systematic approach for monitoring competitor's technological challenges based upon patent analysis

Abstract

How can we get new ideas or technologies of competitors? It was investigated from our review study of 41 literatures that this question have been the most intrinsic and crucial one from all firms in the global industry or market environment. In this study, an attempt to systematically settle this question was made upon the basis of patent analysis. We proposed the systematic monitoring process for detecting new ideas or technologies which competitors have currently been implemented.
