Emerging and potential new uses for IP information
This chapter considers emerging and potential new uses of IP information for National Patent Offices, their customers and other stakeholders. We consider that these customers and stakeholders comprise both internal (examiners) and external, which includes the public and not only innovators and implementers of technology. In the increasingly globalised world of trade, we also recognise that innovation systems must produce technologies deliverable to markets outside the country of origin.
In the context of the worldwide trend for patent transparency, it is now possible to conceive of wise use of search trends to put countries providing excellent patent search facilities in a leadership position rather than in catch-up mode. It is also possible to use this total transparency to allow the leverage of many rights into industry, environment and social prosperity.
