Deriving technology intelligence from patents: Preposition-based semantic analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• A proposition-based semantic analysis to develop a patent network was proposed.

• The approach was applied to develop a technology-relation-technology network.

• Patents regarding an electric vehicle were adopted as an illustrative example.

• The relationships of technologies were defined using 13 meaningful prepositions.

• Five relationships were defined: inclusion, objective, effect, process, and likeness.
