==Objective==
'''Primary objective of the study was to prepare a technology landscape on usage of interferon for the treatment of melanoma.'''
To achieve our objective we performed following steps:
*Create a multi level taxonomy to categorize the patents using interferon for melanoma treatment
*Mark out relevant IPC, ECLA, US classes and Japanese F-term available for technology in question.
*Identify and club relevant keywords with classes to extract relevant patents.
*Check for patents in US, EP, PCT, JP, Great Britain, and German patent records
*Perform MPI-INPADOC search which cover bibliographic data for 71 countries and legal status for 42 countries
*Analyze the patents and prepare a dashboard covering relevant patents for client usage.
