Description
Patents statistics have made accelerated progress recently. They
are increasingly used by decision makers in innovation policy
or in patent offices in order to monitor developments in their
fields; The recently developed EPO Worldwide Patents Statistics
Database offers a unique tool for analysts and producers of patents
data and indicators. The purpose of this workshop, the third
in a series initiated in 2003, is to take stock of recent developments
in patents statistics and explore future perspectives, by gathering
users and suppliers.
Objectives
At the end of the conference attendees will have learned and discussed
about innovative ways for using patent data to address policy
issues, about indicators in the valuation of patents and in forecasting
patent data.
In particular, participants will get a thorough overview to the
design, structure and applications of the world-wide patent statistical
database PATSTAT. Attendees are encouraged to exchange their views
on its applicability and in enhancing its outreach and utility.
