Main concerns1. Humongous databases

Several tables with millions of rows

2. A different unit of analysis Patent vs Countries, sectors, firms or individuals

3. Difficulties to match with other economic data e.g. Individuals names or firm consolidation

4. Static vs dynamic fields e.g. Original applicant or last owner

5. Time lag Up to 4 years if application date considered

6. IP tacit knowledge Too many tricks and traps

Other academic initiatives

• Main topics:– Technological outcomes

• OECD, EUROSTAT, etc.– Academic patenting

• Lissoni F, Stephan P, etc.– (Stock) Market value of intangibles

• Hall B, etc.– Patent value

• PATVAL survey, van Pottelsberghe B, etc.– Thickets

• Harhoff D, etc.– Etc etc

15


Suggestions

• Inventor and applicants id• Inventor birth date• Applicants sector• Applicants type

– Individual, PRO, private firm, etc.

• Applicants ultimate affiliation/ownership– and its country!

• Improve the DBs from DCs– e.g. LATIPAT initiative.
