How context changes over time
Signals, events, regulatory changes, publications, patents, investments, contradictions and inquiries on one axis, per industry. Longitudinal by design: the observatory is a series, not a snapshot.
Where Brazilian patenting moved, 1995–2023
MINERVA reads the same INPI corpus as the IP Lens, but along the time axis: how fast each IPC area grows or falls, and how concentrated its filings are. The timeline above carries the events we track; this carries the long series underneath them.
Live from MINERVA over the INPI corpus, 1995–2023. The interface is published in Brazilian Portuguese.
