In the fast-paced and highly competitive semiconductor industry, the strategic utilization of Intellectual Property (IP) competitive intelligence could emerge as a pivotal factor for success. Indeed, in most cases, patent analysis is used for legal purposes such as freedom to operate, evidence of use, and litigation. However, by scrutinizing competitors' patent portfolios it is also possible to identify technological roadmaps, marketing strategies, etc. while mitigating/evaluating risks. This talk will provide insights to how IP may be used to understand some emerging ecosystems (Power Electronics, SiC, GaN) and early detect new opportunities.
