OECD complementary patent datasets

OECD's complementary patent datasets - Triadic Patent Families, Citations, REGPAT -have been updated end January 2012, based on PATSTAT, October 2011.
The datasets can be downloaded upon request.

The OECD REGPAT database, January 2011 edition, allocates applicant's and inventor's addresses to micro-regions for more than 30 countries. It covers patent applications filed to the EPO and PCT patents at international phase. Data mainly derives from PATSTAT, October 2011. The regional allocation is based on the latest Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS), 2006 for European regions, and on Territorial Level 3 for other countries. Note that for EU-27 countries, the REGPAT database now integrates data regionalised by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL, INCENTIM/ECOOM) on behalf of Eurostat.

The OECD Triadic Patent Families (TPF), January 2012 edition, covers patent applications filed to the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office (JPO) and granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that share a same set of priorities. The data was compiled using PATSTAT, October 2011.

The OECD Citation database, January 2012 edition, covers citations of patent and non-patent literature (NPL) in patents taken at the EPO or filed through the PCT. The data is derived from PATSTAT, October 2011. The OECD Citation database mainly relies on the previous structure proposed in Webb et al. (2005). In addition to the list of cited patents and NPL, it proposes a list of EP or WO equivalents to patents cited, in order to facilitate further consolidation of the data.

The OECD HAN database, July 2011 edition, provides a grouping of patent applicants names extracted from PATSTAT, PERSON table. Revisions of this are currently underway. An updated edition of OECD HAN shall be ready in the coming months.

All the OECD datasets include links to PATSTAT's identifiers (Person_id, Appln_id, NPL_publn_id), so that it can be easily connected to PATSTAT October 2011 (April 2011 for the OECD HAN data).

The datasets are available for download to researchers: please send an e-mail to sti.contact@oecd.org to request access (mention OECD patent database in the title, and specify the name of the dataset you're interested in). Further methodological information are available on the OECD web site at http://www.oecd.org/sti/ipr-statistics.

Furthermore, note that predefined indicators on patents are provided on the OECD statistics portal at http://stats.oecd.org/ , both at regional and country levels, for selected technology domains (ICT, Biotech, Nanotech, Environmental related technologies).
