PT/f: Technology Adoption / Diffusion (S-Curve)

S-curves represent the generational improvements in technology within this area over time, and at what point a particular technology

enters the curve. The curves are used to visualize (a) the probable useful life of a patent (based on the number of generations of

improvement since the issuance of this patent), and (b) the adoption of this technology by other industry areas, or the diffusion of

technology to spawn related innovation.

The value of this patent is tied positively to a number of S-curve factors: Higher value technologies appear closer to the front of a new

S-curve, and the steeper, longer curves indicate a larger market. A dispositive factor is the appearance of many generations of

technology improvement (more discrete S-curves) since this patent appeared; this may indicate a a more rapid obsolescence (shorter

useful life) of that patent's technology.

S-Curve charts below show the number of related patents (gold line) occurring within each year (X Axis).

The green triangles arrows show the issue and filing year of patent US 5340197 in relation to all other patents in the series.

The dashed line "S-Curve" is the geometric mean average of patent activity occurring during the series years.

A decline in the number of patents in the most recent years may indicate either:

a. an actual decline in patent activity within this technology area,

b. a delay in public notification (not yet issued or published), or

c. the assignment of this technology to a new patent classification (i.e., reclassification) not tracked by this report.

TABLE F

100 Patents Most Relevant to Patent US 7934041 About S-Curve

This S-Curve plots the 100 patents most closely related to

patent US 7934041 based on the Semantic search of the

claims of this patent, regardless of patent classification.

The most relevant patents may have been issued in patent

classifications different from the classification of this patent,

indicating the possible diffusion of this technology across

various product or industry sectors.

The date range (X axis) is from the earliest to latest issue date

of the 100 most relevant patents.

Any year not shown means that none of the 100 most relevant

patents were issued during that year.

TABLE G

25 Year Trend, Year Issued, Main Classification 710 About S-Curve

Seminal patents within a patent classification typically occur

at the steepest transition between the "long flat tail" and the

rapid rise in the curve.

If patent US 7934041 is closer to the Front of an S-Curve, it is

considered to be a more important technology upon which

rapid improvement or subsequent diffusion is based.

A sequence of individual S-Curves indicates a succession of

noticeable improvements in this technology area - know as

"technology generations". The technological importance and

economic value of this patent may diminish with each

subsequent generation since it issued, regardless of where it

resides on the S-Curve within its own generation.
