Abstract

Patent statistics have been widely used to assess the competitive position in various technological domains, both at the level of companies and countries. In the literature, there is a gap related to studies that highlight the importance of patents as a strategic instrument in the context of industry 4.0 technologies. In this context, the present article seeks to fill this gap by presenting a conceptual and empirical framework based on a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyze the relationship between patents and industry 4.0. For this purpose, 958 studies published in journals listed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases were selected. Patent analysis refers to examining various features of technological progress and innovation activities that characterize a given industrial or technological domain. This relationship points to the importance of patenting, as the literature review results showed an increase in patenting activity related to Industry 4.0. This study reinforces that patent analysis refers to the examination of various characteristics of technological progress and that innovation activities characterize a particular industrial or technological domain. This article also contributes to the patents and industry 4.0 fields by presenting the state of the art of this relationship and directing future research.

工业4.0与专利的关系

专利统计数据已被广泛用于评估公司和国家在各种技术领域的竞争地位。在文献中，与强调专利作为工业4.0技术背景下战略工具的重要性相关的研究存在空白。在此背景下，本文试图通过提出一个基于系统文献综述(SLR)的概念和实证框架来分析专利与工业4.0之间的关系，从而填补这一空白。为此，我们选择了在Web of Science和Scopus数据库中列出的期刊上发表的958项研究。专利分析指的是研究技术进步和创新活动的各种特征，这些特征是给定工业或技术领域的特征。这种关系表明了专利的重要性，因为文献综述结果显示，与工业4.0相关的专利活动有所增加。本研究强调，专利分析是指对技术进步的各种特征的检查，创新活动是特定工业或技术领域的特征。本文还通过展示这种关系的最新状态并指导未来的研究，为专利和工业4.0领域做出了贡献。
