Patent Landscape Report Laser Technology

Introduction

In this Patent Landscape Report Laser Technology, patent trends have been presented in detail to understand the research and development activities happening around the world. The report will also present a competitive landscape focusing on active players in the laser industry, growth strategies, value chain analysis and detailed profiling of critical companies.

Patent landscape analysis of laser technology has been done for the previous five years with the priority filing date on or after January 1, 2014. The patent dataset consists of around 29,990 patent families. As the laser technology covers a wide scope of patent consideration, patents solely related to core lasing set-ups are considered in the relevant dataset. Patent landscape is dominated by commercial companies compared to universities and research institutes.

Japan is the leading innovation geography with 8960 patent families registering Japan as a priority country followed by the US.Mitsubishi Group has the maximum number of patents on laser technology followed by Disco Corporation and Toyota Group.70 percent of the patent filings are done by companies whereas universities and research institutes are assignees for approximately 8 percent of the filings. Hon Hai Precision and Hamamatsu Photonics are gradually increasing their laser portfolio in recent years. Corning Inc, Fujikura Ltd. are also actively filing patents in laser technology.

Laser technology Patent Trends

The number of patent applications concerning LASER are expected to be consistent over the next few years based on the observed filing trends during the period before 2019. As every new device or appliance needs more and more sensors or communication means, hence LASERs find application here, due to their cheap cost of manufacture, simplicity of incorporation or utilization and the diverse variety of ways they could be built. Hence, the potential for LASER applications is enormous and will touch almost every aspect of life and deliver encouragement for forthcoming technological innovations.

The study presents a detailed analysis of research activities in Laser technology market, identifying key patent assignees and inventors. It also highlight academic and corporate collaborations, and litigation and licensing environment. Further analysis of crucial patent filing trends across technology application segments and end-user market segments provide a detailed understanding of emerging innovations in the market.
