state of the art in technology
and ad hoc studies
A portfolio of customized studies
Do you need a one-off study, an analysis, a mapping exercise, or regular monitoring reports?
Entrust our experts with the task of finding useful information in world literature, analyzing it and synthesizing it for you.
TKM, an expert in the analysis of technological, scientific, and economic data, conducts studies and state-of-the-art reviews for numerous innovation stakeholders. Its primary objective is to provide them with rapid access to relevant and useful information for R&D projects, patent applications, fundraising, and the search for clients or partners.
State of the art
Provide a detailed technological overview
Prepared by our experts, a State of the Art is a structured and in-depth one-off study that comprehensively maps a technological, industrial or scientific field.
It relies on a precise research strategy and a detailed analysis of reliable sources (patents, publications, specialized data) to identify and interpret key knowledge, trends, strategic players and emerging technologies.
Gain a precise, contextualized view that your teams can directly use.
Industrial Property Report
Securing your patent application, verifying your freedom to operate, or monitoring your competitors
Prepared by our IP experts, the Strategic Industrial Property Analysis Report helps to identify the risks, competitors and opportunities related to the industrial property of an R&D project.
It relies on targeted analyses, including a mapping of existing patents within the defined scope (FTO or LibEx, prior art, circumvention)
TKM does not intervene in the filing process itself, nor in the defense of your securities. However, it allows you to have a complete strategic overview.
Securing and optimizing your patent application process
App search
Identify usage and market opportunities
Conducted by our experts, Application Research is a study that identifies and maps the potential areas of use for a technology
It is based on a targeted analysis of scientific and technical literature, focusing research on use and/or economic development
Identify the concrete applications of a technology
Technology Benchmark
Positioning your innovation
Conducted by our experts, the Benchmark is a comparative study that identifies and analyzes the solutions available on a market: products, features, uses, and positioning
It is based on structured research using multiple sources (patents, publications, specialized data, web, etc.), including a mapping of key players and patents
To position oneself against best market practices, identify competitiveness gaps, and stimulate innovation
Enhanced creativity
Stimulating collaborative innovation
Led by our experts in person, Open Ideation is a short, interactive, and visually engaging workshop that stimulates teams' thinking on innovation
It presents a structured overview of innovations, products, uses, patents, and trends on a given theme. This approach to instrumental creativity opens up a world of possibilities
Leveraging data to uncover new insights, generate innovative solutions, and solve complex problems
