Patent Information is a gold mine of information both Technical and Business related. This is unique information that is rarely found in other sources likes journals or books.

However despite this the use of Patent information is inadequate. This may expose start-ups, who are often in high technology domain, to several business risk.

My research area is about use and non-use of Patent system by Incubated Start-ups in Engineering Institutes. If start-ups are using then what is the utility and for what they are using it e.g for ascertaining technology. If they are not using then what are the reasons for such non or lack of use
