Backward Citations_Help Need
Posted: Wed Dec 11, 2013 1:31 pm
Dear all,
I am currently researching the effect of interfirm collaboration on the innovative output of the individual firms. For this purpose I would like to look at the backward citation that are used in new patent applications and if these can be traced back to the specific partnership.
I am looking at the pharmaceutical industry and specifically at five companies: GSK, Pfizer, Sanofi, Novartis and Novo Nordisk. For each of the companies I have now collected a list of partnership that I want to link to a patent output. An example would be a partnership between Novo Nordisk and ZymoGenetics, where the former cited the latter in a subsequent patent application (taking into account time- lag between the creation of a partnership and observable "innovation").
However, as I do not have any experience with PATSTAT and neither coding or programming, I find it rather difficult to create a query that would allow me to access the required data. Would someone be so kind and help me with this issue, or even advise me if that kind of data can be retrieved in an analysable form through PATSTAT?
All help and support it greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mat
