Patent navigation can provide scientific guidance for scientific and technological research and development and technology patent layout, patent navigation projects involve technology, law, business and other fields, and the implementation of the project faces the challenge of multidisciplinary comprehensive application. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the patent navigation project, and at the same time to cultivate patent navigation professionals with the help of external professional institutions, and to achieve the dual effect of project research and talent training, the introduction of supervision system is an effective method, which is particularly important.
Patent navigation project supervision escorts the development of enterprises
Patent navigation is based on the utilization of patent information resources and patent analysis, and embeds the application of patents in industrial technology innovation, product innovation, organizational innovation and business model innovation, which is an exploratory work to guide and support the development of industrial science. PetroChina's patent navigation is mainly guided by the whole process or specific links of service technology or product research and development, deeply deconstructs the key issues such as R&D environment, R&D risks, and R&D opportunities faced by R&D activities or its specific links, and provides decision-making support for basic issues such as R&D direction determination, risk avoidance, route optimization, and resource allocation of R&D activities. Its content includes the analysis of the current situation of industrial or technological development, the analysis of industrial or technological development trends, the analysis of development paths, the analysis of its own technical positioning, the analysis of key applicants and key technologies, the supervision and evaluation of risk early warning and layout analysis. The methods and accuracy of patent data, industrial data, scientific and educational data and data processing in related technical fields, as well as the positioning and analysis of data results, are very important for the navigation of key core technology patents.
Patent navigation supervision is to formulate detailed implementation plans and standards for the patent navigation project, supervise the progress of the project undertaker, inspect and evaluate the quality of the process, and review and demonstrate the phased results, and put forward suggestions for modification and improvement to ensure the quality of the patent navigation project.
The tripartite alliance has resulted in a number of experiences and practices
Based on the current status of the company's intellectual property work and the requirements of patent navigation for the professional level of intellectual property rights, the patent navigation project organizes technical research and development personnel and intellectual property personnel to work together, and innovatively hires a third-party professional company to supervise the project, forming the following experience and practices:
Standardize the supervision process and formulate a patent navigation supervision plan. According to the research cycle and technical characteristics of the project, the research cycle is subdivided into 8 stages, such as research stage, data retrieval and patent navigation, and the content and requirements to be done by technical R&D personnel and intellectual property personnel at each stage are clarified in the form of a list, as well as the stage results and indicators to be submitted, so as to build a standardized process of phased supervision of the whole process of patent navigation.
Goal-oriented, clear and strict control of core nodes. Clarify the core nodes such as the construction of technical decomposition tables, the establishment of search formulas, the cleaning and processing of data, the formulation of analysis catalogs and contents, the positioning of technology development, the path suggestions and the depth of analysis, and strictly control and evaluate the work indicators and quality of core nodes in accordance with supervision standards.
Strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and establish communication and coordination mechanisms. At the beginning of the establishment of the project, technical personnel, intellectual property rights and third-party supervision and supervision responsibilities will be implemented, and an exchange group will be established. In the process, regular supervision meetings and quality inspection meetings are held, project problems are systematically sorted out, monthly and weekly reports are written, research results and progress are communicated from time to time, and intellectual property personnel are stationed at the technology research and development site to ensure information exchange and full cooperation between all parties and ensure that the project is carried out in an efficient and orderly manner.
Strengthen process management, implement dynamic supervision and real-time guidance. In the process of navigating the implementation of the project, through the control of key nodes and the communication in the process, dynamic tracking is realized, potential problems are found in a timely manner and targeted guidance is provided, possible deviations in the project process are corrected, risks and challenges in the project implementation process are effectively dealt with, and the project is ensured to be carried out according to the predetermined plan with quality and quantity through dynamic supervision and real-time guidance.
Enlightenment of the patent navigation supervision system
Through the implementation of the patent navigation project supervision system, the following enlightenment is obtained:
First, the supervision system provides a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the patent navigation project. Through the formulation of a detailed supervision plan, the supervision agency conducts comprehensive supervision and management of patent navigation, standardizes the operation process of the patent navigation project, and ensures that the project is carried out in accordance with the established procedures and standards. At the same time, the supervision agency conducts regular inspection and evaluation of the project, finds problems in a timely manner, and guides the patent navigation implementers to solve the problems to ensure that the indicators meet the standard requirements.
Second, strengthen the communication mechanism between R&D personnel, intellectual property personnel and supervision and supervision personnel. Patent navigation is a very comprehensive work, which requires full communication and in-depth cooperation between R&D personnel and intellectual property personnel, and the establishment of regular communication mechanisms and smooth communication channels. At the same time, the results of patent search and analysis are affected by the technical level of R&D personnel, the professional ability of intellectual property personnel, and the degree of cooperation between R&D personnel and intellectual property personnel, etc., and third-party supervisors are required to evaluate the results of patent search and analysis, and supplement and adjust them if necessary.
Third, strengthen the training of technical R&D personnel related to patent navigation. The research ideas of patent navigation projects are quite different from those of traditional R&D projects, which makes it difficult for R&D personnel to participate in the early stage of the project. It is necessary to strengthen the training related to patent navigation to further let R&D personnel realize the necessity of patent navigation and understand the specific content and process of patent navigation, so as to better communicate and cooperate with intellectual property personnel and improve the quality of patent navigation.
