TIAX (Part 3) - Expertise

“I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.” -- Groucho Marx (American Comedian, Actor and Singer, 1890-1977)

In Part 3 of  the TIAX case study, we continue to ride the hyperlink express by changing trains. We hop off of the Assignee train and onto the Inventor train. 

First, we revisit the familiar ExxonMobil patent (https://www.google.com/patents/US8490581?dq=US8490581+B2&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XNZWU_rRJsLcyQGa_4DwBw&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA)  and click the TIAX hyperlink in the Assignee field.  The result is list of some 380 TIAX patents.

Second, we click a patent, then click one or more of the inventor hyperlinks.

Third, we make a note of the inventor and the number of patents he or she has produced.

Tabulating the total, we can get a good picture of the most productive inventors, and hence those individuals with the greatest expertise in a particular field.

Here, for example, is a list of TIAX affiliated inventors from the first two pages of Google Patents results …
