Abstract
Modern patent information analysis requires, in addition to profound domain knowledge, sophisticated and specialized computer software tools. Integration of such resources can be a challenging task.
In this paper we discuss advantages and pitfalls of combining multiple software resources in a large patent landscaping project, using a custom-configured patent software integration tool.
