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.

Key Features Of The Report:

- IP trends including time evolutions and countries of patent filings
- Current legal status of patents
- Ranking of main patent applicants
- Joint developments and IP collaboration network of main patent applicants
- Key patents and granted patents near expiration
- Relative strength of main companies' IP portfolios 
- Matrix showing patent applicants and their patented technologies
- Segmentation of patents by gas sensor technology: Electrical detector (FET, CMOS, MOS/MIS), chemical sensor, optical detector, acoustic detector, gas chromatography, electro-chemical gas sensor, thermal gas sensor, gas sensor with CNTs/Graphene, electro-mechanical gas sensors
