It tabulates and analyses 280,000 United States patents from countries across the world over a ten year period. Specifically, these patents were granted to "not-for-profit" entities (mainly universities and research institutes), firms with no more than 500 employees, or to individual inventors. For each of these groups, the book provides statistics and discussion on how long patents are kept in force, the extent to which they are cited, and how far inventions made in different countries are in fact owned in the United StatesSummary: pt. 1. International comparisons -- pt. 2. Small entity data for selected countriesPPN: PPN: 102344268XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-EWE
