Graphene patent landscape: Asia rising
• Massive increase in patent filings in Asia
• Much of the increase in patent filings in South Korea can be attributed to Samsung’s graphene patent activity. The increase in Chinese patent filings is more difficult to account for. Many Chinese patents were filed in 2011 and full details are not yet in the public domain.
Nanomaterials: Complex and evolving value chain
‘nano’ is a cross-cutting horizontal, not a vertical ‘industry’
Manufacture Integration Distribution
• Cross-cutting horizantal not a vertically integrated industry
• End-markets and applications are likely to remain very diverse – hence no single group of dominant players
• Evolving and disaggregated value chains – its not a vertical, but a horizontal with diverse end-markets and applications
• The value chain is surrounded by key service providers, facility providers, equipment providers and other supporters
• Patents protect every stage in the value chain – these can support and block new entrants in
specific stages and around specific application areas

Graphene: A fast developing research-enabled
technology space, encompassing a very extensive
set of potential markets and applications. • Graphene is the first 2D crystal discovered, with unusual electronic, optical
and mechanical properties.
• Graphene is of interest across industry fields as diverse as semiconductors
and biotechnology.
• Many graphene technology applications are in sectors which are notoriously
patent and litigation intensive
Examples of graphene applications include:
• Faster computers: More efficient transistors based on graphene could result
in thinner computer chips which use less energy and work faster.
• More sensitive and robust sensors: Biotech sensor devices, environmental
monitoring, oil & gas sensors
• Thinner and flexible displays: Flexible and transparent electronics
• Tougher and more conductive polymer composites: Much like multi-wall
nanotubes (MWNT), graphene polymer composites can make polymers and
other products, like natural rubber, stronger and electrically conductive.
Why graphene?
• Our report ‘Patenting flatland: Graphene – Exploitation
challenges’ builds on research and analysis around
university graphene patent activity, recently presented
in Nature Materials: Tannock, Q. Exploiting carbon
flatland, Nature Materials, Vol 11, 2-5, (2012)
• CambridgeIP research for Nature Materials around the graphene patent
activity and collaborations of universities has been updated and
extended to analyse the entire graphene patent landscape and focus
additionally on the activities of major corporations and leading SMEs.
In addition the report considers the impact of leaders in the publication
of non-patent literature on the patent landscape
• The report is 70 pages long and contains 45 tables and figures
• Our dataset ‘Graphene patents’ is an expert verified
dataset of all graphene patents and patent applications
globally recovered in our research – more than 2,000. All
key patent information fields and all major jurisdictions are
covered.
Patenting flatland: Graphene - Overview
Patent trends over time
Corporate/University R&D networks
• CambridgeIP brings its significant experience in building
patent-based technology intelligence with leading
technologists and investors to create Technology Profile
Reports.
• CambridgeIP’s patent-based approach provides a
different perspective to understanding investment in
R&D, geographical distribution and size of markets,
market value chains, how a technology area is evolving
and what are the fundamental drivers of its long-term
performance.
• Our analysis helps readers identify and assess those
technologies where commercial value is concentrated.
Patents cost money and significant organisational
resources to secure and maintain. Patents can provide
a useful indication of those technologies that patent
holders are prepared to spend money to protect.

• Working with the client’s senior technical and business
representatives we defined the client’s technology and market
spaces
• We identified two technology focus areas of critical
importance to the client’s technology with the client and
performed an IP Landscape report these two areas
• The client was backed by a major UK government funding organisation.
• The CEO of the company required deep intelligence about industry incumbents’ R&D strategy.
• The client also needed independent analysis of the industry’s patent landscape for use in technology licensing negotiations and
structuring a strategic partnership.
Business situation

A top UK University spin-out approached us for an IP Landscape report.
Client profile
CS 2: University spin-off, competitor strategy analysis
using patent-based Intelligence
• The resulting patent-based intelligence was used in
negotiations by our client.
• The client felt that the findings on competitors’ patenting
activity helped secure a go-ahead for a joint venture with a
major industry player: “The strategic partner’s reaction to the
report’s findings was startling: immediately inviting us to their
HQ to meet with their Head of Development to finalize an
agreement towards jointly developing a product.”
• The report has also been used by the client when applying for
participation Framework 7 programs, by demonstrating the

Company 7 15 6 2003 400 1.8% 100.0%
The example shows how patent data can be
used to analyse the R&D strategy of
competitors, and to develop licensing strategy.
The findings suggest that Company 7 is
aggressively expanding into the client’s field: it
has the highest growth rate of patenting
activity. In turn Company 2 is most dependent
on this field for its strategic success: 100% of
its patents are in the field of focus.
