What is this metric used for?

The New Bets helps to visualize on which new technologies my competitors are  positioning themselves.

The New Bets highlight new topics on which your competitors are positioning themselves. They allow you to quickly visualize the emerging technologies in your competitive environment and that are positioned on top. They thus provide a strategic weak signal.

How is the graphic built?

The graph is built using the IPC codes of the players' patents on a topic. Only the new classifications that have emerged in the last 4 years are considered and put into perspective with the players who have filed. Thus you visualize the new classifications on the left, and you identify the players who are just starting to patent on them on the right.
