The University of Melbourne, Swinburne University of Technology and Mondelēz International have collaborated to develop a novel IP (intellectual property) searching technique that focuses on consumer identified attributes of premium food products. Leveraging patent data from the Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN), patent data is analysed to deepen the understanding of the premium food innovation landscapes for China, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Korea, Japan and India.

What’s in it for business?

Patenting activity represents a significant investment of resource by the patent applicant and analysis of patenting activity provides a window into innovation investments by company / country/ category etc. Patent activity information can be a valuable market intelligence resource for manufacturers looking to enter into new markets, and can reveal innovation trends for the market, potential competitors or partners and new technology opportunities.

A case study demonstrating the use of IP assets for market intelligence focusing on dairy innovation in China can be accessed via the Publications page.
