yogsoth-ai Landscape Survey
Full-scan patent landscape analysis. Maps the technology domain by identifying key assignees, classifying by IPC/CPC taxonomy, and analyzing filing trends over time.
Purpose
Produce a comprehensive patent landscape map for a given technology domain, answering: Who are the key players? What are the main technology branches? How is filing activity trending?
Budget
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Patent families analyzed | 200 |
| Claim parses | 0 |
| Web searches completed | 80 |
State Ledger
| Metric | Target | Current | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patent families analyzed | 200 | 0 | 0% |
| Web searches completed | 80 | 0 | 0% |
| Assignees identified | — | 0 | — |
| IPC/CPC classes mapped | — | 0 | — |
HARD-GATE: Cannot exit iteration loop until 80% of patent families (160) and web searches (64) budget met.
Available Tactics
| Tactic | When to Use |
|---|---|
| patent-family-tracing | Expand from seed patents to full family coverage |
| classification-navigation | Drill into IPC/CPC hierarchy to find all relevant subclasses |
Available SOPs
| SOP | Role in This Strategy |
|---|---|
| patent-query-formulation | Generate initial search queries for the domain |
| patent-categorization | Classify discovered patents into technology sub-domains |
| assignee-normalization | Standardize assignee names across patent offices |
| trend-analysis | Analyze filing volume time-series and lifecycle curves |
| quality-scoring | Rank patent families by quality metrics |
| saturation-detection | Check if landscape scan has converged |
| patent-synthesis | Produce final landscape report |
Execution Guidance
- Query formulation — Use
patent-query-formulationto generate keyword + IPC/CPC + assignee search strategies - Broad search — Execute web searches across patent databases (Google Patents, Espacenet, USPTO)
- Family tracing — Use
patent-family-tracingtactic to expand from top results - Classification drill — Use
classification-navigationtactic to find related technology branches - Categorization — Classify all found patents using
patent-categorization - Assignee normalization — Standardize names with
assignee-normalization - Trend analysis — Run
trend-analysison the full dataset - Saturation check — Use
saturation-detectionto confirm convergence - Synthesis — Produce final report with
patent-synthesis

Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|---|
| classification-navigation | IPC/CPC hierarchy drill-down and lateral expansion for patent discovery |
| patent-family-tracing | Forward/backward patent citation and priority tracing until saturation |
Available SOPs
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| SOP | When to use |
|---|---|
| assignee-normalization | Standardize assignee names and identify corporate group affiliations across patent offices |
| knowledge-acquisition-saturation-detection | Determine when additional searching yields diminishing returns. Analyzes the latest expansion batch against existing corpus to judge continue/near-saturation/saturated. Used by snowball and systematic-survey. |
| patent-categorization | Classify patents by tech subdomain, application scenario, and value chain position |
| patent-query-formulation | Construct keyword + IPC/CPC + assignee combination search strategies for patent databases |
| patent-synthesis | Produce final structured patent intelligence report from all analysis results |
| quality-scoring | Multi-dimensional patent quality assessment — forward citations, family size, claim count, geographic breadth |
| trend-analysis | Patent filing volume time-series, technology lifecycle stage, and S-curve analysis |
