Share Map

<p>Overview

A Share Map shows who filed an application for a patent relating to a specific technology. It is

also used to indicate the distribution of applications filed by technical element which the applications

relate to.

A Share Map is usually presented in the form of a pie chart distributed by percentage. However,

to indicate changes over time, a Share Map may also be shown as a bar graph or band graph.
