The principle focus of this report is to create a broad patent landscape around the software-defined virtualized networking intellectual property domain. The broad domain collection for this report was created by matching the phrases "network virtualization" AND ("software defined network" OR "software-defined network") anywhere in the title, abstract, description or claims of the patent documents available in Google’s BigQuery data warehouse in the patents.publications dataset. These phrases are queried in a logical fashion such that the matching of these phrases in any of the specified sections, will include that patent document in the domain collection. The patent documents query was executed on a worldwide basis across all US and international patent documents contained in Google’s dataset.
