“…Patent indicators are extracted from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database to develop quantitative indicators, which are used to forecast emerging technologies [46]. Cho et al (2018) used the most relevant core data to increase accuracy of vacant technology prediction and performed object-solution matrix analysis, and Song et al (2017) extracted and applied technical attributes to obtain new technology ideas based on F-term, which is a Japanese patent classification system enabling the efficient search of patent documents [47][48][49]. Kyebambe et al (2017) applied supervised learning to patent analysis and forecasted emerging technologies to enable firms to discover investment opportunities, and Niemann et al (2017) used semantic similarities to develop patent lanes, which are the deployments of patent clusters over a course of time [50,51].…”

“…Patent portfolio analysis is used to assess technologies and obtain important information about the technologies [100]. For example, the analysis is used to reveal and define technology growth level and maturity since the characteristics of each stage of innovation cycle can be differentiated [47,101]. The innovation cycle of technology, a portfolio analysis technique, classifies technology development into five levels ( Figure 2).…”

Governments around the world are planning to ban sales of vehicles running on petroleum-based fuels as an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and electric vehicles surfaced as a solution to decrease pollutants produced by the transportation sector. As a result, wireless power transfer technology has recently gained much attention as a convenient and practical method for charging electric vehicles. In this paper, patent analysis is conducted to identify emerging and vacant technology areas of wireless power transfer. Topics are first extracted from patents by text mining, and the topics with similar semantics are grouped together to form clusters. Then, the process of identifying emerging and vacant technology areas is improved by applying a time series analysis and innovation cycle of technology to the clustering result. Lastly, the results of clustering, time series, and innovation cycle are compared to minimize the possibility of misidentifying emerging and vacant technology areas, thus improving the accuracy of the identification process and the validity of the identified technology areas. The analysis results revealed that one emerging technology area and two vacant technology areas exist in wireless power transfer. The emerging technology area identified is circuitries consisting of transmitter coils and receiver coils for wireless power transfer, and the two vacant technology areas identified are wireless charging methods based on resonant inductive coupling and wireless power transfer condition monitoring methods or devices.

“…Patent analysis is a robust approach that has been widely used to identify technological competition, strategize the future patent layout in a target technological field, and assist technological innovative subjects to obtain SCA in the fierce market competition [16]. Patent statistics analysis and patent bibliometrics analysis are two widely-used patent analysis approaches.…”

Graphene serves as the most disruptive material in the twenty-first century and plays an unsubstitutable role in solving the sustainable development problems of energy crises, water shortages, and environmental pollution. Recently, obtaining a sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) in the field of graphene has gained increasing attention from both researchers and practitioners. However, few attempts have been made to summarize the SCA of this field by applying patent information. Basing on a patent-based multi-level perspective (MLP), this study aims to develop an approach to identify SCA in the target technological area by conducting a patent review from the comprehensive perspectives of the macro landscape, meso socio-technical system, and micro niches, and then integrate patent analysis with technology life cycle (TLC) theory to examine patents involving global technological competition. The effectiveness of the approach is verified with a case study on graphene. The results show that the graphene field is an emerging and fast-growing technological field, with an increasing number of patents over the year. The TLC of graphene technology demonstrated an approximate S shape, with China, the U.S., Korea, and Japan filing the largest number of graphene patents. Evidenced by Derwent Manual Codes, we found an increase in consideration given to technological application and material preparation topics over time, and research hotspots and fronts that have SCA. In terms of a leading country or region with SCA, the U.S., with a high foreign patent filing rate, large number of high forward citation patents, strong assignees’ competitive position, and large number of high-strength patents, was still the most powerful leader, with a higher SCA in the graphene industry. Korea also obtained a relatively higher SCA and will be a promising competitor in this field. Although China was shown to be catching-up very rapidly in the total number of graphene patents, the apparent innovation gaps in the foreign patent filing rate, high value patents, and Industry-University-Research Collaboration will obviously hamper Chinese catch-up efforts for obtaining SCA. As for patentees, the most powerful leaders with a higher SCA represented by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, International Business Machines Corp, and Nanotek Instruments Inc were identified. In addition, most of the high strength patents were owned by the above patentees. Further, valuable contributions to the understanding of SCA in graphene technology were summarized. First, the proposed patent-based MLP provides a new and comprehensive analytical framework for review research, as well as SCA analysis, and extends its research perspectives. Second, it introduces patent indicators to the previous MLP model, and provides a new theoretical perspective for the study of technological innovation in the previous MLP model. Third, this paper employs the TLC theory to explore the dynamic SCA in the given technology field, which further develops the concept of the MLP model from the temporal dimension. Finally, future research directions were demonstrated. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first systematic review of this field using patent analysis, comprehensively acknowledging the current technological competition and development in the graphene field and that of the future, and can be applied to various other emerging technology fields.

The article considers the basic principles of the vertical cities formation for the creation of a comfortable urban environment in conditions of rapid population growth and limited territories. As urban growth increases, there is a need for new concepts and approaches to urban space planning through the massive introduction of high-rise construction. The authors analyzed and systematized the list of high-tech solutions for arrangement the space of vertical cities, which are an integral part of the creation of the methodology for forming a high-rise buildings. Their concept differs in scale, presence of the big areas of public spaces, tendencies to self-sufficiency and sustainability, opportunity to offer the new unique comfortable environment to the population living in them.
