[Objective] SciMAT is used to determine the themes dynamic evolutions in the specific area. [Methods] The records on patent analysis from WoS databases are analyzed and the visual maps based on SciMAT are drawn and analyzed to explore the evolutions of patent analysis. [Results] The most important topics in patent analysis from WoS databases mainly include knowledge management, patent analysis technologies and how to promote the development of enterprises and industries by patents. The new hot topics include intellectual property, knowledge transfer and how to judge the evolution trends. [Conclusions] SciMAT can be used to effectively reveal the themes evolutions from different views by combining indicators reflecting quality characteristics and a varity of maps.
