description The life cycle of product development and process innovation has been a subject of research among the innovation scholars and industrial policy makers. While the theoretical perspective of life cycle is found useful to narrate a technological and economic development process, it also inspires scholars to pursue the exploration of convergence process of different technological system and industrial agglomeration. In this paper, we present an evolutionary perspective of how patent keyword clusters evolve at ,different phases of the technological life cycle. We propose an approach to map the technological life cycle of herbal medicine - sector and explore the evolving knowledge clusters of the major industrial agglomerations in Malaysia. We perform mapping of knowledge cluster based on keywords found in the extracted patent documents, portfolio and co-patenting analysis, cross correlation analysis o~ patent classes and systematic assessment on the evolution of patenting network. For traditional medicine industry, we observe evidence of convergence of modern biotechnological methods with existing herbal medicine innovations resulting in the strengthening of patent clusters and penetration of herbal medicine in novel niches. For industrial agglomeration case, we found different convergence of innovations take place at different part of industrial clusters in Malaysia.
