It is said that the intelligence agencies of various countries apply more than 90% of their activities to OSINT (open source intelligence). OSINT is a method of obtaining information by continuously checking media such as newspapers, magazines, and the Internet.
Patents are a valuable source of information for investigating corporate activities, especially those related to research and development. This is because it costs a certain amount of money to obtain a patent. So companies consider whether the technology is worth filing a patent application. Of course, technical papers are also important.
