Using bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review techniques, it aimed to uncover key debates and insights. It examined relevant bibliometric data by employing tools like HistCite 12.03.17, VOSviewer 1.6.19, and CiteNetExplorer 1.0.0. Furthermore, using content analysis, the literature was classified and discussed under six main clusters: IPR's impact on technology and innovation, IPR's influence on seeds, IPR's role in sustainable development, intersections between IPR and research and development, discussions on geographical indications (GIs), and IPR management and policy. These clusters provided diverse perspectives on IPR's role in the agri-food sector, ranging from fostering innovation and sustainability to concerns about power concentration, farmer rights, environmental impacts, and socioeconomic outcomes. GIs were unanimously recognized for safeguarding product reputation tied to specific regions. The review summarized the intricate relationship between IPR and research and development and tools for effective IPR management and policy considerations. Overall, the IPR in agri-food sector literature offers diverse, sometimes conflicting views with limited empirical research. As a result, further comprehensive empirical investigations are required to understand the subject and better inform policymakers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 102279"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S017221902400019X/pdfft?md5=9f07aedf3944d3354d60437258680b26&pid=1-s2.0-S017221902400019X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140844408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is necessary to determine the basic components, basic dynamics, and main actors of the Cyber security issue, which is obvious that it will have an impact in many areas from social, social, economic, environmental, and political aspects, as a hot research topic. When the subject literature is examined, it has become a trend-forming research subject followed by institutions and organizations that produce R&amp;D policy, starting from the level of governments. In this study, cybersecurity research is examined in the context of 5 basic cyber security functions specified in the cyber security standard (CSF) defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is aimed to determine the research topics emerging in the international literature, to identify the most productive countries, to determine the rankings created by these countries according to their functions, to determine the research clusters and research focuses. In the study, several quantitative methods were used, especially scientometrics, social network analysis (SNA) line theory and structural hole analysis. Statistical tests (Log-Likelihood Ratio) were used to reveal the prominent areas, and the text mining method was also used. we first defined a workflow according to the “Identify”, “Protect”, “Detect”, “Respond” and “Recover” setups, and conducted an online search on the Web of Science (WoS) to access the information on the publications on the relevant topics It is seen that actors, institutions and research create different densities according to various geographical regions in the 5 functions defined within the framework of cybersecurity. It is possible to say that infiltration detection, the internet of things and the concept of artificial intelligence are among the other prominent research focuses, although it is seen that smart grids are among the most prominent research topics. In the first clustering analysis we performed, we can say that 17 clusters are formed, especially when we look under the definition function. The largest of these clusters has 32 data points, so-called \"decision making models\".</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 102278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0172219024000188/pdfft?md5=d5f6d603073924f5fb4b6a7672d20235&pid=1-s2.0-S0172219024000188-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140620604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates novel predictors for patent licensing prediction. It emphasizes the importance of judiciously selecting suitable patent-scope metrics to enhance the likelihood of successful patent licensing agreements. This work focuses on a critical aspect of patent scope, specifically examining the number of independent claims, the length of the first claim, the depth of the claim, the Cooperative Patent classification count, the non-US family count, and the family independent count. Additionally, we consider conventional metrics previously investigated in prior research, such as claim count, the count within the International Patent Classification, and Simple Family Application. Our empirical analysis harnesses a dataset comprising patents from university technology transfers within the robotics and automation domain. We analyze the relationship between patent scope measures and licensing outcomes using data visualization and statistical techniques, including the point-biserial correlation coefficient and the <em>t</em>-test. Comparative analysis of the statistical results is performed to identify the most impactful predictor. Our study reveals a correlation between the number of independent claims and the success of patent licensing.

This review uses composite indicators to compare Brazil with the USA across static and temporal evolutions. Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 4 and 5 were assessed using patents from 2000 to 2019. Patents from 2000 to 2019 reveal a TRL gap at 4–5 in Brazil, skewed towards academic articles (TRL3), indicating lag behind the USA at TRL5. Brazil's patent growth rate surpasses the USA's by eightfold. Specialization between Brazilian academia and the nation converges. The revealed technological advantage and the distance between academies and between countries are nearing unification. Brazil focuses on SDG3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) but must intensify efforts on SDG2 (Zero Hunger), SDG6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG13 (Climate Action), SDG14 (Life below Water), and SDG15 (Life on Land). The USA concentrates its technologies in SDG3 (Good Health and Well-Being).

The study shows that for certain technology sectors NPL citation plays no role as universities do not research in this area or innovation does not require scientific knowledge. For those sectors in which NPL citation plays a more important role, like patents of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, bibliographic data of cited NPL may be used to understand the geographical and institutional origin of these documents to have a clearer idea of knowledge flows between universities, research institutions and firms. NPL is shown to be mostly developed by universities and research institutions whereas firms are normally behind patents, reinforcing patents as an indicator of industrial knowledge development and NPL as an indicator for academic knowledge development. Technological landscapes should consider both to assess possible links and similarity among both. In the case of 3D printing both NPL and patent literature (PL) developments show to share a common long run trend, evidenced by a cointegration relationship, showing that for this specific technology both innovative actors: universities and firms play an important role in innovation development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 102267"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140069148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
