[Objective] This paper tries to quantify the diffusion of technology topics based on patent data, aiming to predict their dissemination in advance. [Methods] First, we constructed the technology diffusion relationship with the patent citation data. Then,we constructed a comprehensive measuring index for technology diffusion from their strength, speed and breadth. Finally, we built the model measuring technology topic diffusion. [Results] We examined our model with 100 topics in the graphene field, which quickly identified topics with high comprehensive diffusion scores. We also found the diffusion directions of graphene patents. [Limitations] We only normalized three measuring indice for technology diffusion with Min-Max Scaling, while their weights not beening optimized for the applications. [Conclusions] The proposed model could help us find intelligence effectively with the help of multiple measurements.
