechanization Technologies Relating to Field Crop Production. A Case Study On Fertilizer This study focuses on the study and evaluation of mechanization technologies for fertilizing the soil in order to prepare for planting thereby enhancing the quality of the soil in the past two decades. The work is based on DWPI patent database and TI patent analysis software.The use of patent statistics makes it possible to track technological changes and to examine knowledge transfer and R&D cooperation between various countries. The data from this research is used across scientific disciplines and for a number of purposes such as assessing a country’s innovative performance, evaluating competitors’ mobility or track the emergence of new technologies. This research mainly focuses on competitive intelligence in the specified field of mechanization technologies related to field crop and the questions we seek to find out are as follows: ¢Who are the major players? (to identify the top assignees in this result set) ¢What are my competitors working on? (to understand which technical areas the competition is focusing on) ¢Where has this technology been developed? (to uncover where companies file for initial protection. ¢How is the technology trending? ¢ How can the information derived from this research be useful to academics, various organizations and institutions? This knowledge can help rival companies in formulating marketing strategies for the future and gives innovative companies an upper hand in the market. |
