get_portfolio_value_distribution

Analyze patent valuation distribution by technology space to identify lucrative areas. Use keywords, IPC codes, or filters like application dates and authorities to refine results. Excludes design patents.

Instructions

Assess the lucrativeness of a technology space based on the spread of estimated patent valuation (simple families). Higher value buckets indicate more lucrative technologies. Design patents are excluded. Note: Search must contain either keywords or IPC. If both are provided, IPC is prioritized.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`apply_end_time`	No	Patent application end year (yyyy format). Filters by application filing date.
`apply_start_time`	No	Patent application start year (yyyy format). Filters by application filing date.
`authority`	No	Patent authority code (e.g., CN, US, EP, JP). Filters by patent office. Use OR for multiple, e.g., "US OR EP".
`ipc`	No	Patent IPC classification code. Used to specify a particular technology field.
`keywords`	No	Keywords to search within patent title and abstract/summary. Supports AND, OR, NOT logic. Example: "mobile phone AND (screen OR battery)"
`public_end_time`	No	Patent publication end year (yyyy format). Filters by publication date.
`public_start_time`	No	Patent publication start year (yyyy format). Filters by publication date.
