Abstract
This chapter introduces text mining of patents in support of technology management. Technological innovation models point to empirical measures that relate to prospects for successful commercialisation. We present an 8-step process for analysing entire patent sets on a given topic to generate such ‘innovation indicators.’l We illustrate for the case of fuel cells.
