PDF, Patent Landscape Report on Atazanavir - WIPO

USING OVERLAP TO FIND COMBINATIONS OF INTERESTBy segmenting the collection into overlapping subcollections dealing with specific topics, itis possible to develop a matrix that documents the overlap and allows the user to focus oninventions that include overlaps of specific interest. In Figure 42, this has been performedfor the Atazanavir collection. Areas of high overlap, such as the use of protease inhibitorstogether with reverse transcriptase inhibitors and integrase inhibitors are notable, as is thefocus on Inflammatory Disease and Cancer. This matrix was created using an application(Thomson Data Analyzer®) that allows click-through to the records of interest. The ExcelAppendix permits a similar focusing by using filtering.Figure 42.
