Before a new product comes out, a lot of work needs to be done in the laboratory and test bench to generate new ideas and acquire new knowledge, which is the basis for developing and producing a more perfect new product. In doing this work, we need to collect and process a lot of patent and technical information, and we need to study the existing scheme of this product in the market, so as to develop competitive products. In order to achieve this goal, we need a classified information structure, that is, we need a map, which can clearly and conveniently reflect all the existing scheme forms of products, and the evolutionary tree has this function.
After the patent information and technical information are structured and integrated into an evolutionary tree, the development of the products to be developed by the company can be predicted in detail, so that enterprises can take evidence-based measures to develop their careers. Using evolutionary tree can better avoid competitors' patents and protect their own technical solutions, including establishing the so-called patent umbrella.
Using the patent tree, we can also effectively see the overall development of the technical system and all its main scheme forms, including the most unique and promising scheme forms. This is especially important in the strategic planning of production, innovation and business.
