“…Patents as an important element of R&D outcomes set up hurdles for technology advances by claiming exclusivity but also imply value and shed light on development possibilities. 6 However, no studies have examined the technological indications of overall patent activity. To navigate the hurdles and identify opportunities, we analyzed the DC patent landscape based on multiple dimensions of patent information to examine main trends in DC-based technology development.…”

“…Company valuation pays close attention to book value as well as the value of patents, one of its intangible and important assets. There are several patent analysis methods that could be applied to different company assessments (Breitzman & Mogee, 2002). Banerjee, Gupta, and Garg (2000) contended that patent analysis draws a set of indicators to measure economic activity and innovation output, using the results to position the research competences of firms and nations.…”

Patent analysis has become important for management as it offers timely and valuable information to evaluate R&D performance and identify the prospects of patents. This study explores the scattering patterns of patent impact based on citations in 3 distinct technological areas, the liquid crystal, semiconductor, and drug technological areas, to identify the core patents in each area. The research follows the approach from Bradford's law, which equally divides total citations into 3 zones. While the result suggests that the scattering of patent citations corresponded with features of Bradford's law, the proportion of patents in the 3 zones did not match the proportion as proposed by the law. As a result, the study shows that the distributions of citations in all 3 areas were more concentrated than what Bradford's law proposed. The Groos (1967) droop was also presented by the scattering of patent citations, and the growth rate of cumulative citation decreased in the third zone.

“…A análise de patentes também pode ser empregada para a identificação de corpo técnico chave (os inventores) de uma empresa ou de um setor. Podem ser analisadas também as áreas nas quais uma empresa é vulnerável e suas necessidades de novos especialistas, por exemplo, observando-a falta de patentes depositadas em áreas que podem ser vitais para a atuação da empresa [20] . Dada a grande quantidade de documentos de patentes que surge a cada ano, é importante a utilização de tratamentos de informação automatizados e a criação de indicadores para facilitar ou mesmo viabilizar a análise dos milhares de documentos que geralmente estão envolvidos nesse tipo de pesquisa [21] .…”

Resumo: As fibras naturais têm sido pesquisadas e empregadas de maneira crescente no desenvolvimento de produtos com sustentabilidade econômica, social e ambiental, sendo o sisal uma das mais importantes para o Brasil, pela sua posição de liderança na produção mundial. O presente artigo analisa a evolução temporal e o interesse das empresas e instituições em tecnologias associadas ao sisal, a partir de informações e indicadores extraídos de documentos de patentes no período de 1960 a 2009. Foi verificado o crescente patenteamento associado ao sisal em áreas de química, ciência dos materiais e dos polímeros, com destaque para o reforço do de compósitos plásticos. Além do crescente número de patentes, houve também um expressivo aumento do número de empresas e instituições titulares das patentes, o que reflete a possível desconcentração do mercado nesse crescimento do interesse pelas tecnologias associadas ao sisal. O Brasil, apesar da sua proeminência na produção do sisal, possui pequena presença no patenteamento mundial. Também foi verificada a importância da análise de patentes para o acompanhamento da evolução das tecnologias e interesses, pela disponibilidade de informações públicas que podem ser transformadas em indicadores úteis para análise de tecnologia e mercado associados ao sisal ou a outras áreas tecnológicas. Palavras-chave: Fibra natural, indicadores de patente, polímeros, compósitos. Technological Trends in the Use of Sisal in Composites Through Patent MiningAbstract: Natural fibers have increasing importance for developing sustainable products, sisal being one of the most important fibers for Brazil which is the largest producer in the world. This article deals with the temporal evolution and interest of enterprises and institutions associated with the sisal's technology, with information and indicators extracted from patents from 1960 to 2009. The association of sisal with chemistry, materials science and polymers has been increasing, with emphasis on the strengthening of composite plastics. In addition to the growing number of patents, there was also a significant increase in the number of companies and institutions holding patents. Despite its prominence in the production of sisal, Brazil has little presence in the global patenting. Also verified was the importance of patent analysis for monitoring the evolution of technologies and interests, through the availability of public information. This information can be turned into useful indicators for the analysis of market and technology, associated with sisal or other technology areas.
