Measurable market insights and indicators based on patent data

From patent data to indicator-based information, and measurable market insights

Patents are a forward looking indicator and measure company innovation that will lead to a product within 2-5 years. A company with significant patent activity in a certain technology will likely develop and monetize a product in the coming years. Conversely, a company without patents is unlikely to play an active role in the specific activity in the future.

Therefore, we have quantified information about potential future markets that do not yet exist in standard statistics and financial data. Through the quantitative analysis of patents filed by companies, it is possible to gather intelligence on technologies and market trends. By further grouping these patents into understandable concepts, the layer of abstraction is removed, and future markets can be accessed. EconSight provides clarity by turning expert patent data into structured indicator-based information and measurable market insights for data-driven investment decisions. We ask who is active in Smart Factory, Virtual Reality, Brain-Machine Interaction, Personal Medicine, Precision Agriculture or Artificial Intelligence, and who is good in these technologies.

Background – what do we do new, different and better?

600+ curated technologies

A technology taxonomy consisting of 600+ curated cutting-edge technologies, defined from a market perspective and not from a purely technical perspective.

Next generation AI-based patent analysis

We use AI where it makes sense and leads to better results. Intelligently linked with our technologies and based on more than 20 years of expert knowledge: innovation evaluation and scoring, grant predictors, enhanced patent searches, and risk analysis.

Precise indicators

EconSight indicators  are designed to get the best possible information out of patents: World Class Patents, Company Innovation Score, EconSight Patent Score, Global Tech Share, Specialisation Degree, Enabling Technology Environment, and time series data from 1990 to 2025 

Business relevant patent scores

EconSight developed a technology-specific patent score that focusses on business relevancy in patent citations and “critical mass” country coverage, and specifically takes younger patents into account with AI-based grant and citation predictions.
