Availability time-series patents and citations
Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 4:35 pm
Hi guys,
I am currently working on a project in which I would like to include:
1. The number of patents in the OECD countries over the time period 1985-2000
2. The number of forward citations made to those patents for the same sample
I am quite new to the PATSTAT database and I just got of the phone with an EPO employee who said this wasn't possible. However, do you guys know a way to substract this data from the database?
Thanks in advance,
Pim
