Looking for University Patents in Germany

Post by benny2009 » Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:31 pm

Hi,

I am student from TU-Munich. I need to look for number of patents published by german universities and extramural research institutes (Helmholtz, Fraunhofer, Max-Planck and Leibnitz) for last 5 years.

I cannot find the right tags to get the results.

Could someone help me with that? Thanks a lot!

Benjamin

Hello Benjamin,
here is a sample query that will help you to get started.

Code: Select all

select psn_name , count(tls201_appln.appln_id)
from tls206_person join tls207_pers_appln on tls206_person.person_id = tls207_pers_appln.person_id
join tls201_appln on tls207_pers_appln.appln_id = tls201_appln.appln_id
where applt_seq_nr > 0 --select only applicants
and person_ctry_code = 'DE' -- select only German applicants
and appln_filing_year between 2009 and 2014 -- limiting the years, keep in mind the 18 month delay on publications
and (psn_sector = 'UNIVERSITY' or psn_sector = 'GOV NON-PROFIT UNIVERSITY' or psn_sector = 'COMPANY UNIVERSITY')
group by psn_name
order by psn_name
You will observe that, even by using the harmonised name (hrm_l2), there are applicants that should be further grouped in order to get a more coherent list.

If you want to create a similar list for specific applicants, you could use something like the query here below:

Code: Select all

select psn_name , count(tls201_appln.appln_id) 
from tls206_person join tls207_pers_appln on tls206_person.person_id = tls207_pers_appln.person_id
join tls201_appln on tls207_pers_appln.appln_id = tls201_appln.appln_id
where applt_seq_nr > 0 --select only applicants
and person_ctry_code = 'DE' -- select only Germann applicants
and appln_filing_year between 2009 and 2014 -- limiting the years, keep in mind the 18 month delay on publications
and psn_name like 'helmotz%' 
  or psn_name like 'Fraunhofer%'
  or psn_name like 'Max%Planck%'
  or psn_name like 'Leibnitz%'
group by psn_name
order by psn_name
Even though only 4 names are used, the % wildcards will add many more potential names you want to include (or exclude) from your final list. You will need to do some clean-up work to improve the quality.

Especially for academic inventions you may want to look at inventors as well, even though you specifically wrote "published by".
