Need to identifying emerging technology

Current emerging tech work/new approach

• Benson CL, Magee CL (2015) Quantitative Determination of Technological

Improvement from Patent Data

• Carley SF, Newman NC, Porter AL, Garner JG (2017) A measure of staying

power: Is the persistence of emergent concepts more significantly influenced

by technical domain or scale?, Scientometrics

• Erdi P, Makovi K, Somogyvari Z, Tobochnik J, Volf P, Zalanyi L (2012)

“Prediction of emerging technologies based on analysis of the US patent

citation network” Scientometrics (2013)

• Daim T, Rueda G, Martin H, Gerdsri P (2005) “Forecasting emerging

technologies: Use of bibliometrics and patent analysis”

• Buchanan B, Corken R (2010) Disruptive technology: a toolkit,

The seven basic plots

• Overcoming the monster

• Rags to Riches

• The Quest

• Voyage and Return

• Comedy

• Tragedy

• Rebirth

Our question

Can the patenting behaviour surrounding

historically ground breaking products be

used to identify ground breaking,

disruptive or emerging technologies?

Next steps

1. Identify variables synonymous within the ground

breaking technology groups

2. Group patent data into technology groups and search for

patterns like those synonymous with ground breaking

technology groups
