        This paper explores several characteristics of patents in the biotechnology field, comparing and contrasting them to patents in other fields of research. We find that biotechnology patents face a longer lag between application and grant date, and their secrecy would be heavily affected if legislation were to permit publication 18 months after application. They are highly concentrated geographically, as well as in industrial origin, and are used most heavily in the health sector, but have a wider spread in use than in origin. They use many more (and much more recent) references than the average patent, with a special weight on academic or scientific literature, foreign patents, and a tight circle of research fields. While they are not cited frequently on average, their use as germplasm is rising. Future research should focus on the questions that have been uncovered Manuscript profile

        Information is power, but knowledge is more powerful .information in patents and papers are good source of codified knowledge. Everyday a higher number of businesses make use of information from patents (as a main indicator of technology) and papers(as a principal indicator of science) to see what products and systems are appearing in our globe. In an era of rapidly expanding digital content, overwhelming data available on the web and the high speed of S&T progress makes it difficult for experts to extract useful knowledge without powerful tools and they need to find new ways of reviewing and managing vast quantities of textual information. “Technology watch” is a collective voluntary process with which the companies work the information in an active manner. Purpose of “technology watch” is to gather process and integrate the technical information. TW has at least 3 objectives: Facilitating the innovation process; Easy and cost effective access to information and Answering to technological questions and problems. “Technology Watch” maintains awareness at all levels of global S&T through a combination of human-based overt and IT-based approaches for analyzing and tracking the myriad S&T outputs. Powerful IT-based techniques, such as text mining, now exist to identify and extract relevant data from the S&T literature and are especially useful in making sense out of disjointed and disparate data. Regarded by many as the next wave of knowledge discovery, text mining has very high commercial values. Manuscript profile

        Todays, patent information is known as the most important resource of technical and technological information. Analysis of patent information, generate valuable knowledge in different fields and many of managers and researchers can use it. In many developed counters, using patent analysis is an ordinary task in research environments (as an analytical tool). In this paper, first, author attempts to describe the attributes and the structure of patent information and secondly, the application of patent analysis is described. Finally, the necessity of patent analyses is discussed Manuscript profile

        Intellectual property and intangible asset issues are one of the main concerns of the business world, today. Intangible asset mostly originates from intelligent and research activities and is represented as trade secrets, patents, industrial designs, copyrights, etc. Intellectual property (IP) rights mean the legal rights resulting from intellectual activity in the industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields. It is inevitable that IP awareness and knowledge must be increased among Iranian inventors and companies. Learning about patent and patenting procedures before the national and regional IP offices are of great importance to all of the people involved in this regard. The concepts of patents, patentability and general guidelines of preparing an invention report for patenting have been reviewed in this article. Manuscript profile

        5 - An Introduction to Knowing Technology Patents
        Nader Nik naam

        According to patent laws, an invention to be granted as patent needs various factors such as novelty, non obviousness and industrial applicability. Meanwhile, in nanotechnology we have faced with very small dimensions. Although dimensions so decreasing in Nanotechnology, it dose not mean that new invention will be occurred by falling the scales. Since Nanotechnology is a novel filed of science and technology, its Patent granting process there are some new problems. In this paper discussed about patents and ways of avoiding its difficulties in nanotechnology. Manuscript profile

        6 - Investigating the structure and evolution of the innovation network of catching-up countries in the field of solar energy using patent citations analysis

        Over the past three decades, research has focused on how and under what conditions latecomers have been able to become major producers of new technologies, such as renewable energy, and make technological catch-up in this area. This is emphasized for developing countries because, on the one hand, the greatest growth in energy demand in the coming years will be in these countries, and on the other hand, it is a green window of opportunity for other developing countries to learn and work towards catching-up in these areas. In this research, from the perspective of global innovation networks, the technological approach was investigated by analyzing the structure and evolution of the solar energy innovation network using patent citation analysis. For this purpose, patents in this field were extracted and cleared from the Derwent Innovation over a period 1980-2017. Then, a citation network was formed and the topological structure and country-level indicator were examined using social network analysis methods. The results showed that countries that were able to gradually increase their absorption capacity by joining the global innovation network and moving in the path of technology of leading countries by increasing citations to their patents, could able to be producers of knowledge and granted high quality patents which have been increasingly cited by other countries. These countries found a special place in the network as intermediaries for the diffusion of technology and succeeded in technological catch-up. Manuscript profile

        Patents play an important role in Intellectual Property protection. So, in recent years a considerable attention has been paid to patent and prior-art search. In process of patent application filing, searching in the previous patent database is of great importance. Patent examiners search in a huge database of patents to find if there exists any similarity between applicant’s claim and the previous registered patents. This process that called patent invalidity run, is one of the important stages of patent registration. Because of legal aspects of this process, the searcher should not leave any relevant patent document. So patent searching is essentially a recall-oriented issue in information retrieval applications. In recent years, the use of intelligent information retrieval in this search process has been investigated by many researchers. In this paper we investigate various methods of information retrieval that have been proven to be effective in retrieving relevant results. The survey also has focused on query formulation and how to transform a query patent into a search query. So we have explored different factors of a successful transformation, such as how many query words should be used, where to extract query words, how to weight them and whether to use noun-phrases instead of individual words. Furthermore, the survey covers researches that combine different features and has been proven to make a significant improvement in retrieval performance. Manuscript profile
