Supporting mobility on the road to Electrification, Autonomy and Connectivity
Automotive Industry Taxonomy
We developed the first Automotive Taxonomy in 2018 in collaboration with a number of OEMs and their suppliers. Today, we are the leading provider of custom taxonomies for those needing to navigate patented technologies across the entire automative ecosystem.

With Cipher, in a few hours I can produce a high quality, insightful report where previously I would pay $20,000 and wait 2 months – for a report that didn’t answer my questions.

Building a Taxonomy for the Automotive Industry
A Taxonomy for patented technologies for Automotive could include the following:
- Autonomous systems
- Cabin Systems
- Chassis and body
- Complete vehicle systems
- Drivetrain
- Electrical Power systems
- Internal combustion
- Mobility and connectivity
- Safety
- Vehicle dynamics
To find out more about what classifiers could be included, download our example below. Alternatively, why not look into obtaining your own Custom Taxonomy?
