The Aduna map below visually highlights the three hearing related technology concepts within the data set. It is observed that hearing assistance technology (in pink) contains the highest number of patent families associated only with this concept. Patent innovation related to both hearing enhancement and assistance (where the pink and green points intersect) has the highest instance of ‘cross over’ in relation to hearing technology meaning that there are a larger number of patents coving both concepts of this technology. Opportunities on a broad level can be identified by locating low levels of patent ‘cross over’ activity. In terms of hearing technology, opportunity lies in ‘cross over’ innovation between hearing enhancement and restoration technology (where the green and blue points intersect) and with innovation that involves all three concepts related to hearing device technology (the middle point of the map).
