Ideal Patent Databases Might
Offer
Following Data Would Really Help. Here is What's Needed In Patent Databases Today. Hard To Find But Very Needed.
Easier Way To Tie Patents With Products - What Are The Commercialized Pat Apps?
• Link Pat Application With Commercialized Or Otherwise Produced Product:
Patent To Product Database Would Be A Huge Help. Any chance someone
has started something like this even in a specific field of electronics?
• Web links related to patent application, e.g. assignee’s company
website even if said site lacks patent to product data
Pat Filer Info:
• Sort By Co Size: Pat App Assignee. Sort by company strength.
- Best: Size of company, e.g. sales volume or number employees…
- OK: Number of patents filed/issued – probably easy to find.
• Digital contact Info: Assignee’s or Pat apps pat attorney:
email or fax. Need more than address. LinkedIn or Facebook?

Scoring Pat Apps:
• Quality Score: Pat Apps Ranked By 3rd Party For
It’s Subject Quality Score. Scoring Might Cover Things Like: Market need,
novelty
• “Signal Processing” (easier to engineer around tech) versus “Broader
Use” or “New Uses For Existing Tech”.
- Over simplified example:
the bicycle might be a
broader user, while an improved gear could be the narrower “signal processing”.
