Sixty percent of the time and forty percent of the cost spent in the process of R&D can be reduced by retrieving and reviewing these patent documents. Thus, patent database comprises patents which provide useful information for firms to conduct R&D and to innovate. As the development of industry and economy, every country improves the engineering quality and material quality to the best they can. This trend at the same time improves the innovation and development of the material testing machines. By the mutual demand of different industries, there are different types of material testing machines, e.g., impact testing machine, tensile testing machines, fatigue testing machines and so on. The study focuses on using universal material testing machine as a theme, the relative keywords can be used for retrieving and finally generating a patent map. After generating the patent map, analyses including patent management area and technology area are conducted. These analyses can offer the machining industry and firms more exhaustive insights and strategic direction for future R&D regarding the technology/product of universal material testing machine.
