Patents are a good source of information to evaluate trends in the industry. BioSeeker Group has analyzed more than 6 500 cancer immunotherapy related patents as a guideline to identify commercially important innovation trends. 

Since approximately 75% of the information in patent applications are not released anywhere else studying patent information add in an extra dimension to your business intelligence. 

BioSeeker Group has identified several important patent clusters (see tables of contents), which are described and relations to industrial activates in each field are made. Trend analysis such as new topics and new vendors are as well identified and described. One interesting example is Biowindow Gene Dev Inc., a genomics company in China engaged in large-scale gene cloning, that has strongly moved into this field with an extensive amount of PCT applications.

By applying a subject specific search strategy instead of a company based strategy, we avoid missing important patents that could have been overlooked due to companies way of filing patents thru subsidiaries, divisions, holding companies, academia or private persons rather than in the main company name.
