Abstract
This paper aims to present a novel concept roadmap-the patent roadmap-and suggest an advanced patent roadmapping process, based on the Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) and Bass diffusion model. The process for patent roadmapping is composed of two modules: Developing the GTM-based patent map and determining the appearance time of the emerging patent through Bass model. The result of this research is meaningful knowledge from analyzing a vast store of patent data with quantitative methods and automated tools. It can serve as an effective patent planning tool, and proposes a strategic Research and Business Development (R&BD) for both firms and governments.
