Abstract
During the product development, patents help identify new project opportunities and, if well analyzed, can reveal technical strategies in terms of how countries, companies, and universities link patents and product development. In the context of the agricultural machinery sector there is a complexity in the integration of data from patents with the stages of development conceptions. In this context, the article aims to present how the information obtained from a patent bank can be used for the development of agricultural machinery. As a methodology, the Systematic Bibliographic Review was selected to identify and relate strategies that add value throughout the agricultural machinery project. As a result, research has shown that the use of patent information can assist in the development of agricultural machinery from technical data. In addition, patents are characterized as a valuable source of technological information, as it is inexpensive and capable of feeding a company in its own research activity and in the development of new products. It is concluded that the information from patents, suggested as strategies in the model of agricultural machinery development, allows for managerial and technical decisions aimed at improving products. Finally, the research contributed to fill the information gap between patents and the development of agricultural machinery, a diffusion of data that, if well connected, can promote a competitive differential in companies.
Highlights
The importance of patent analysis is related to the statistical, analytical and comparative methods that are used to examine the information contained in a patent document and is widely applied in research and technological development capacity of countries and companies (Pyng et al, 2012)
Title and Summary Analysis = 45 b) Activity in the PDMA: this search will map, in more detail, what information comes from patents that should compose each aspect of the model, through which the deliveries listed in the first layer can be reached
This relationship recognizes the considerably different management challenges for the company if it wants to involve the patent in MR-PDMA as a source of technological information
Summary
The importance of patent analysis is related to the statistical, analytical and comparative methods that are used to examine the information contained in a patent document and is widely applied in research and technological development capacity of countries and companies (Pyng et al, 2012). Patents are necessary to identify technological trends and help tailoring technology development planning because they provide a general understanding of the historical development of a product to its present stage (Kim et al, 2016). It is on the basis of this completeness that data, information and technological knowledge are usually obtained or created, developed, accumulated and kept secret by the companies that own or hold them, and may or may not be protected by an intellectual property regime (Di Blasi, 2005; Carrara and Russo, 2017). There is a gap between developing a patent and making use of patent information that has already been registered for better identifying strategies in the development of new technological products (Pereira et al, 2017)
