Presentation overview
Graphene: A fast developing research-enabled
technology space, encompassing a very extensive
set of potential markets and applications. • Graphene is the first 2D crystal discovered, with unusual electronic, optical
and mechanical properties.
• Graphene is of interest across industry fields as diverse as semiconductors
and biotechnology.
• Many graphene technology applications are in sectors which are notoriously
patent and litigation intensive
Examples of graphene applications include:
• Faster computers: More efficient transistors based on graphene could result
in thinner computer chips which use less energy and work faster.
• More sensitive and robust sensors: Biotech sensor devices, environmental
monitoring, oil & gas sensors
• Thinner and flexible displays: Flexible and transparent electronics
• Tougher and more conductive polymer composites: Much like multi-wall
nanotubes (MWNT), graphene polymer composites can make polymers and
other products, like natural rubber, stronger and electrically conductive.
Why graphene?
• Our report ‘Patenting flatland: Graphene – Exploitation
challenges’ builds on research and analysis around
university graphene patent activity, recently presented
in Nature Materials: Tannock, Q. Exploiting carbon
flatland, Nature Materials, Vol 11, 2-5, (2012)
– CambridgeIP research for Nature Materials around the graphene
patent activity and collaborations of universities has been updated
and extended to analyse the entire graphene patent landscape and
focus additionally on the activities of major corporations and
leading SMEs. In addition the report considers the impact of leaders
in the publication of non-patent literature on the patent landscape
– The report is 70 pages long and contains 45 tables and figures
• Our dataset ‘Graphene patents’ is an expert verified
dataset of all graphene patents and patent applications
globally recovered in our research – more than 2,000. All
key patent information fields and all major jurisdictions are
covered.
Patenting flatland: Graphene - Overview
Patent trends over time
Corporate/University R&D networks
• In the graphene patent landscape, there has been a surge in patent filings around
the world in recent years. From around 2007, we observe a spike in the number of
patent applications both from corporations and academic institutions.
• The overall picture that emerges resembles that of the semiconductor and
biotechnology industries and some early-stage technology spaces, including
nanotechnology, which experience particularly high levels of patent activity.

Therewith
• CambridgeIP brings its significant experience in building
patent-based technology intelligence with leading
technologists and investors to create Technology Profile
Reports.
• CambridgeIP‟s patent-based approach provides a
different perspective to understanding investment in
R&D, geographical distribution and size of markets,
market value chains, how a technology area is evolving
and what are the fundamental drivers of its long-term
performance.
• Our analysis helps readers identify and assess those
technologies where commercial value is concentrated.
Patents cost money and significant organisational
resources to secure and maintain. Patents can provide
a useful indication of those technologies that patent
holders are prepared to spend money to protect.

• Working with CambridgeIP and senior industry experts we developed and implemented a complex patent search strategy
• Results were analysed using our proprietary tools and methods and a focus area for deep analysis was identified
• A workshop was conducted for client executives with our internal experts, assisting interpretation and dissemination of findings
• A key driver was the need to inform our clients‟ strategy in this complex and patent intensive space
• Our remit was to assist client executives develop a clear understanding of the existing landscape, identify areas of relative strength &
weakness and existing R&D collaborations, analyse trends and provide statistical information & benchmarking data for use in business
planning and stakeholder reports
Business situation
Our approach
• Identification of fundamental technologies and key actors
• Identification of areas of strength together with technologies applicable to
multiple sectors of application for future focus by our client
• Understanding of recent M&A activity with significant impacts on the
ownership of the UK‟s nanotechnology IP assets
• Insights into corporate R&D collaborations - identiifying key players in the
patent space, together with their overlapping relationships
• Independent and fact-based assessments of the client organisations impact
on UK IP assets, valuable in stakeholder reporting

• Working with the client‟s senior technical and business
representatives we defined the client‟s technology and market
spaces
• We identified two technology focus areas of critical
importance to the client‟s technology with the client and
performed an IP Landscape report these two areas
• The client was backed by a major UK government funding organisation.
• The CEO of the company required deep intelligence about industry incumbents‟ R&D strategy.
• The client also needed independent analysis of the industry‟s patent landscape for use in technology licensing negotiations and
structuring a strategic partnership.
Business situation
Our approach
A top UK University spin-out approached us for an IP Landscape report.
Client profile
CS 2: University spin-off, competitor strategy analysis
using patent-based Intelligence
• The resulting patent-based intelligence was used in
negotiations by our client.
• The client felt that the findings on competitors‟ patenting
activity helped secure a go-ahead for a joint venture with a
major industry player: “The strategic partner‟s reaction to the
report‟s findings was startling: immediately inviting us to their
HQ to meet with their Head of Development to finalize an
agreement towards jointly developing a product.”
• The report has also been used by the client when applying for
participation Framework 7 programs, by demonstrating the
client‟s deep knowledge of the industry‟s patenting trends. Competitor Analysis of Technology Focus in Client's Field

Company 6 6 11 1995 8,838 4.1% 63.6%
Company 7 15 6 2003 400 1.8% 100.0%
The example shows how patent data can be
used to analyse the R&D strategy of
competitors, and to develop licensing strategy.
The findings suggest that Company 7 is
aggressively expanding into the client‟s field: it
has the highest growth rate of patenting
activity. In turn Company 2 is most dependent
on this field for its strategic success: 100% of
its patents are in the field of focus.
Results and benefits

• We defined the technology space and implemented a multi-layer
search strategy that aimed at identifying
• licensing candidates
• potential collaboration partners
• key markets & applications
• critical geographical areas
• Information useful to marketing the technology
• Results and recommendations were presented to the client in a
PowerPoint summary report, and cross-referenced Excel dataset
• A workshop with the client's TTO representatives and client‟s
academic experts aids understanding and dissemination of results
and recommendations
• Previous market research had not resulted in uptake of the technology by corporate prospects
• A go / stop decision point was imminent as international PCT roll-out of an initial patent application approached
Business situation
Our approach
• 20+ organisations were identified, were categorised by type and
arranged in order of priority for approach by our client
• Marketing objectives and recommendations were made in relation to
each organisation type
• Key geographical markets containing high profile licensing prospects
were identified for addition to PCT designated states lists
• Information on similar approaches, including diagrams, were provided
to client academic experts in a convenient format
Results and benefits
A leading UK University asked us to help identify market opportunities for an early stage surgical materials development
