Algorithmic Patent Analysis - The SocialCitNet way

So some of you have seen and used our unique Patent Analysis product online - the Social Citation Network Analysis of a patent - the SocialCitNet of a patent. Great and thanks for using and giving us feedback. India's First Home Grown and Developed Online Patent Citation Analysis Product.

Now the GOOD NEWS!!!

We now have a much more detailed, easy to use and comprehensive version online.

You will get many new nuggets of value in the new version - if you do a depth2 social citation network of any patent at EPO - website - well even if it is called European Patent Office - it has all other patents in other geographies in the database.

• For starters - the IPC Classification and the Family equivalents of the patent in multiple geographies - which I must say is great information. Please see the abstract as well.
• Then comes a very interesting artifact - the Tag Cloud of Keywords. Size of the Tag is directly proportional to the frequency of the phrase/word. I must say, this gives you an immediate view of what the patent documents focus on! A real value for a prior art searcher, landscaping analyst and an R&D Scientist/Engineer, or an Inventor!
•  

The Citation Network is retained as it gives the visual representation of the network

The Key Value in PDNI, NDPI and SCI Indices of various Patents in the network - one can create filters in year wise or assignee wise. This is fantastic feature and gives me great flexibility to control and study the chunks of information relevant to me in the specific context and work that I am doing   Great Thing about SocialCitNet - its still free and usable without any charges. But Soon it will change - so start using it as soon as you can!! Visit http://www.SocialCitNet.com - India's first Online Patent Citation Analysis Tool !      Added by Karthik Just to add, the backward and forward citations of the equivalents of all patents are automatically embedded in the citation network. For example, if you have a PCT application, and then one national application each in USA, India and Japan and later, each of these applications graduates to a granted patent - you will have a minimum of 7 equivalents of the same patent. he backward and forward citations of each equivalent may be different. SocialCitnet consolidates all this information for each patent in the citation network. This is a unique feature that is not provided by any other patent analysis product.
