On approach for the development of patents analysis formal metrics

Abstract

Analysis and modeling of the cross-thematic states of the world prior-art is a voluminous task that includes many subtasks. In order to assess the prior art, build forecasts and carry out analysis, it is necessary to develop and construct cross-thematic relationships between patents within an array in many ways. The scientific result of the work was the first developed formal metric “belonging to the technological epoch” for assessing the cross-thematic states of the world prior art, as well as the technique and method of applying formal metrics. This paper presents the development of a software module based on the developed metric.
