Digital twinning, a real-time simulation that relies on IoT for data, is maturing as the next mega-industry.  Digital twinning is another child of “Big Data” because it is enabled by the massive amounts of realtime data that IoT can deliver.  As you can see from the Patent Forecast® Patent Radian® , jumping into the digital twinning fray are GE, Siemens, Pure Storage, Strong Force Intellectual Capital and Desktop Metal. GE and Siemens have been working on simulation before the IoT revolution. Pure Storage is a newcomer, but has been successful in getting issued patents. Late to the game is non-practicing entity Strong Force Intellectual Capital, which has recently filed over 100 applications, none of which have issued. Finally, rounding out the top five is Desktop Metal, which is focused on 3D printing. Discover who else is moving into the sector with the Digital Twinning Patent Forecast®.
