Global Miniaturized Gas Sensors Patent Landscape Report 2016: Comparison of IP and Market Position of Key Players - Research and Markets

DUBLIN, Mar. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Miniaturized Gas Sensors Patent Landscape" report to their offering.

This report investigates the patent landscape of miniaturized gas sensors that could be used in consumer applications, i.e. patents claiming gas sensing technologies with very innovative approaches, based on existing MEMS/Semiconductor/Optical integration platforms and manufactured by micro-fabricating processes. 

Nowadays, the number of enforceable patents is increasing worldwide, and several companies already stand out by their strong IP position. All of these signs suggest the market start.

Now it is a critical time for understanding the global patent landscape of miniaturized gas sensors through in-depth patent analyses of key technologies and key players, in order to anticipate changes, harvest business opportunities, mitigate risks and make strategidecisions to strengthen one's market position and maximize return on one's IP portfolio.
