The aim of this paper is to define a method for uncovering smart city technology
trends using competitive technical intelligence processes focused on intellectual property
analysis using data visualisation. The authors introduce ways of gathering relevant core
bibliographic data on the desired technology together with search preparation and query
building. For demonstration purposes, the authors have used the European Patent Office
datasets. The aim of this paper is to define a method for smart city competitive intelligence
analysis focused on the main innovative companies and organizations and specific
technology trends. The time period between the years 1997 and 2017 is used. Based on
the results, the authors have indicated that Samsung is the leader in intelligent city
innovations in this period. Five main product invention categories were also identified.... view less
