ABSTRACT:
A portable database can be used by a client organization with substantial numbers of patents to identify target organizations that may be interested in licensing said patents. The database combines the power of citation analysis for identifying licensing targets with the power of citation neighbor searching for identifying similar patents and for overcoming some of the weaknesses inherent with citation analysis. A company can identify targets outside of its core industry that may be interested in licensing the technology in its patents.
