What is the SPR?
Patent Ranking based on the PATSTAT data
Global patent ranking of technological sectors and organizations worldwide, using indicators such as the number of patent applications and grants, international collaboration, and the number of applicants and inventors. Based on the PATSTAT data, the best patent statistics database from the European Patent Office, and enhanced with data from the SCImago Institutions Rankings
Goals
The SPR is designed to offer:
- Open access scientometric indicators of patents
- Insights into applicants and inventors in each country, organization, or sector
- Visibility and international ranking of institutional patents
- An analytical tool for creating and developing institutional innovation roadmaps
