Intelligence

Server-first

Compare

Patent intelligence for public-facing comparison and forecasting.

Compare places on technologies like biotech, then move into nowcasting and futurecasting without dumping every internal diagnostic on the public page.

Run a comparison

Keep the public UI simple: choose a place, a technology, and a benchmark mode. The retrieval and comparison logic stays on the server.

Benchmark mode

Compare against places at the same geography level within the same country where possible.

Forecast default

Publication-date nowcasting is designed to be corrected from priority-to-publication lags, led by patent office effects.

Comparative answer

Biotechnology is not visible as a leading domain for North West in the bundled 2022 inventor-region atlas output. The stronger visible signals are Medical technology (11.6%), Other special machines (8.9%), Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (6.6%), Civil engineering (6.4%), Pharmaceuticals (5.9%).

Direct evidence and estimated benchmark logic are kept separate in the response.

Patent families are deduplicated before spatial weighting and scoring.

Method and sources

• Patent families are deduplicated before spatial weighting and scoring.
• Complexity scores are computed from RTA-style binary presence matrices with ECI/PCI-style second-eigenvector extraction.
• All geography-level tables are precomputed for server-side loading; geometries are joined lazily in the API layer.
