Frequently asked questions

An idea whose highest-weighted trend signal is real patent filing activity for the trend it's matched to - not simply any idea that happens to relate to patents.

Patent filings show where inventors and companies are already investing R&D dollars, often years before a product reaches the market - an early, hard-to-fake signal of where technical innovation is heading.

No - each idea has exactly one primary trend source signal, so it appears on exactly one of the four source pages, never more than one.
