Comparative Technology Assessment using Patent Evaluation

Abstract

This paper gives a qualitative analysis of the RT-RK company's patent portfolio with an aim to find the basic common characteristics and specificities. In that sense, three parts of patent portfolio were separated in the following technological groups: smart lighting, software solutions for STB and DTV, as well as automatic device testing. A publicly available software tool was used as the analytical tool for evaluation of intellectual property - IPscore. In addition, a technological 2D space was created using the automatic text analysis of patent documents with Python programming language and DeepLearning4j tool. A qualitative analysis of one part of the RT-RK institute portfolio was done by estimating the value of different production sectors patent portfolio.
