Stay ahead of the game by monitoring competitors through a technology lens

Competitive Intelligence

Understanding the competitive landscape is foundational information that sits at the heart of any strategy. With the ability to produce global landscape reports and sophisticated alerting, you can use intellectual property and patents as reliable data for key competitive information. Understand the share of inventions in a particular technology area and which invention areas are showing the most growth.

Cipher can monitor new technologies and provide insight about corporates and technology trends.
