Abstract:

Indium Nanoparticles â?? Technology Assessment for commercialization and innovation opportunities using patents as indicators: This research postulates a mechanism to identify new commercialization avenues for an inter-disciplinary technology portfolio through innovation mapping. The mechanism may be deployed for adding leverage to influence or market power of an existing technology as well. Patent informatics in form of technology spill-over analysis and technology competitiveness assessment is used herein. Both these factors are known innovation drivers and can be leveraged for mapping innovation and commercialization opportunities. Patents are a good indicator because inter-disciplinary technologies like nanotechnology progress through identifiable patterns of scientific, technological and economic developments and there is a time lag between different stages. Accordingly, patent documents can be used for studying technology influence and market power of portfolios and innovation network can be derived thereupon. Example of Indium Nanoparticles has been used to demonstrate aforementioned statement through a multi-dimensional analysis at a primary level and involving patent citations, family size, technical applications and bibliographic information provided in 1623 relevant patent documents. The analysis lead to mapping of technology spill-overs and competitiveness, which were later compared and remapped at secondary and tertiary levels to form detailed innovation map for the technology. Indium Nanoparticles have applications as a material for superconductivity, and as a semiconductor. The innovation map created through assessment presents evidence of possible applications and opportunities of innovation for indium nanoparticles in electrical, magnetic, optical, biomedical and bioscience sectors. These opportunities may be leveraged through various strategic decisions thereby opening a plethora of commercialization avenues like technology pooling, cross-licensing etc.
