Patent search
2rounds of research
Search the record
We searched active patents and pending applications in North America and Europe for relevant binders.
Case Study · IP Landscape
Charting the IP behind greener binders.
A global building materials manufacturer wanted to understand the patent landscape for eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free thermoset resins. We profiled about 700 patents and showed where competitors were active and where opportunities remained.
The Client
The client is a global building materials manufacturer. It wanted to know where it could still file new patents for greener binders.
The Challenge
Crowded patents.
Find the open space.
Prescouter was asked to map patents on sugar-based, protein-based and other formaldehyde-free thermoset resins, track competitor activity and highlight open and missed opportunities for new patent applications.
-
Chemistry
Bio-based binders
Sugar, protein and other chemistries.
-
Applications
Building and beyond
From insulation to corrugated board.
-
Geography
North America and Europe
Active patents and pending filings.
Our Approach
Profiling the patent record two rounds at a time.
Patent profiles
700patents profiled
Profile each patent
Each entry covered chemistry, applications, key dates, estimated expiry, value and claims.
Trend reports
2analytical reports
Analyze the trends
Reports showed filing trends, legal status, key classes, key assignees and top value patents.
The Outcome
A clear map of the resin IP space.
Prescouter profiled about 700 patents across two rounds and delivered two analytical reports. They covered filing trends, legal status, key patent classes, likely competitors and the patents with the most claims and the highest value.
