Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the short report on the website?

The short report is a focused summary of industry context, key players and headline patent trends. The long report adds the assignee-level breakdowns, technology-fragmentation taxonomy, and the joint-venture, investment and M&A intelligence that attorneys and strategy teams actually cite in memos and board decks.

What format is the report delivered in?

A PDF report, delivered instantly to the email used at checkout, built on the same underlying patent dataset as the short report.

Is the data sourced and citable?

Yes. Every figure is drawn from Intelacia’s original patent analysis, with taxonomy definitions, inclusions/exclusions and a country table included in the appendix.
