Resumen de Patent Tchnology for Competitive Intelligence
Patent in the broad sense means legal rights arising from intellectual activities in the industrial and scientific fields. Patent law aims to protect the inventors by granting them the rights to control the use of their creations for a certain time limit. There are numerous definitions for technology and the most popular among them is this definition - “technology is the practical use of scientific information”. To stay ahead of competition, organizations have to constantly update their existing processes, products and technology. One strategy to improve these is to make use of existing available technology through searching patent information from the Internet, then to spend time and resources on developing new technologies that may not benefit the company at all. The aim of this paper is to explore the patent technology and present patent information so that these “raw” data can become part of a company’s competitive strategy.
