3D时代即将来临

汤森路透知识产权解决方案业务部调查了2003—2009年期间3D技术领域的专利活动。通过分析已公布专利申请和授权专利中包含的发明的总数，研究人员确定了专利活动增长最快的3D技术领域。研究发现，3D技术的利润链已延伸至好莱坞之外。数据显示，娱乐领域的3D技术创新呈快速增长之势。实际上，在3D技术专利活动数量最多的三大领域中，3D电影位居末席，排在3D电视和3D摄影之后。按照目前3D技术领域的创新活动水平，通过家庭平板电视观看3D广告以及翻阅孩子们的3D相册将指日可待。

Coming Soon in 3-D...Everything! Patent Data Shows Rise in 3-D Entertainment Innovations

The 1P Solutions business of Thomson Reuters tracked patent activity across the 3-D landscape from 2003 to 2009. By analyzing the total numbers of unique inventions in published patent applications and granted patents between 2003 and 2009, researchers were able to identify the areas of 3-D technology development that have been growing fastest. The research finds that interest in 3-D does not stop in Hollywood. In fact, among the three areas showing the most 3-D-related patent activity, 3-D cinema ranks third behind 3-D television and 3-D photography. Based on the level of innovative activity in the 3-D space, it appears that we may soon be watching 3-D commercials on our fiat-screen televisions and paging through the 3-D memories of our children＇s photo albums as well.
