Patents or utility models are industrial property titles granted by the State to the author of an invention, by which it is granted, in exchange for being given to public knowledge, the right to exploit it exclusively in the national territory during a certain time.

Science, technology and production are more and more diverse  in all industrial sectors, and therefore, the design process of new technology has increased in complexity and difficulty. Thus it becomes more necessary to have a good system for monitoring of technological progress trends, in applied research and in the rest of the activities of the innovation process.

Patent information can be a powerful tool not only for monitoring, but for foresight and planning technology development process and scientific  and technological investigations
for different purposes.
